I have attended several lectures of Dr. Jennie Hirsh, and they are always excellent lectures. Very informative, easy to understand, one of the best ways way to spend 90minutes.

Excellent presentation on a fascinating subject.

Jennie was concise, thorough and enjoyable

Always enjoy the informative and well researched survey webinars of Dr. Hirsh. She always whets my interest to learn more with the thoroughness shebputs into the material

4 delightful sessions learning about the key quarters of Florence. Super overviews of what to see and explore in each area. Very knowledgeable presenter.

Kate mixes videos, maps, still images and personal photos from her years of experience living and exploring in multiple neighborhoods in Florence. Kate brings Florence to life and the resources are excellent. With Kate’s input, we are well prepare to travel to Florence next year!

Kate as always did a super job of sharing information I didn't know along with re-visitng areas of this neighborhood I have seen-- informative and fun. Her videos are terrific!

Livia Galante is a highly effective and engaging speaker and tour guide. I have experienced a number of her Zoom lectures through Context travel, and hope someday to have an in-person guided tour of Rome, Ostia, or these Etruscan cities of Cerveteri, Tarquinius, and Vulci. Regarding this lecture, Livia did a wonderful job of providing a balanced mix of how to access, what to emphasize, and why the ruins, tumuli, museums, and archaeological findings are important. I particularly appreciated the Etruscan timeline and its corresponding cultural and funerary and artistic and literary influences (such as the Homeric references and Egyptian and Turkish artifacts). I strongly recommend her for travelers with a desire for a deeper dive into Italy. Brava!

I have wanted to visit this place for years but it has not been possible. This is the first walk thru by an expert that does not patronise the watchers . Kate’s clear and well paced calm narration with wonderful accents in both English and Italian enabled me to see and appreciate details I would have missed.. I am now anticipating the next session with pleasure.

Livia Galante presents scholarship in an interesting and accessible way. Both the big picture themes and small details of her talks are thoughtful and informative. She brings the ancient world to life.

Livia always does the most fabulous job. I will miss her presentations and all the information I have gleaned from them. Ciao cara

As always, Livia's lecture was very thorough and very professionally presented. She puts so much effort and passion into preparing her presentations. I learned a lot and she has inspired me to want to learn more about the Etruscans and visit this area of Italy.

Guest did not leave comment

This was a fantastic whirlwind visit to three Etruscan cities with an extremely knowledgeable guide who told us so many interesting things.

A lovely conversation of being - or wanting to be Italian. I'll keep my French heritage but I love Italy and most especially the Roman architecture, the middle ages and the reneassance. A beautiful Romantic historical country!

My Review: Florence Food Tour with Context Travel

D uring my trip to Florence in 2007, the food did not leave much of an impression on me. I remember having great breakfasts in the morning, ones that consisted of good espresso and something like a croissant. And I recall a sumptuous bowl of Tuscan stew, but beyond that nothing that stuck out.

That was 100% my fault. So sorry, Florence. I was wrong. Florence IS for foodies!

Like we did in Kyoto , Mr. Misadventures and I requested a custom Context Travel tour, Florence for Foodies. And as usual, the Context Travel team and Adrienne, our guide, delivered an exceptional, food-focused experience.

At the end of our tour, what I came to understand was that the most important aspect of Tuscan food is simplicity. Everything is fresh, no need to label anything organic, all food is organic here! People shop for one day or two and visit small shops focused on a single product or category of products.

We met Adrienne in the Piazza della Repubblica right after we had enjoyed a delicious espresso and I drooled at the sweets display.

We began our food pilgrimage at Procacci , a beautiful truffle shop belonging to the Antinori wine family. We sampled (and then ordered more!) of their house specialty, Panini tartufati, a small sandwich with a special truffle cream. Just inhaling the air in this shop is pure heaven and the locals arrive in the late afternoon for a glass of prosecco and Panini tartufate as an apertivo.

We walked around with Adrienne pointing out a bit of history about some of the buildings (mostly owned by wine families in the area) and little unique elements such as the original “drive-thru” windows. The noblemen would drive up to the window for a glass of wine and then hit the road.

We stopped at a local bakery to sample a few Tuscan specialties, both sweet and savory. Most bread, except some focaccia, doesn’t have salt. The salt comes from the pecorino, prosciutto, and salami and is not needed in the bread.

The reason? Centuries before, the Pope charged a steep tax on salt, so the merchants evoked “Me ne frego” (“I don’t give a damn!”) and they did without. And they still do today.

Snacking on sweets called for a coffee to chase the sugar, we visited Café Giacosa, the café where Negroni cocktails were invented. A few years back the café was purchased by Roberto Cavalli, he tried to rename the café, but the Florentines protested as it had such a history and the name was reverted. We tried a lovely budino made with something like a patisserie cream mixed with rice.

What I loved about this spot (and all the places we went to were full of locals). At Giacosa, there were businessmen standing around eating their bowls of pasta, going back for seconds and quickly drinking down their espressos before heading back to work.

