mercurio tours, florence: about us

Mercurio Tours - Guided tours of Florence, Chianti and Tuscany

       ABOUT US

 
We have been operating successfully since 1999. Our office is located less than 5 minutes walk from the Cathedral.

 


Mercurio Tours official guides' group
 
 
We chose "Mercurio" as our name because Mercurio was the god of communication and our tours are truly based on interaction and communication.
   WHAT MAKES MERCURIO TOURS DIFFERENT?
  • Mercurio promotes sustainable tourism and quality with small, intimate groups
  • Mercurio promotes a less invasive tourism, off the beaten track when possible, that caters to the individual.
  • Mercurio' guides are fluent in English and have passion for art and culture. They have many years of experience-especially in guiding small groups and individuals . Many are teachers: no recited lesons! They offer an insider's view of Florence and Tuscany that you'll never forget. 
  • Allof them are certified by the Tuscan Regional government.
  • Mercurio reserves tickets in advance to avoid long lines.
  • Mercurio works with one of the friendliest and best tour operators in Florence
  • Last but not least, Mercurio has donated funds to the "Friends of the Uffizi" Association, which supports the Gallery, to provide anti-glare glass to paintings by Botticelli and Fra Angelico. Our tour participants have contributed to this important project.
