For 2007 – 2008 we are currently operating tours in Tuscany only, emphasizing art and history in Florence.

In Florence, the capital of the Renaissance, every stone and street corner tells a wonderful story.

You’ve heard the ones about the passionate life and art of Michelangelo, the inventions of Leonardo daVinci, and the tales of the legendary Medici family. You have seen Brunelleschi’s impressive “Duomo,” the beautifully decorated churches, and the stunning Ponte Vecchio (Old Bridge). Equally as captivating are what the 13th century tower-houses tell about the medieval bloody feuds between the Guelph and Ghibbeline families, the devastating plague, the love affair between Dante and Beatrice, and the innovative art of Giotto.

Here, the arts, religion, history, science, and politics have been uniquely interwoven through each era to make Florence one of the greatest destinations in the world.

Come with us and we’ll share with you the celebrated and lesser-known stories of Florence. We will walk together through the cobblestone streets, learn to cook Italian cuisine, and interact with locals to get their perspective on the city of flowers.
