No scripts, no flag-following, no rushing. In two unforgettable hours you'll hear of Medici popes who poisoned their rivals, of a murder staged inside the cathedral during Mass, and of the last Medici princess whose final act saved Florence's treasures from being sold off piece by piece. You'll skip the hour-long Duomo queue with pre-booked priority entry and step inside the cathedral while other visitors are still waiting in the sun. This is Florence told the way Florentines tell it — with scandal, passion and pride. A tour designed for travelers who don't want a checklist; they want a memory. Maximum 10 guests per tour.

You’ll kick things off with a visit to the Accademia Gallery, home to Michelangelo’s iconic statue of David. Your guide is an expert on Renaissance art, so they’ll tell you the story of how the legendary artist crafted this piece, which is widely regarded to be artistically perfect. There’s a bunch of his other statues on show here, as well, along with paintings from the 15th century. You’ll take a break from art for a bit as you make your way to the other gallery on the itinerary, the Uffizi Gallery. The journey there takes you through the Piazza del Duomo, home to Florence’s 800-year-old cathedral, and the Piazza della Signoria, where Florence’s government is based. Finally, when you reach the Uffizi Gallery, you’ll be shown around the collection, which includes work by Leonardo Da Vinci, Raphael, Caravaggio and more. All of these artists are considered masters of the Renaissance, and you’ll hear about each of their stories right up until it’s time for the gallery to close.

The Uffizi is home to the world’s largest collection of Renaissance paintings, but it was first commissioned as a place of business in 1560 by a member of the influential Medici dynasty. Valentina adds, “as you wander its 96 opulent rooms, you’ll hear stories and secrets about the mighty Medici family that you won’t find in the guidebooks.” It’s a feast for the eyes, as you take in all the must-see masterpieces, from Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus, to Da Vinci’s Annunciation and the Giotto room, displaying the Uffizi’s oldest paintings. Scatterings of Michelangelo, Caravaggio and Raphael across the gallery will fight for your attention, while your guide keeps order and helps you absorb the context, symbolism and quality of each piece. The tour ends with a well-deserved break at the terrace café. But, if you’re still keen to explore more, or just have to revisit a favourite, you can wander to your heart’s content, as your ticket is valid until closing time.

Wine lovers, this trip into Tuscany from Florence is designed just for you. You’ll leave the city behind and head to the Chianti region, known around the world for its red wines.

From here, you’ll head to a family-run wine estate for lunch and a wine-tasting session. The cellars have been around since Medieval times, and they use oak barrels to do a lot of their aging. You can expect Italian classics prepped with ingredients grown on the property. You’ll have three different Chiantis to sample. This region is also known for its olive oil, so you can try some of that, too.
