Overview

Your local host will lead you off Florence’s tourist trail in the historic city center to secret spots your guidebook doesn’t even know about. You’ll explore quiet streets, like Via Taddea, where Carlo Lorenzini, the author of Pinocchio, was born, and see Michelangelo’s Laurentian Library, his least-visited architectural work. Try a regional red at a wine bar, then hear legends of wine turning into blood at Cosimo Rosselli Chapel of the Sacrament. End at hidden local haunt Caffé Verrone for an espresso and a snack on a sun-dappled terrace.

Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.
