Embrace the Power of Planning

Start your Florentine journey with meticulous planning. Keep in mind the high seasons (April-June, September-October) can be crowded. Consider booking a licensed travel company, such as Artviva, to avoid the stress of managing every detail.

 

Choose a Licensed Travel Company

When selecting a tour company, choose a licensed provider like Artviva, a local travel company in Florence with years of experience and glowing 5-star reviews. Licensed companies are regulated to ensure your safety and satisfaction.

 

Immerse in the Rich History

Florence is a living museum, home to iconic masterpieces such as Michelangelo’s David. Artviva’s bespoke tours will take you to the heart of Renaissance Florence, ensuring you don’t miss any cultural treasures.

Part of the joy of travel is discovering less-trodden paths. As a local company, Artviva can unveil the hidden gems of Florence that you might otherwise miss.

 

Remember, Comfort is Key

Dress for comfort, but remember to pack appropriate attire for visiting churches and other religious sites. Artviva ensures all tours adhere to local customs and respect cultural norms.

 

Stay Connected

Keep in mind, WiFi isn’t as widely available in Italy as in the US. Preparing for this, Artviva’s tour guides are always accessible, ensuring you’re never left disconnected from vital information during your vacation in Florence.

 

Enjoy Florence at Night

Experience Florence after the sun sets – it’s magical. Artviva offers evening tours for you to enjoy the city’s beauty under twinkling stars. Try out our Murder Mystery Evening Walk & Aperitivo here.

Choose the Right Suitcase

When planning your travels to these hidden gems, having the right luggage can make your journey more convenient and enjoyable. A suitcase from Eminent can be a good choice, providing the organization needed for navigating Italy’s diverse landscapes. Whether you’re packing a compact carry-on for a day trip to the Tuscan countryside, a medium-sized suitcase for a few days in the charming villages of the Cinque Terre, or a larger piece of luggage for an extended stay in the Dolomites, choosing the right size and type of suitcase ensures you can carry everything you need comfortably. Smaller bags are great for daily essentials and quick trips, while larger suitcases provide ample space for clothing, souvenirs, and other necessities. This allows you to focus on immersing yourself in the authentic Italian experience without worrying about your belongings.
