EXAMPLE GUIDEBOOK

Discovering Florence day trip

Florence is a beautiful city but also a very chaotic and difficult one: make sure you have a Virgil – or better still, a Beatrice – by your side to aid you and guide your steps with experience. It can be hard to enjoy all that the city has to offer when you are overwhelmed by the amount of museums, churches, galleries, palazzi and crowds of tourists filling the streets and squares. And yet the charm which has attracted so many visitors over the course of the centuries is still here, intact and waiting for you to discover it. We provide a Discovering Florence tour for those who have never been to Florence before and are seeking an introduction to its history and main monuments. We will explore the city’s growth from its Roman foundation, flourishing during the Middle Ages, through to the peak of its Renaissance splendour. Surely you can't miss a tour in the Uffizi Gallery, the main museum in the city. We will admire an exceptional collection of paintings, set within an architectural gem, taking you on a journey from the age of Giotto to the great Renaissance masters.

This trip is led by associates Icona Toscana.
