Theme: Reading the living city as we pass
This walk teaches you how to read Florence with your eyes open. We drift through San Frediano and Santo Spirito, neighborhoods rich in artisan workshops and tiny grocery stores, decoding signs, symbols, and rhythms.
We peek into botteghe, smell the leather, touch the marble dust, watch gold leaf being burnished, and learn what makes something “truly local.”
While we explore, you’ll also learn how to speak like a local. From ordering a coffee at the bar to asking for the check at a restaurant, from greeting people warmly to expressing awe at the beauty around you — everyday Italian expressions and gestures as we travel. It’s the perfect way to connect more deeply with the places we visit and with the people who make them special.
Optional finale: shopping tips and introductions to a few trusted artisan friends.
