You will need to arrive the day before the tour, as the program starts in the morning of the first day.

We begin our journey early in the morning, when Florence is just waking up. At 7 am, the city is still shrouded in morning freshness, the streets are deserted, and we have a unique opportunity to see it without the bustle of tourist crowds.

We will go on a walking tour with a local guide who lives here and is in love with this city. He will take us along the most atmospheric streets, tell us stories that cannot be found in guidebooks, and show Florence through the eyes of locals. We will walk through iconic places before the opening of shops, restaurants and stalls, so that nothing distracts from the majestic architecture, history and morning mood of the city. The Pitti Palace, the grandiose Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore with its famous Brunelleschi dome and the graceful Giotto bell tower are the very iconic places that you want to see without the frenzied crowd. Let's walk through Piazza della Signoria, the heart of the city, where the most important events in the history of Florence once took place.

Be sure to take a photo on the Ponte Vecchio - an ancient bridge with unique shops, which in itself is one of the main attractions. Here you can feel the spirit of old Florence, enjoy the atmosphere and admire the reflection of the city in the waters of the Arno River.

After the walk, you will have time to explore Florence on your own. You can look into famous museums, climb to observation decks, try the best dishes of the region: Florentine steak (bistecca alla fiorentina), cooked over an open fire, or pappa al pomodoro - thick tomato soup with bread.

This is how our Tuscan journey begins - with the morning magic of Florence, its silence, comfort and the feeling that the whole city belongs only to us.

We will spend the whole day in Florence, and in the evening we will go up to the Michelangelo Square - the best observation point of the city. After walking along the noisy streets, we will go to the very heart of Tuscany - to our first atmospheric accommodation, a small family hotel in a small cozy town, where time flows completely differently than in crowded Florence. Immersion in the culture and special rhythm of life of rural Italy begins.

Our morning begins in the heart of Tuscany, on a family farm in the Chianti region. Here we will have a truly cozy breakfast prepared by a caring hostess: fresh cheese, crispy bread, jams, a hot omelet made from homemade eggs, aromatic coffee, and warm Italian hospitality.

After a leisurely morning, we set off to explore the Chianti region, famous for its vineyards, hill,s and atmospheric medieval towns.

What awaits us on this day?

Then we went for a tasting in a castle founded in the 12th century, which is the oldest winery in Italy. Here, we will learn about the history of the founding family and the process of creating the famous drink. We will also taste the most delicious wines produced in this unique place. We will walk around the winery and enjoy a glass of Chianti from an incredible panoramic terrace.

Hungry? Of course! We are ready for a traditional lunch with local cheeses, homemade pasta with truffles and classic Tuscan drinks in one of the atmospheric trattorias of the region. After that, you can walk among the vineyards, sit on the green grass with a view of the Tuscan hills, and just soak up the gentle autumn sun, which will be so missed in winter. Do you feel it? Have we caught that very real rhythm of Tuscany, chatting about nothing, laughing and enjoying the moment, not thinking about business and worries, just enjoying life and the views. Is this even legal?

In the evening we go to our new home, where we will spend the next few nights - we move to a winery in the Montepulciano region.
