Renaissance Florence

Florence is known as the cradle of the Renaissance, and rightfully so. The 14th century explosion of creative talent that ended the Dark Ages and forever changed the world, was born and matured in this beautiful, magnificent city. Some of the greatest names in history called Florence home: Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Donatello, Dante, Giotto, and the infamous Machiavelli.
Florence is known as a pedestrian-friendly city, with all of the major museums, palazzos, and squares located within easy walking distance. The friendly ambiance of this genteel Tuscan capital will set you at ease as you wander along its cobblestoned streets lined with shops and restaurants. During your stay a local Florentine guide will lead you on a private journey of exploration throughout the city, where you’ll marvel at the fascinating story of Florence, both past and present.
