An evening walking tour is the best way to visit Florence and avoid crowded streets and queues! We suggest an original and exciting visit, during which you will visit some hidden corners and monuments of the city, which have been the "scenic scenes" of blood stories, intrigues, struggles and mysteries that have unfolded over the centuries. A strictly "noir" aperitif, will create a perfect atmosphere to learn about the true story of one of the most fascinating cities in Italy
