The perfect holiday
Add a touch of uniqueness to your Florence vacation, check out the experiences we suggest. The people we suggest below are friends and/or people we work closely with to help our guests find the perfect experience for their needs.
We have personally tried them all, so we can assure you of their utmost professionalism and high quality of their services. In addition to extra services, small events and workshops, we will make sure to recommend all the must-see stops in Florence and Tuscany, hidden places, typical restaurants, the best ice cream, temporary exhibitions, shows and events of the month.
UNUSUAL TOURS
Florence is easy to discover on your own, but instead of doing the usual “museum gorging”, why not book an alternative tour to discover anecdotes, stories you’ve never heard before and spend two hours in a different way with one of these certified guides?
Le Ragazze di San Frediano
Giulia and Vittoria, law and literature graduates respectively, and now tour guides.
Prepared to help you rediscover unique places and stories while walking together around the city.
From the most classic tours to the slightly alternative ones such as "Tutta colpa dell'amore": the most romantic of their walks, during which they will tell you about lived, ardent and passionate loves or loves only dreamed. Happy loves, nourished by art and words, or unhappy loves, faded into a tragic epilogue. All in a stroll through the center where you will relive the great passions that swept through the lives of our city's poets, painters and powerful people, experienced in the streets of Florence or hidden behind the doors of its palaces.

Wine moments with Giulia
Curious to taste something different from the usual “super tuscans wines”?
Here is how Giulia describes her passion that she has been able to transform into her work: "Wine for me is joy. Among all the emotions it can arouse at the end it always leaves me with that note of happiness.
