Description
In this unique experience, we will begin our virtual walk from the San Lorenzo neighbourhood, once the Medici neighbourhood, where we will see the church and the Medici Palace.
Then, we will proceed to the religious centre where the two most important religious buildings are: the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and the Baptistery. And, we will walk through the medieval area to see the typical medieval houses: the tower.
Our walk will continue to Piazza della Signoria, a real open-air museum with its beautiful palace that once was the palace of the government and Medici residence during 1500. And, then we will cross the Uffizi courtyard to reach the river and admire the most spectacular bridge ever built: Ponte Vecchio (The old bridge).
Have you ever had a plan to visit Florence in person and couldn't make it, or planning to visit in future?? Then, this is the perfect opportunity to know what Florence is? Why families lived in towers in the middle ages? Who was supposed to make the facade for the church of San Lorenzo?
I am really excited to explore along with you the very heart of Florence! See you soon!!

Valentina Longo was born and raised in Florence. She has always liked to travel, so she decided to learn languages; she travelled a lot and lived abroad to improve her language skills. Florence is a place she has always wanted to live in. As a kid, she was always fascinated by the beauty and history of the city. She wanted to combine my passion for travelling and my love for Florence, so she decided to become a tour guide. Being a traveller myself, she knows what people expect when they are abroad.

Federica Bustreo obtained her degree in art history from the University of Florence in 2007. After specializing in medieval art history and having spent some time abroad, she returned to Florence. Her wish was to breathe the glory of an unrepeatable and unrivalled past every day, in a city with a truly liveable scale, easy to cross on foot and by bike and to create her own intimate relationship with the streets of Florence. She became a tour guide in 2010 for the purpose of transmitting all these aspects, which are not immediately visible to short-term visitors.