During our five days in Florence, we visited Café Giacosa quite a few times!

Mr. Misadventures and I use/eat a lot of olive oil, so Adrienne took us to the store where she buys hers, La Bottega dell’Olio, or as I like to call it, heaven! Different types of olive oil are used with different dishes, whether it is to dip into, put on top of pasta, or marinade, it is not one size fits all. We tasted several olive oils from regions all over Italy as well as balsamic vinegar, I never wanted to leave.

Last stop was a grocery store. More like the traiteurs I am familiar with in France. But it’s a store you can sit down and eat in as well.

Which we did. Of course, we did!

With pecorino, parmesan, prosciutto and salami toscano. Oh and wine.

The Grana Market is family-run run and the store that Adrienne goes to for its parmesan, after sampling some with balsamic vinegar drizzled on top, I understood why.

Just when I thought I could not eat anymore, we were done.

In reality, we spent three-plus hours on a fantastic food journey through the street of Florence with an exceptional guide, something I have come to expect from Context Travel .

• Look for fares using sites like  Skyscanner or Expedia.com . 
• For France (Paris) coming from the West Coast , I typically fly Air France or United. From the East Coast , I typically fly Air France or Delta.
• If you travel frequently, consider investing in a  Priority Pass  for airport lounge access. Not only will you have a spot to relax before your flight and charge your devices, but you can eat and drink for free (without paying crazy airport prices!)
• I use  Expedia.com , Booking.com , and  Hotels.com  to find lodging. Always check the reviews on TripAdvisor before booking!
• If you want to stay in a rental, look at  VRBO  and  Plum Guide .
• For rental car agencies, try  Rentalcars.com . When traveling in Europe, I use  AutoEurope  to make reservations. They find the best rates and allow you to compare different car rental agencies. I typically book with Sixt .
• For transportation from the CDG airport to anywhere within Paris, consider pre-booking with Get Transfer . It is one way to be stress-free and you can request an English-speaking driver.
• I book tours with companies like Viator and GetYourGuide . Both have a wide variety of activities for every travel style. Other companies to look at include Tours by Locals and Withlocals.
• If you’re visiting a city with multiple attractions, be sure to check out a discount pass, such as CityPASS or Go City .
• Context Travel is another option and they offer more educational-based activities.
• If you are looking to buy tickets to attractions, check out Tiquet .
• One of my favorite things to do is to get photos taken of me while on vacation. Flytographer is a great option with photographers all over the world.
• It’s important to have some type of travel insurance to cover any unforeseen accidents, illnesses, threats, or cancellations. I always travel with insurance and would recommend SafetyWing ,  SquareMouth or Travelex Insurance are good options.
• Should you have any trouble with flight delays to the extent you feel you deserve compensation, I encourage you to check out and use AirHelp . I used them and for 1 claim I got compensated (transparency: a 2nd claim did not, but I was still glad I tried!).
• Check out Le Shop for my digital travel planners and Paris planner !

Dante's Florence (3 Hours)

Florence, Italy

• Culture, History & Arts
• Sightseeing

Dante Alighieri was born in Florence in 1265 A.D. He is widely accepted as the first author who wrote in the everyday vernacular that soon evolved into modern Italian, as well as the creation of Italy's most enduring literary work. The Divine Comedy, a poem comprised of three separate volumes, details a journey in the afterlife through L'inferno (Hell), Purgatorio (Purgatory) and Paradiso (Paradise), and is as much a historical chronicle as it is a literary achievement. Written entirely after Dante's 1301 exile from the city of Florence, The Divine Comedy is a window into nearly every aspect of medieval history, theology, politics, art and culture; in particular as it relates to Florence.

During the course of this three-hour walk, we will follow Dante's path through the city, exploring the places and characters that inspired his masterpiece. Thus, this seminar is designed to explore both the life of Dante Alighieri as a historical figure and The Divine Comedy as a work of fiction where Florence as a city plays a central role. We usually begin at the Baptistery, where Dante himself was baptized and where he later took inspiration for writing his L'inferno from the Biblical mosaics depicting the Last Judgment. We will move from here to Dante's neighborhood, deep in the heart of medieval Florence, where we will find Dante's home and his local church where he was to encounter Beatrice, his beloved muse and spiritual guide for whom he wrote The Divine Comedy.

Along the way, we will see where Dante's enemies lived and we will explore the innumerable locations tucked away; corners, side streets and piazzas where many of Dante's characters came to life. We will also visit Palazzo della Lana, important during Dante's time, as the location of the Wool Guild, but what today serves as The Dante Society meeting place and the Dante Library where scholars from all over the world come to continue to study his over 700 year-old poem.

Our docent for this walk will be a scholar of Italian literature and will be able to craft a dialogue in which we can explore the recurring themes which are reflected in the work of Dante and how these themes have remained in the Florentine psyche.
