Overview

Have you ever wondered what's the story behind that statue in the corner of that intersection, that rock in a middle of a piazza, that weird shaped street lantern or why some people call that street differently from what's written in your map?Well my friend those are the legends of our beautiful city that only us that live here know the true story behind it. Passed on from generation to generation I will share with you FLORENCE as it was never told or written in books. We will go thru the highlights of the city but mostly the hidden gems where you will be seeing things that no tours offer and hear the City Stories that you can't find in any of the history books. I'm not certified nor very well informed to tell you HISTORY which you can easily find online but I will share with you the stories and the legends of this city that only us, the people of Florence know and can pass along with narration. I'll bestow upon you my keys to unlock perks at my local faves in Florence during your stay
