    We had the most fabulous trip that I could have imagined. I did not want it to end but there it is! We had a perfect mix of planned and unplanned. The hotels were great - each with its own little charm. The tour guides were both superb, especially the one in Florence. Her depth of knowledge was so interesting that I think she could do whole trips with just the artwork. She knows and loves her Florence. There is nothing that I can think of to have made it any better except maybe more time :-). The booklet that you sent us was so very helpful. It had great ideas and we could look things up when we would get overwhelmed. The guides had a suggestion or two as well for us. We did find the yarn place in Chianti you suggested and it was very fascinating. Thanks again for everything.

Itinerary

The tour begins in the Piazza della Repubblica, site of the Forum in ancient times; from here you will explore the many picturesque corners of the centro storico. Marvel at the Piazza del Duomo, with its gaily colored, marble-clad cathedral and baptistery. Nearby is Orsanmichele, once a grain market, whose exterior is adorned with masterpieces of Renaissance sculpture in marble and bronze.

Discover the drama behind the Piazza della Signoria, the shape of which is the result of a 13th century family feud. Cross the famous Ponte Vecchio with its quaint jewelry shops lining both sides of the bridge. You will then make your way to the poet Dante's house, and the little chapel where he first saw his beloved Beatrice.

The tour ends in the majestic spaces of the Franciscan Basilica of Santa Croce, a veritable Pantheon of famous Florentines, housing the tombs of Michelangelo, Galileo and Machiavelli. The depth of understanding you gain from this tour will follow you as you explore the rest of the city.
