The guided tour includes the Basilica of Saint Francis, where you will admire extraordinary frescoes by Giotto, Cimabue, Simone Martini and Pietro Lorenzetti, considered masterpieces of medieval Italian art.
After the guided visit, you will have free time to explore the historic centre, visit the Basilica of Saint Clare and the tomb of Carlo Acutis on your own, or simply relax in one of the city's charming squares.
Before returning to Florence, you will make a final stop at the Papal Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels, built around the Porziuncola, the small chapel where the Franciscan Order was founded.
