Discover this tiny village nestled on the hills above Florence, out from the crowd and blessed by a nice breeze. Enjoy the gorgeous views, see some art treasures hidden between its narrow roads and learn about the millenary history without missing its sparkling everyday life!
We have just returned from our trip to Florence and wanted to say thank you to Dina for our tour of the artisans of Florence. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her and it was interesting to see both some old techniques and also an innovative new approach keeping the artisan tradition alive. In addition, what we saw on our tour gave us a deeper appreciation of what we saw subsequently in the Medici Chapel the following day. Our tour also involved cappuccino, panettone and ice cream which is always a good formula!
We would have no hesitation in recommending Dina if you want to find out more about the renaissance city.

Wonderful time
Omar was a wonderful guide. His explanation of his neighborhood was truly a tour of his life and experiences. He immersed us in his day to day, introducing us to several artisans at a beautiful mosaics shop, showed us how to drink cafe, we shopped at a local market and introduced us to a local live theater manager. Omar was charming and engaging! If we are lucky enough to come back we would love to choose another of his tours.

Awesome Artisans!
My husband, son (8 yrs) and I had a great time learning about the different crafts from Dina and seeing first hand demonstrations! She chose four very different artisans for us to meet, all of whom were very generous with their time. I only wish we could’ve done more tours with Dina!

Wonderful tour with Omar!
We (a family of four, including 14 and 10 year old boys) enjoyed a wonderful morning with Omar, learning about so many interesting aspects of Italian daily life and Sant’Ambrogio in particular. We regret that we forgot to take a picture with Omar because he was so incredibly warm, friendly, and interesting! We were treated to many different experiences but especially appreciated trying delicious local pastries, getting to spend time in an artisan workshop for mosaics (amazing to see the process!) and seeing a local dinner theater with deep ties to the community. Omar was talented at weaving interesting facts and personal stories into the different sites on the tour (his elementary school is absolutely beautiful!) and made our first morning in Florence a memorable and personalized experience. Grazie, Omar!!!
