The Original Evening Walk

Enjoy a relaxing evening stroll around Florence's most charming, fascinating and historic quarters, the Oltrarno. See lovely riverside vistas and picturesque views of the Ponte Vecchio, ancient cobble stoned streets, famous Renaissance palaces bristling with scandalous tales and murderous intrigues, a medieval hospice holding the dark secrets of Michelangelo's murky past, bustling squares where Florentines have met and enjoyed their evenings for centuries, artisans workshops virtually out of the Renaissance, and Florence's favorite medieval flagellation spot for those in the know!

We end at one of three great places, depending on the night. Either in Florence's best and most authentic wine boutique/cellar located in a stunning medieval palace where we have an easy going introduction to tasting fabulous Tuscan wines.

Our wine boutique is at the heart of Florence's gourmet restaurant quarter and your guide will only be too happy to suggest places to dine after your tour.
This unique wine emporium is a wonderful place to learn about Italy's best wines, gourmet products and wine accessories and to consider something very special to take home with you to savor the memories of your visit to Florence. You are under no obligation to purchase, but we will be surprised if you can resist the temptation, as the prices are very reasonable and many products will not be available in your country or in supermarkets. Or we end at our fabulous festival where you will join a discussion given by Italian princes, counts, aristocrats, and literati on Italian life, food and wine, where you taste products from some of Tuscany’s best producers, or we end at a unique wine bar…either way you get a truly unique experience that no other company is offering. When you join the festival evenings you get another experience added for free to your itinerary. This offers great value.
