Over deze ervaring
To explore the city of Florence while walking just a little, sitting down whenever you want, and savoring a delicious AFFOGATO, this is the tour for you. AFFOGATO is an Italian specialty, consisting of vanilla ice cream topped with a cup of espresso. Our guides, experts in Florentine history, characters, and anecdotes, will enchant you with their tales of the city, the "cradle of the Renaissance."
We'll explore the alleys of medieval Florence together, venture among the monuments of Renaissance splendor, and enjoy this enchantment while sitting on our practical walking stool. As we relax, surrounded by beauty all around us, it's time for the affogato. It was in Florence, in the sixteenth century, that architect Bernardo Buontalenti invented gelato, the basis of the affogato. That's why Florence is home to the best gelaterias in the world! And once again, we'll unfold our folding stool and use it to enjoy Florence's iconic monuments, as well as our celebrated affogato. Children and those who don't like coffee will, of course, enjoy a delicious coffee-free gelato!
