Florence Travel Guide
The beauty of Florence is indescribable. The Renaissance cradle boasts world-class museums, magnificent architecture, and centuries-old culinary traditions. From Michelangelo's David to the majestic Duomo, cultural riches blend with an authentic Tuscan atmosphere that includes terracotta hues, cypress scents, and locals gathering in ancient piazzas for wine and conversation under golden light. The walkable historic center houses treasures like the Uffizi Gallery, with Botticelli and Da Vinci masterpieces. Cross the Ponte Vecchio spanning the Arno and explore San Lorenzo market's vibrant energy. For hands-on experiences, try workshops in traditional Florentine crafts like leather working, paper marbling, or cooking classics.

Everything went perfectly. We had such a good time. All our tour guides were expert historians. All the car pick-ups and trains went smoothly. We added a last-minute tour in another city and Zicasso's travel specialists were so accommodating. I highly recommend them.

My wife and I recently returned from our first trip to Italy and want to highly recommend Zicasso's travel specialist and her company for creating the perfect vacation for us. It was a two-month process of back and forth, but no matter what we asked of her, she delivered several options.
We had a perfect mix of historical Florence and its museums, and wonderful restaurants, and the Tuscany and Umbria countryside experience. And on our first day, when our flight into Florence got diverted to Milan, we had the peace of mind that our travel specialist was there to help with her much appreciated support.

We loved our itinerary! We gave the locations we wanted to visit to Zicasso’s tour operator and they fit everything in. They were with us every step of the way and listened to feedback about any adjustments, and stayed within budget.
