Florencetown was the first tour operator to produce a wide range of experiential services, such as signature cooking classes in its own cooking school, tours of Florence by bicycle and Vespa, and visits with exclusive access to the Vasari Corridor from inside the Uffizi Gallery. Towns of Italy is the natural evolution of a successful model that aims to replicate it on a national scale to make a difference in the eyes of a discerning clientele. Today Towns of Italy Group includes: regular day tours in Milan, Venice, Florence, Rome, Pompeii, Palermo and Taormina with local offices in Florence, Rome, Pompeii and Messina; proprietary cooking schools in Milan, Florence, Paelermo and soon Rome; the leisure and individual group division; the events division; and Arno Travel, DMC luxury specialist since 1969.
