I spent a wonderful morning with lovely Maria walking through local Florence streets and visiting unique artisan shops. The artisans were friendly, welcoming and generous in sharing their time and skills with me. Their work was so beautiful hence I made some special purchases. This was the best tour I have ever been on. I will never forget this marvellous experience! Thank you Maria! I can highly recommend Maria's tour to anyone interested seeing Florence from the beauty of an artisan perspective.
