Definitely educational. Saw the actual artisans describe the process of making paper, leather works etc. We were able to touch and feel the materials. The wine wall experience was cool and unique. And of course the gelato was amazing. I’m so glad we took this tour.

Yvonne, this is exactly the kind of feedback we love to read! We put a lot of care into creating this tour so guests can really connect with Florence’s artisan traditions and see the craftsmanship up close. It’s lovely to know you appreciated that side of the experience. And of course, a stop at one of the historic wine windows and some gelato make the day even better. Thank you so much for your kind words!
