Tourist attraction
Ponte Vecchio
The Ponte Vecchio is one of the most famous bridges in Florence, and when you visit, you'll walk across this iconic bridge full of history, medieval buildings, and sparkling jewelry shops. The bridge consists of three arches and was built in 1345 by Taddeo Gaddi, replacing older versions from Roman times. Long ago, butcher shops lined the bridge, but the Medici family replaced all the shops with wooden shutters, goldsmiths, and jewelers to clean up the area.
As you explore, look up to see the Vasari Corridor, a secret walkway the Medici used to move between Palazzo Vecchio and Palazzo Pitti. In World War II, it was the only bridge the Nazis didn’t destroy. In the middle, you’ll find a statue of Benvenuto Cellini, where you can leave a love lock like many tourists do—another reason to experience the charm of the Ponte Vecchio for yourself.
Visit Ponte Vecchio to walk through history, enjoy the views, and create your special moment in Florence!

It serves not only as a place of worship but also as a monumental tribute to Italy's most illustrious figures. Spanning over 12,000 square meters, Santa Croce is a treasure trove of art, culture, and history, offering a captivating journey through centuries of Florentine and Renaissance heritage. With its stunning frescoes and the final resting places of legends like Michelangelo and Galileo, Santa Croce offers an unforgettable journey through art and history. This unique hub where spirituality, beauty, and memory intertwine is a must-visit destination for travelers seeking to immerse themselves in the soul of Italy.
Tourist sight
Piazza San Marco
Piazza San Marco, or St. Mark’s Square, is the main public square in Venice, Italy, and one of the most famous in the world. When you visit, you’ll see landmarks like St. Mark’s Basilica, the Doge’s Palace, the Bell Tower, and the Clock Tower. Napoleon called it “the drawing room of Europe,” and as you walk through the square, you’ll feel the rich history of the Venetian Republic all around you.
You can explore museums, admire golden mosaics, spot the winged lion, and enjoy the open space where people gather. During acqua alta (high tides), the San Marco square often floods, but raised walkways help you get around. Don’t miss the Piazzetta di San Marco, which leads to the Grand Canal and two tall granite columns that mark an important piece of Venetian history.

Jon and Victoria were two amazing teachers and chefs. We all got to work with both of our hands. Freshly made pasta was much better than store bought! 10/10 , would recommend to anyone coming to Florence.

Be right on time, because they won't let you in early and you'll have to wait on the side of the road. The cooking experience was fun, the chef spoke English with an Italian accent. We got to enjoy pizza with generous toppings we added ourselves, gelato, and unlimited wine.

Noemí was our instructor and she did a fantastic job. The class was fun and relaxed, and the food was really good but it felt like a long wait to eat since we got up very early to go to the market and cooked four courses before we got to eat anything. One piece of constructive criticism would be to have a sign at the meet up spot for people to know where to find you. We had to ask around before finding the correct group.

Did a day trip to Pisa, Siena, and San Gimignano — and wow, Tuscany really knows how to show off. 🌻✨
Pisa was all about the iconic Leaning Tower moment. Even if you’ve seen it in photos a thousand times, seeing it in person still hits different. 📸
Siena surprised me the most — such a beautiful medieval city with so much character. Walking through its narrow streets felt like stepping back in time. The cathedral? Stunning.
And San Gimignano… easily the highlight. Those towers, the view, the vibe — it’s like a fairytale hilltop town frozen in the most magical way. Plus, the gelato? Chef’s kiss. 🍨
If you’re exploring Tuscany, this trio is a must. Each place has its own charm, and together they make a perfect, unforgettable day. ❤️🇮🇹

Big museum. Be prepared to spend at least 1.5 hours (minimum). Really worth a visit when in Florence. Make sure to download the entire audioguide beforehand as the data signal is spotty inside the museum and they didn’t really have free wifi or it wasn’t working.

The Tuscany day trip was amazing! The itinerary was well planned, covering Siena, San Gimignano, and Pisa all in one day. The guide was knowledgeable, the views were beautiful, and the lunch was authentic and delicious. Highly recommended!

The line to enter the church was very long, and the Italian tour guide had a very strong accent. If you're a native Mandarin speaker, you'll need to pay close attention to understand the explanations 😇. However, being able to skip the long line in the Italian heat and enter directly is worth the price of admission! I highly recommend this tour.
