We will walk past the imposing Basilica of Santa Croce, admiring its magnificent marble façade and the vast square in front of it.

A stop here is optional, but it’s a unique opportunity to experience a fascinating piece of Florentine history.

Via de' Neri

Welcome to Via dei Neri, the undisputed street food paradise of Florence and home to the world-famous All’Antico Vinaio. This lively and flavorful street is a must-visit for food lovers, where the aromas of freshly prepared specialties fill the air.

Fontana del Porcellino

The Porcellino Fountain is one of Florence’s most beloved symbols, steeped in tradition and charm. Legend has it that rubbing its shiny bronze snout and tossing a coin into the grate below will bring you good luck—and guarantee your return to Florence! A small ritual, but one you simply can’t miss on your visit to the city. Will you put fate to the test?

We’ll stop at one of the city’s top gelaterias, where master gelato makers transform high-quality local ingredients into pure delight. Creamy, refreshing, and full of flavor—this is gelato as it was meant to be!

Ponte Santa Trinita

As a special extra stop, we’ll dive into one of Tuscany’s greatest treasures: extra virgin olive oil.

We’ll visit a carefully selected location where you’ll have the chance to taste some of the finest locally-produced extra virgin olive oils, learning how to distinguish their nuances, aromas, and characteristics. This is not just a tasting—it’s an experience that will change the way you look at olive oil forever.
