Discover Florence with a travel advisor who knows the birthplace of the Renaissance. From the Uffizi to artisan workshops, experience Tuscany's magnificent capital.
Why Work with a Travel Advisor for Your Florence Trip
Florence contains more Renaissance masterpieces per square mile than anywhere on earth. This concentration creates both opportunity and challenge—without proper planning, you'll spend your trip in lines rather than in front of Botticelli. A travel advisor who knows Florence transforms your visit from frustrating to transcendent.
Skipping the Lines
Florence's museums require strategy. Your advisor secures:
- Timed entry to the Uffizi and Accademia (for David)
- Skip-the-line access during peak tourist seasons
- Private guided tours with art historians who bring context to masterpieces
- Early morning or evening visits when crowds thin
- Lesser-known gems like Palazzo Pitti and the Bargello
Artisan Florence
The city's craft traditions continue today. Your advisor connects you with:
- Leather workshops in Santa Croce (the real ones, not tourist traps)
- Paper marbling studios continuing centuries-old techniques
- Jewelry artisans on the Ponte Vecchio and beyond
- Perfume houses creating bespoke fragrances
- Cooking classes in historic Florentine kitchens
Tuscan Cuisine
Florentine food celebrates simplicity and quality. Your advisor guides you to:
- Bistecca alla fiorentina at the restaurants that do it right
- Trattorie where locals actually eat
- Mercato Centrale for food hall dining and cooking classes
- Wine bars pouring Super Tuscans and Chianti Classico
- Modern Tuscan at restaurants redefining tradition
Tuscan Escapes
Florence is your gateway to the region. Your advisor arranges:
- Chianti wine tours with preferred vineyard access
- Day trips to Siena and the hill towns
- Cinque Terre excursions
- Truffle hunting in season
- Villa stays in the Tuscan countryside
