About
Coming to Rome and not stopping by Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, for at least a day, is simply unforgivable. Our team will buy you tickets for the high-speed train, write step-by-step instructions on how to get to the station, on which track, in which car your seat is. And in Florence, right at the head of the train, our guide will be waiting for you. Together you will go on a two-hour sightseeing tour, getting to know the iconic sights and looking into little-known places in the city.
Then we will give you a list of recommendations on where, what to eat and drink in Florence and you will have an hour to use it. After that, you can go with us to the Uffizi or get to know the city on your own.
After that, having already gotten to know Florence better, you will board the high-speed train yourself and in an hour and a half you will be in Rome.

Interesting facts and details
Depending on availability and schedule, you can visit one of the non-touristy and hidden places in Florence.
The first of them is the oldest pharmacy in Europe, painted by the Italian artist Paolino Sarti. It was here in the 16th century that perfume was created for Catherine de Medici, the aroma of which conquered the entire upper echelon of the Old World. This is one of the most Instagrammable places in the city, where tourists rarely visit.
Another treasure is the small Museo della Signoria. Here you will see an incredible canvas showing what Florence looked like in the 15th century, as well as the keys to the city.
You will also find a cinema from the beginning of the last century, built inside the palace on which Brunelleschi himself worked. Having preserved its historical interior, this cinema has been transformed into an exhibition space and a bookstore. This secret place is perfect for cool photos!
