Itinerary

1

Florence

Experience Florence with a local host who brings the city to life through personal stories and off-the-beaten-path discoveries. This is more than a tour—it’s a personalized City Unscripted experience filled with real moments and cultural insights. Before your day begins, you’ll receive a short online Personalization Form so we can tailor your itinerary to your interests—be it local food, Renaissance art, family-run boutiques, or architectural gems. Here are some stops that could shape your day:

2

Oltrarno

Begin in the artsy Oltrarno district, home to artisan workshops, lesser-known churches, and tucked-away piazzas. This authentic neighborhood reflects Florence’s local character, far from the typical tourist trail.

3

Piazza della Signoria

Step into Florence’s civic heart at Piazza della Signoria, where historic statues and grand palazzos frame everyday city life. It’s a space of political power, public art, and centuries of cultural history.

4

Mercato di Sant'Ambrogio

Discover a true Florentine market where locals shop for fresh produce, cheeses, and regional specialties. Immerse yourself in the sounds, scents, and flavors that define daily life—perhaps with a quick bite.

5

Ponte Vecchio

End your experience at Florence’s most storied bridge. Spanning the Arno River, the Ponte Vecchio’s centuries-old shops and postcard-worthy views offer a charming close to your day of authentic discovery.
