Overview

Wander around the markets, stalls and backstreets of Florence and discover the rich history of artisanal crafts, with tickets to Santo Spirito included.
Florence is known as the grand city of the Renaissance, with its awe-inspiring architecture and galleries, like the Duomo and the Uffizi. It was home to great artists and poets like Dante and Michelangelo, but it was also - and indeed still is - a thriving melting pot of specialist artisans. On this private three hour guided tour you will meet some of Florence's expert craftspeople and marvel at their work, visit the markets, stop in at the school of leatherwork, observe traditional bookbinding and paper marbling, as well as walk around many of the less well known back streets and alleyways and trendy neighbourhoods not usually seen by the average visitor.
