  • Food and wine lovers who want to combine walking with a real farm lunch
  • Travellers who want to see Florence from above, not from the streets

Why hike above Florence?

Most visitors explore Florence on foot at street level. The hills of Fiesole sit directly above the city and offer a completely different perspective — the entire skyline, the Duomo, and the Arno valley open up in front of you. Combined with a real farm lunch and wine, this tour turns a half day into a full Tuscan experience without leaving the Florence area.

The hills of Fiesole are less than 30 minutes from the city centre but feel entirely removed from the tourist crowds. The trails pass through olive groves, vineyards and open countryside with views that most visitors never see.

The secret bench stop — a quiet viewpoint positioned directly in front of the Duomo — is the kind of moment that does not exist on any guided walking tour in the city below.
