Florence tour of the historic center. Stories, legends and gossip
This is a tour for groups of max 10 people
I am a licensed guide, and I will be at your disposal throughout the approximately three-hour tour. Walking in the old town we enjoy visiting places, streets, monuments and listening to the history of the city.
The visit starts from Piazza Santa Maria Novella, you walk through the streets of the historic center passing through the Officina Santa Maria Novella, the Baptistery, the Duomo, Piazza della Signoria, reaching the Ponte Vecchio and then Piazza della Repubblica.
Along the way I will tell you unusual and funny stories and legends, show you special details and discover Florence from a different point of view than usual.
Where is the portrait of Cellini in Piazza della Signoria? Do you know the Piggy Rite? And Berta's curse? Why is bread made without salt in Tuscany? Bring your curiosity to discover these stories, a little good mood and we will have fun together for a few hours
