Guided tour of Florence and the Oltrarno
The guided tour focuses on the left bank of the river, which is often referred to as “the most Florentine” of the districts of Florence, the Oltrarno, where the nobility of the past blends perfectly with the dynamism of the present. Escorted by our guide, you’ll be able to choose from a very rich and truly varied museum offer: Palazzo Pitti, home of the Medici Grand Dukes, which today houses four collections and the Boboli Gardens; the Church of Santo Spirito and the one of Santa Maria del Carmine, which are its most monumental religious sites; then there are the aristocratic palaces of Via Maggio and the oldest scientific museum in Europe, La Specola. The reality of the Oltrarno is, above all, one made up of artisan and historic workshops, where ancient crafts and traditional processing techniques are handed down. With this guided tour you will have the opportunity to get to know some of these masters, to see them at work and to appreciate their talent. Our guide will help you choose the shops to visit, taking into account your interests and preferences.
