We have called in all of our very best contacts to create an amazing week of experiences for both you and your son or daughter. There is now too much information available on the internet and on social media. It is hard to decipher the difference between the various offers. And in fact, it is difficult even to decide where to go, with so many destinations trying to attract our attention.

In Italy, one of the biggest problems is that not everyone who has a website is providing an authorized or legal service. So what does quality mean to us?

First and foremost, Parent Week is underwritten by Florence and Beyond Srls, of which I am the owner. Florence and Beyond is a Travel Agency that is registered with the Regional Tuscan Tourism Office. This ensures that we have all of the qualifications necessary to plan and execute your tour.

Second and almost as important, is our personal philosophy about the kind of experience that we want to provide to our customers.

As a long term Florence local, quality is not about the most expensive experience. Quality is value for money. Quality is friendly and reliable service. Quality is going the extra mile. Quality is providing tourists with the same experience as a local. We want you to feel welcome in Florence and we want you to go home with memories that will last a lifetime.

Of course we cannot be experts at everything, but when we entrust someone to provide our customers with an experience, we expect their service quality to be the same, if not even higher than ours!
