Description

If you’re looking for an alternative tour, you’re in the right place :)

Here’s not traditional guiding nor crowds. Here is a Gatekeeper. Someone who holds the keys to a city silenced by history: the Florence of fratricidal conspiracies, impossible loves, heresy trials, and streets stained with blue blood and violet gold. A Tuscan Game of Thrones where reality once again surpasses fiction.

By his side, you’ll learn to read the city in a completely different way. Hidden symbols carved into walls and statues will begin to speak: astrology, sorcery, black magic… coded messages left behind by medieval Florentines for those who knew how to decipher them. A gateway into a lost city and its secrets.

As you wander through 13th-century churches, towers, and narrow alleyways, you’ll discover the brutality of historic Florentine football, bizarre superstitions and remedies, and forbidden romances that rival Romeo and Juliet. Inquisitors, mercenaries, prostitutes, knights… the most human side of this extraordinary city.

Join Florence’s first and only theatrical free walking tour. An immersive experience where the city itself becomes a living stage.

The Gatekeeper is waiting for you.
