A Walk with a historian Count: private tour in Florence

Step into history with the Stroll with a Count private tour. One of the most exclusive cultural experiences offered by Artviva, the city’s first boutique tour company. With over 20 years of expertise in organizing high-level private tours, Artviva offers discerning travelers the unique opportunity to explore Florence alongside an Italian Count, a renowned historian and published author.

Florence is the cradle of the Renaissance, but beyond its famous monuments it also holds stories of intrigue, political genius and intellectual innovation. This tour brings those tales to life, guided by a Florentine nobleman whose family heritage is intertwined with the city’s own history. The private itinerary unfolds through the UNESCO-listed historic center: among palaces, squares and hidden alleys, your guide will illuminate the world of the Medici, Renaissance artists and philosophers who shaped Western civilization. You will hear anecdotes about Machiavelli’s political strategies, discover hidden symbols and gain insights that only a scholar deeply rooted in Florence can share.

What makes this experience truly unique is the chance to engage directly with the Count. This is not a pre-set tour, but an elegant and stimulating conversation in which guests are encouraged to ask questions, explore themes and delve into Florence’s complex past. Designed for those seeking exclusivity, authenticity and intellectual enrichment, the Stroll with a Count-Historian offers an unforgettable perspective—perfect for history enthusiasts, art lovers and curious travelers alike.

Our guides are chosen not only for their expertise but also for their ability to inspire and engage. With this tour we go further, offering privileged access to Florence through the voice of its own nobility. Choosing this experience means not just visiting Florence, but becoming part of its story, guided by a custodian of its heritage.
