Explore off the beaten path with walking tour through Florence’s divine Oltrarno district, famous for its abundant artisan shops. The city's artisans are still active, many still working in the most traditional of ways, while others have modernized their crafts to suit contemporary ways. A morning or late afternoon wander to this area is an inspiring way to experience how the Renaissance backbone of the city's culture has influenced today's artists and artisans. Meet Florentine craftsmen, watch them in action and admire their finished work including fine art prints, jewelry, leather goods and more. You may even get the chance to try the ancient skill of paper marbling.
No tour in Oltrarno is complete without our “foodie exploration”. There is a unique deli shop where you can taste and purchase the typical Tuscan specialties you adore, including Vin Santo & Cantuccini, extra virgin olive oil, special pastas and a Tuscan Cooking book to take back home. You can enjoy a “gourmet lunch” in one of the cozy and elegant dining rooms inside the shop and, if it is autumn or winter try their spectacular “Tagliatelle with truffles”! Our tour will end with a visit inside the Church of Santa Maria del Carmine to admire the beautiful Brancacci Chapel.
