Culture shock rating
Worried we’re going to shock your senses? Relax! We believe part of the fun of travel is immersing yourself in the destination and its culture, meeting the people, and learning what makes the place tick. We’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The cultural shock rating ranks how different the experience is from most Western cultures. But no matter the level, don’t worry, you’ll have a local, in-the-know guide with you every step of the way.
Low
Consider these tours your 101 intro to a place. Transportation might be private or a very comfortable public option, and the activities are usually visits to iconic sites and locations that are familiar to most Western cultures – but that will still give you fantastic insight into a destination.
Medium
Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether that’s on a packed public bus or in a local market off the tourist trail. There might be a few language barriers or unfamiliar cultural customs, and you’ll get an experience different from what you're used to at home.
High
You're out there in the global community! We’re going to take you down streets you’d rarely explore on your own, introduce you to local customs and languages, and take you for a ride in whatever transport is available. Get ready to take it as it comes, whatever comes. There might be a shock, but oh man, it’s worth it.
Physical rating
Worried our tours are too tough? Relax! From leisurely strolls to muscle-burning treks, we’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The physical grading gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour.
Low
Slow and steady is all you need here. These tours have very limited physical activity, such as walking relatively flat streets, sites, or markets, and climbing in and out of the transport provided.
Medium
Not too hard, not too soft, these tours are just right! You can expect a bit of physical activity, but nothing overly challenging – perhaps walking up and down hills, riding a bike for up to 30 kilometers along mostly flat terrain, or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.
High
Get ready for a workout! These tours are our most challenging and involve intense walking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, or bike riding. You could be making steep climbs by foot or pedal, or working your core in the water. We recommend you have a good level of fitness to join this tour.

Once your masterpiece is fresh out of the oven, it’s time to dig in and enjoy some pizza with a local craft beer brewed just 20 minutes from Florence.

You’ll meet your pizzaiuolo, a trained pizza maker, at a family run pizzeria in the heart of Florence, just minutes from the Ponte Vecchio and Uffizi Gallery. Trust us, this place is a true local gem! Milena, the owner, is a passionate foodie who comes from a family of chefs, cooks and restauranteurs. As soon as we arrive, you’ll feel her warmth and passion for welcoming guests.
Milena only uses the best seasonal ingredients at her shop, and all of the toppings used are supplied by local farmers. Her finocchiona, a Tuscan salami made with pepper and fennel seeds, is one of the best in town!
This local pizzeria is where you’ll have the chance to enjoy a hands-on experience making your own pizza, including learning to form the dough into a circular shape, adding the toppings you prefer, and putting your pizza into the oven.
The base of this typical pizza is mozzarella made with buffalo or cows milk from the south of the Amalfi Coast in a town called Paestum (known for the best mozzarella in the world), tomatos grown around the foothills of Vesuvius, and basil from Naples.
Once your pizza is in the oven, it will take just minutes to cook thanks to the high temperature oven used. These special ovens are made in Genova from a natural stone material, and are designed to ensure the perfect temperature for your pizza.
And if all that pizza wasn’t enough, you’ll be pairing your pie with a local craft beer brewed just 20 minutes from Florence in the foothills of Chianti. Tuscan craft beer is made with ingredients from the region, including spelt, barley and malt. It’s typical in Italy to enjoy pizza with beer (but we have Italian soda on hand for kids or non-drinkers).
At the end of the tour, bellies full of pizza and heads full of pizza-making knowledge, feel free to ask your guide for recommendations on what else to see, do (and eat) in Florence.
