The guides of Mercurio Tours
 
 
WHY THE NAME MERCURIO?
Our tours are based on interaction and discussion. The name Mercurio or Mercury, refers to the Greek god of communication.

Qualified experienced guides - small groups, intimate atmosphere - reserved tickets to avoid long lines.
   WHAT MAKES MERCURIO TOURS DIFFERENT?
  • Sustainable, quality tourism when visiting the city and its surroundings. We try to go off the beaten path whenever possible , and we prefer small groups to better cater to individual needs and interests.
  • Slow paced tours to give time to appreciate the little things. Nowadays there is never enough time, we're always on the run. It's time to slow down, observe, enjoy...
  • Our guides' enthusiasm and deep knowledge gives a unique insider's view of the city - no broken discs or memorized scripts! They are all professional and qualified – no last minute improvisations.
  • Advanced reserved tickets to avoid long lines.
  • Mercurio works with one of the friendliest and best tour operators in Florence: Solo Italia Tours.
  • Last but not least, Mercurio has contributed to the "Friends of the Uffizi" non profit Association and has provided anti-glare glass to masterpieces by painters such as Botticelli and Fra Angelico. By choosing a Mercurio tour, participants have helped sponsor this important project.
