The most exciting way to see Florence and the Chianti region from the air is on a hot-air balloon ride tour over the Chianti hills!
"The hot air balloon is the romantic dream of a time when inventions were not necessarily meant for anything, but were scales of the imagination." (Rosario Battiato)

Live an incredible experience, the magic of the Ballooning in Tuscany, discover the Chianti hills from another perspective.

A unique panorama as you only could see in a postcard. In this case you will get to enjoy Chianti from this marvellous optic- the mosaic of cypresses and olives from an aerial perspective.

Chianti from the sky- just seize this opportunity!

Uffizi Gallery Guided Tour:

This museum in Florence is the most visited art gallery in Italy.

The important artistic heritage in the Uffizi is because of the legacy that the family of Medici created for the city of Florence.

This important Florentine dynasty gave freely all the works of art of great value to the city, with the rule that they cannot be sold or to leave town for any reason.

With the time, the artistic heritage in the Uffizi museum was increasing, thanks to bequests donated to the city.

Some of the masterpieces of the Uffizi presented today also came from other structures and museums, which over time were abandoned or became less suited to keep important works of art.

Here it is hosted the Venus and the Spring by Sandro Botticelli, the Bacchus and the Medusa by Caravaggio, the Announciation by Leonardo Da Vinci, may paintings by Raphael, The Venus of Urbino by Titian and many other artworks.

The tombs of these great characters are located right here, in Santa Croce. They rest in peace in large monumental tombs in the central nave of the Basilica.

To contribute to the fame of this Basilica there is also much more: the cenotaph of Dante Alighieri, or his funeral monument, the wonderful sepulcher of Vittorio Alfieri, poet tombeur de femmes, to whom Antonio Canova sculpted one of the most impressive tombs of the Gallery of the Great Italians.

Esoteric Florence: private tour for lovers of the Occult

A nice original three-hour tour, to calmly examine the esoteric symbols hidden in the great monuments and also in the secret folds of the city.

Florence and the occult: alchemical symbols that have their roots in the centuries of this city's history.

Both the great personalities and the people belonging to the common people have always relied on the occult, when the logic of the facts seemed to lack the evidence of reason.
Here, alongside the strict religiosity prevailing in the Middle Ages, in the Renaissance and even during the counter-reformation of the seventeenth century, there is a need to invoke esotericism and often necromancy as well.
In the religious field there are symbols of the facades of Santa Croce and Santa Maria Novella, but also the palindrome of the Baptistery of Florence.

We will go to dig into the fabulous story of Pazzino dei Pazzi, an eleventh-century crusader knight and of the three splinters of flint coming from the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem, splinters that on Easter day are used to set fire to the Brindellone during the Explosion of the Cart in Florence. .

We will reconstruct the death from arsenic of Pico della Mirandola in 1494, a profound intellectual of the circle of Lorenzo the Magnificent, and that of Agnolo Poliziano, poet of the Medici court, who was poisoned in the same year as Pico della Mirandola. The two intellectuals rest together in the church of San Marco in Florence.
