Refreshed after our relaxing stay in Tuscany, we were ready for our exploration of Florence.
After a short bus ride from Tuscany, we arrived in Florence, enjoyed a short hike through town to catch a local public bus to the town center, joined our local guide for a historic tour of old Florence, and then had the rest of the day to explore on our own until it was time to meet for the bus ride back to Tuscany. In fact, that particular tour structure -- meeting a local guide early in the day, spending a few hours walking and learning a ton of history, then having the balance of the day to explore on our own -- was often repeated throughout our tour, and was an excellent way to make the most of our time at each location. |
