What you'll see and do
Ponte Vecchio
Our first stop will be the visit to an off the beaten path goldsmith workshop. Here you observe the process of how a jewel is created, from the initial sketch to the different design phases including embossing, engraving and reinterpreting Florentine renaissance pieces into re-worked creations.
30 minutes here
Palazzo Pitti
Next we will visit one of the few workshops that can still make florentine mosaic. Every creation is a truly irreplicable, unique piece of art with a historic significance that can be found nowhere else but in Florence.
Pass by without stopping
Piazza Santo Spirito
The Santo Spirito district is where most of the local hand crafts are made and where the artisan workshops concentrate. We will explore a few artisans. We will head to a workshop specializing in hand decorated paper. Here you can find a variety of decorative paper-covered items, and stationery that are all made inside the shop. In the same area we can then learn about the artistry of etching. We also have the possibility to see how entirely hand made shoes are made.
60 minutes here
Santa Maria Novella
This last stop will take us on a scented, sensory path through the aromatic treasures of one of the world’s oldest apothecaries.

Why this scores 47
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Florentine Artisanal Path and Handmade Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does The Florentine Artisanal Path and Handmade Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $255 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does The Florentine Artisanal Path and Handmade Private Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.
Is The Florentine Artisanal Path and Handmade Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Florentine Artisanal Path and Handmade Private Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is The Florentine Artisanal Path and Handmade Private Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Florentine Artisanal Path and Handmade Private Tour?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Florentine Artisanal Path and Handmade Private Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici -by a storyteller, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class with Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Florence?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Florence?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in The Florentine Artisanal Path and Handmade Private Tour?
+

+

What languages is The Florentine Artisanal Path and Handmade Private Tour offered in?
+
