  • "From the ancient cobblestones of Florence, to the authentic cuisine and scenery of greater Tuscany, Francesco, our guide, showed it all with great passion! We weren't just tourists, we were timetravelers immersed in a rich tapestry of Italian history."

  • “AION is the only true bespoke tour service you’ll want to experience if you ever find yourself in Tuscany. We only had one full day in Florence and AION was able to fulfill our request..."

Our Philosophy

It would take several lifetimes to truly know Florence and its infinite nuances. 

Through our thoughtfully curated tours, we are committed to guiding you along the same road of discovery that we began travelling when we founded L’Arte Nascosta nearly half a decade ago: a winding path that makes its way through the depths of the art, history, craft and culture that have inspired so many for so long. 

To reserve a booking – an excursion, a retreat, or a bespoke experience – with AION is to join us as we seek to plumb the depths of this, our home base: Florence.  Whether this is your first or your thousandth visit, we look forward to welcoming you on an authentically immersive and relaxing journey through the birthplace of the Renaissance as seen through our eyes.
