In the morning,  one of our expert local guides will take you on a walk through the streets  and piazzas of Florence to discuss the ideas of the Renaissance, the lives of many famous artists, the Medici family who showered Florence with countless masterpieces, and how life changed forever during this epic period of  the history of Florence.

In-between the famous landmarks, we'll take enchanting back-streets and alleys paved with the original stones from ancient times. Here, we'll discover lesser known attractions that will help weave together the complex and rich history of the city and provide our guests with a more intimate experience of Florence.

We'll pause to admire the Ponte Vecchio and to discuss the history and role of the oldest surviving bridge crossing the river Arno. As we enter the piazza della Signoria, after admiring Vasari's Corridor from the exterior, we'll enter Dante's old neighborhood. After enjoying a walk through the historical centre of Florence we arrive at the Accademia Gallery, home to Florence 's most treasured work of art - "MichelAngelo's David". After enjoying an in-depth discussion of David, we'll also have time to admire "MichelAngelo's Slaves". A series of breath-taking sculptures of original captives of the stone who writhe, struggle and turn, forever attempting to free themselves from their rigid marble blocks.

After a fascinating walking tour of Florence, one of our local expert driver guides will drive you,  via a splendid viewpoint of Florence,  up into the neighboring Chianti wine region where you can visit a local restaurant known only to the locals for an optional lunch. Following a relaxing lunch, during which you can plan the rest of the day with your driver guide, you'll spend the rest of the day visiting vineyards to taste the local Chainti wines, exploring medieval hill towns, driving along scenic back-roads, or perhaps visiting the enchanting hill town of Imprugneta to marvel at the Terracotta creations of the local artisans.

After a relaxing care-free afternoon exploring the Chianti, following scenic back-roads you'll return to Florence in the early evening hours having experienced a full day tour of Florence and the Chianti wine region.
