Overview

Discover Florence with a licensed guide specialized in archaeology, offering a unique perspective on the city.

This tour reveals Florence beyond its Renaissance façade, uncovering its Roman origins and long historical evolution.

From the ancient Roman city of Florentia to traces of the Forum, theatre, urban infrastructure, city walls, and baths, Florence preserves layers of history still visible in its urban fabric.

The journey continues through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, highlighting powerful families such as the Medici and masters of art including Brunelleschi, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Leonardo da Vinci.

This is not a standard walking tour, but an archaeological reading of the city across centuries.

Accessibility available upon request.
