The Journey
Full tour description
Gliding into the Heart of Florence
Your journey begins in pure Florentine style: aboard a traditional barchetto, gliding silently along the Arno beneath Ponte Vecchio and Santa Trinita. No engine, just the soft rhythm of the oar and the golden light of sunset. As the river flows, enjoy a glass of wine and local delicacies: an intimate introduction to a city that reveals its beauty slowly, and always with grace.
Views, Art and Aperitifs
Start the day by exploring both sides of Florence on an e-bike, from hidden alleys to sweeping views from Piazzale Michelangelo. In the afternoon, discover the private elegance of Palazzo Gondi, a Renaissance gem with views so close to the Duomo they feel within reach. As the sun sets, learn to craft your own Italian cocktail on a rooftop terrace: Negroni, Americano and Spritz paired with stories, flavours, and a skyline that turns to gold.
Crafted by Hand, Tasted by Heart
Step into Florence’s living soul with a walk through its artisan workshops, where skills have been passed down for generations. Meet the guardians of ancient trades and discover the heritage of the city’s craft guilds. Later, indulge in a private wine tasting of iconic Brunello or Supertuscan vintages, set in a frescoed salon few ever see. Every note, every sip tells a story of Tuscan land, time and care.
A Farewell in Florentine Light
As your time in Florence draws to a close, linger in the beauty that surrounds you: from rooftops to riverbanks, from perfume notes to Renaissance brushstrokes. This journey, made of hidden angles and refined moments, can become the perfect chapter of a longer Italian escape. We’ll guide you in shaping the travel story that suits you best.
*This journey, entirely dedicated to Rome’s more intimate side, can also be woven into a longer itinerary across Italy. We’ll guide you in shaping it as a perfect beginning, a graceful interlude, or a final note, always in tune with your personal travel story.
