Experience the Italian Renaissance in the city of its birth: Florence!

#
Note: This event has already passed.

Join us as we tour the capital of the Tuscany region and the province of Florence! This city has a rich history as a center of trade and finance in medieval Europe and is home to numerous religious and republic revolutions. Florence is considered the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and attracts millions of tourists every year — you could be one of them!

What to Expect:

We'll arrive in Florence and immediately head off to the parade route for the "Magi Cavalcade" (Translated: The Kings Parade). This is a tremendous parade with over 500+ participants in traditional attire. It's a parade that honors the Three Wise Men, ending their travel through the city at a living nativity where they present gifts to Mary, Joseph and Jesus. This parade will be followed up with an optional three hour guided tour. After the tour you'll have free time to explore on your own before we return to Vicenza.
