Overview

Behind the façade of Santa Maria Novella lies a story most visitors never discover.
Join a local guide to explore the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella and the historic Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella, one of the world’s oldest pharmacies and perfume houses.
Inside the Basilica, discover Renaissance art, Gothic architecture, frescoes, chapels, sacred symbols, and the legacy of the Dominican friars. Then continue to the Officina, where medicinal herbs, aromatic plants, essences, and Florentine craftsmanship shaped a perfume tradition admired worldwide. What makes this tour different is the connection between the two places. Instead of visiting them separately, you’ll understand how Dominican medicine, herbal knowledge, Renaissance art, perfume, and Florentine beauty are part of the same story.
This is a great choice if you want to experience Florence beyond the Duomo and Uffizi, with a tour focused on art, history, perfume, hidden gems, and culture.
