Artisan Tour

visit some of the workshops of the local artisans and see first hand the hand-made

Visiting the artisan workshops is a fascinating way to understand the manual workings of some of the traditional products that Florence is famed for world-wide.
It is a delight to meet some of the locals and also walk the streets that may not have otherwise been trodden when visiting the city considering that many of these workshops are located in more local areas of the city.
The HAND MADE is something that is becoming more and more unusual and rare in our modern world. It is both comforting and interesting to watch how some are still choosing to slow down and work through a product overseeing it from its beginning stages to the end result.

We make a selection of artisans to visit for each tour, depending upon interest and artisan availability, who do various traditional and local crafts. The crafts range from metal work, jewellery makers, tailors, paper working, leather working, print makers & Medieval art reproduction.
