Florence Escorted Coach Tours and Holidays

Florence, the prestigious City of Art, the birthplace of the Italian language and the cradle of human civilisation. A city which has nurtured men of genius and arouses feelings of awe when visiting. The colony of Florence 'Florentia' the city of flowers, was founded in 59 BC by Julius Caesar but it wasn't till the 11th Century that Florence started to grow with the slow revival of the Mediterranean trade and the demand for cloth.

The River Arno proved to be perfect for washing cloth and fulling wool and the countryside had a surplus of labour. A banking network was devised to allow credit as the raw materials came from Flanders and England and the Florin, the city's gold currency, became the most widespread and stable currency in Europe giving birth to some of the richest families on the continent. The greatest movement in Florentine Culture, the Renaissance, was home for most of the important historical figures of those times, Botticelli, Machiavelli, Leonoardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael, all made their debut in Florence

Milestones tours to Florence offer the very best in escorted touring with a marvellous sightseeing tour of this prestigious city including visits the Duomo and Signoria Square.
