Discover medieval Florence beyond the Renaissance landmarks that attract most visitors.. There is a side of Florence that many visitors never see. This private experience is designed for those who want to go beyond the traditional tourist routes and discover the city’s most hidden facets.
A city of narrow alleys, medieval towers, power struggles, impossible loves, and families vying for control of Florence.
On this private tour, I’ll guide you through the Florence of Dante Alighieri, when the city was still a labyrinth of medieval streets, tower houses, and political intrigues.
As we stroll through places steeped in history and hidden corners, we’ll retrace Dante’s life, his encounter with Beatrice, the rivalries among the great Florentine families, and the events that led to his exile.
Through stories, trivia, and anecdotes, you’ll discover a Florence different from that of the great Renaissance monuments: more intimate, more authentic, and surprisingly alive.
