From hidden cafes to secret stories, there’s more to Florence than meets the eye.
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
Florence may be Italy’s sun-dappled Cradle of the Renaissance, but there’s more to the city than ancient architecture and renowned museums. Your local host will lead you off the tourist trail to visit secret spots your guidebook doesn’t even know about. Michelangelo’s David may be a must-see, but did you think to explore the impressive Laurentian Library, his least-visited architectural work? Ask your host for recommendations at a cozy wine bar, then hear local legends of wine turning into blood at Cosimo Rosselli Chapel of the Sacrament. Peek behind the curtain into modern Florentine life at antique markets, and when your feet need a rest, head to charming hidden haunt Caffé Verrone – a cafe on a terrace that was once used to hang laundry.

We were so thankful to have a tour with Olmo at the start of our time in Florence. He did a fantastic job showing us interesting nooks and crannies of the city. We would definitely recommend this style tour for anyone looking to get off the beaten path and start to understand what makes Florence tick.

Show moreOlmo was courteous and thoughtful in his words, presentation and curation of local places around Florence. As an architecture and building buff I appreciated him showing us the elevated walkway built for the Medici family, a local residence, and a jail that was redeveloped into a mixed use center.
