If you're planning on finding a villa with internet in Florence so you can go continue to go about some aspects of your normal life while on holidays, you might also be worried that a Tuscan holiday could have adverse effects on your fitness levels and/or physique. It is rather hard to say no to all that delicious food, after all! In order to enjoy that great city while still fitting in time for your regular workouts, why not try something a little different instead of just hitting the nearest gym? The Florence Run tour is just the thing for this, bringing together exercise, exploration of the city with a guide and Tuscan food...what more could you ask for?
For the early-risers, the go-getters and the fitness freaks of the world who also happen to have a love for culture, exploration and travel, this is the perfect meeting of two worlds. Just leave your villa in the morning, dressed and ready for a normal run in a setting that's far from your normal run. You will meet with a guide who will then take only a very small group of just a few people on a guided jog around Florence. As the groups are so small, each person will get all the attention they need and the itinerary can be adjusted to suit your own preferences. In fact, maybe you and your party might all like to go together and experience this special outing as one! No two tours are the same so it truly will be a unique experience.
Tour guides are local but speak English and they will point out attractions and notable sights as you pass, as well as be able to give you insider insights and recommendations. Over the course of the hour and a half jog, they'll introduce you to the city and show you parts that other tours often overlook. You will avoid the busy streets and touristy areas and see a different side to Florence. Done at a moderate pace, you'll be able to take in the history, architecture, art and information and chat with your guide, while enjoying your morning workout like never before. Once you're done sweating for the morning, you'll be brought to a pasticceria that only locals know about, and that is a bit of a hidden gem, to enjoy a well-deserved Tuscan breakfast.
For the active and fit people of the world, and the early-risers, there really is no better way to see Florence.
