this tour allows you to stay in the birthplace of the Italian rennaissance as well as discovering the celebrated wines that makes Tuscany such a sought-after holiday destination amongst wine lovers, walk in the footsteps of Dan Brown’s Inferno protagonist, Robert Langdon on a fully immersive and fascinating tour of the city. After settling into your chosen hotel on day one, we would be pleased to recommend a restaurant and reserve you a table for dinner if required
On day two, meet your English-speaking specialist guide for the ultimate Inferno experience! 
As part of a small group, your charismatic guide will entertain you along the length of an intruiging path of mind-blowing details, anecdotes and clue-filled history that will reveal all of the most important sights and locations that professor Robert Langdon visited in Dan Brown’s dark masterpiece. The three hour walking tour will introduce you to Dante and his Divine Comedy; focusing in particular on Botticelli’s painting entitled Inferno and the tour will also include an in-depth description of the connection between the painting, Dante and the history of the Divine Comedy. Also included will be a visit to the Baptistery, the Paradise Gates and the Duomo, where you will be enlightened by the symbols and codes described in the book.
The highlight of the tour will be at Palazzo Vecchio, Florence’s Town Hall, where faith and science entwine with breathtaking revelations. Your guide will lead the way through the beautiful Salone dei 500 and the secret passages of the Duke of Athens. 
This unique building was described by Dan Brown as, “a giant chess piece that has become an inimitable symbol of Florence.” At Palazzo Vecchio, admire the Hall of Geographical Maps, the Capriate, the balconies and Dante’s famous death Mask. The tour will conclude with a traditional Italian Espresso or Gelato, as preferred.
In the afternoon, we will arrange a tutored tasting session of four wines with local with olive oil and Bruschette with tomatoes in the city centre and in the evening, an unforgettable six course dinner with wines, water and coffee will be served in intimate gastronomic restaurant in a unique dining location- the city’s oldest tower.
