What To Expect

Discover the hills above Florence with an easy and charming hike, suitable for everyone. A walk that combines nature, history, and legend, through olive groves, countryside, and breathtaking views over the city of Florence.

We will start from Fiesole (easily reachable from the center of Florence in just 10 minutes by bus) and walk along paths that tell centuries of stories: the Maiano estate and the Monte Ceceri Natural Park. Right here, where stone was once quarried and carved by stonemasons, Leonardo da Vinci tested his incredible flying machine. We will stand at the exact spot of the first human flight in history: a place that blends myth, genius, and landscape.

The hike will end with a traditional Italian aperitivo in the countryside: a convivial moment to taste local products and raise a glass together after the adventure.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
