We love all types of art/artists and this tour seemed like it would allow us to learn more about them. It was amazing! Maria personalized our tour to include visits to studios/stores of jewelry making, Florentine paper design, leather, mosaics and added stops along the way (textiles, gold leaf painting, local craft show) as she got to know us. We truly enjoyed meeting so many artisans and learning about renaissance and contemporary techniques. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. this tour, it added a wonderful dimension to our trip to Florence!

If you really want to explore the true arts and artisans of Florence, this is an amazing tour that explores the various trades. Our tour guide took us to mosaic making, perfume shop, goldsmith, paper marbling, lithograph maker shops. We got to meet the owners and artisans, and learn about the process of their craft. There were also opportunities to purchase, but it was solely up to you, no pressure. Our guide, Maria, was absolutely great!!

The description of this tour was intriguing and it proved to be fascinating! Maria was our guide and we had her all to ourselves that afternoon. We started at the Florentine mosaic studio "Mosaici di Lastrucci" which blew us away. You think you are looking at a beautiful paintings but they are all made of stone. At all our stops we were introduced to the craftsmen and women and got to watch them at work. Next was a goldsmith's shop, then a shoemaker, then a leather maker. We had told Maria at the onset that we wanted her to show us some genuine Italian leather craftsmen as Florence has tons of leather goods - lots of them knockoffs. She came through in a big way and took us to two leather shops you must visit while in Florence - BENHEART and KATIAN. My daughter purchased her first leather jacket at Benheart. While waiting for them to add her initials on the sleeve of her jacket, who comes in but the designer himself! Then we went to Katian where I found my jacket and also met the designer!! Such a cool experience - we never would have found these shops without Maria. Our last stop was at a stationery store where we got to see how they make their own paper - A. Cozzi and do some shopping. I highly recommend this tour - just make sure you wear comfortable shoes as it is a lot of walking. Grazie Maria!
