A Storyteller's half-day Florence Walking Tour

Not your run-of-the-mill tour, but a walk where magnificent squares and sites become the backdrop for tales of divine intervention, scandalous plots, murder, and intrigue. See the city with a storyteller with a passion for history. Join me for impressive sites and fascinating tales. Hear the legend of how the city was spared from imminent siege through divine intervention. Then plunge into the world of the Medici as tales of conspiracy unfold as you pass through their Renaissance stomping ground. Discover how an image transformed a grain market into a church. Continue through the medieval quarter of Dante, the ultimate storyteller, and discover how his tales of sinners became the means of his revenge on his political enemies. Step into Piazza della Signoria and see the spot where a charismatic power-thirsty preacher was burnt at the stake. On the Ponte Vecchio learn how the Arno River helped transform the city into a bustling capital but also how its ragging flood waters menaced the population.
