Il meglio di Firenze tour di gruppo
Un tour guidato a piedi è il modo migliore per scoprire il centro storico di Firenze e ci assicureremo di non perdere nessuno dei punti salienti.
Cammineremo tra monumenti iconici come la magnifica Cattedrale, con la cupola del Brunelleschi, il Battistero e il Campanile di Giotto. Il nostro tour vi condurrà in Piazza Signoria, il centro politico di Firenze, dominato da una fortezza medievale che è stata sede del governo della città per 700 anni. La piazza, un museo a cielo aperto, ospita alcune delle più belle sculture dell'era rinascimentale. Infine visiteremo il famoso Ponte Vecchio, il più antico di Firenze e l'unico a sopravvivere alla Seconda Guerra Mondiale. Esploreremo poi le strade strette e le piccole piazze della Firenze medievale, le vecchie case a torre, testimoni di rivalità di famiglia, il tutto mentre la vostra guida vi racconterà le curiosità di ogni luogo.
Infine faremo una “fresca” pausa con un gelato da gustare mentre la guida sarà disponibile per altre curiosità.
