Sustainable Travel
As local Italian tour operators, we have to consider the current and future economic, social and environmental impacts.
Italy is among the Ten most visited countries in the world. This opportunity generates economic benefits for a local area. Its negative consequences include overuse of resources and damage to local culture.
That's why we offer Sustainable way to Travel, which introduces you to local culture—allowing you to learn about our communities and teams of like-minded professionals.
Our Private tours cater to a limited group size aiming at a more sustainable and low-impact type of experience.
Florence Food & Wine Walks
Over the past Fifteen years, we have developed a different way to visit our City. We live in Florence and would love to show you an insider's view of our famous City.
Our Food Tours allow you to understand the local culture differently. Before you visit the famous sites, join Linda and her team of certified guides for an unforgettable walk around the City.
Understand local culture by meeting with bakers, gelato makers, and delicatessen owners. Learn about the origins of our local food at historical food trucks, growers' markets, and gourmet wine bars!
