À propos de cette activité

Step across the Arno river and into the hidden, dusty, and fiercely proud workshops of the Oltrarno district. This is not the Florence of crowded museums and marble statues; this is the living, breathing, sweating Florence. On this immersive sensory journey, you will uncover the secret world of the Oltrarnisti—the master artisans who are keeping Renaissance-era craftsmanship alive against the crushing tide of mass tourism. From the rhythmic clacking of 18th-century wooden looms to the sharp scent of raw leather and ox gall, you will experience the tactile reality of true mastery. Join us to discover why true luxury is measured in time, patience, and the calloused hands of the makers. - A 2.9 km self-guided tour with 6 stops over 98 min - Ideal for travelers interested in Art, Design & Aesthetics and Social Fabric & Everyday Life - Immersively told in a podcast style by experts and locals - Matching audio content, AI guide and navigation through the app
