This tour is designed for those who want to discover and bring back home the artisan heart of Florence, savoring the genuine and finest of Florentine artisan traditions. The best place to visit is the “Oltrarno”, the historical centre in the other side of the river Arno, where you can encounter artisans who preserve original working methods transmitted by the ancient craftsmen and make you feel that the past is still alive. Here you will find everything that is hand made, from silk to silver, paper, leather, pottery, tailor made shoes. You can find bronze workers, wood carvers, frame guilders, wrought-iron workshops, marbled papers, hard stone mosaics, intarsia, all this in every corner of the ancient and typical labyrinth of lanes and small piazzas.

Having the opportunity to visit so many workshops in the area, we have focused, with a particular attention, in those who maintain a good balance between quality and price, studying with accuracy every single Florentine artisan’s “bottega”. We'll personalize your tour to meet your desires and needs, the tour includes also a light lunch in small restaurants where the artisans use to go, and a nice, small present.
