Welcome to the first edition of The Original & Best Walking Tours Monthly Newsletter!

January-February 2006

Welcome to the first edition of Artviva’s Bi-Monthly Newsletter!

We are pleased to announce the publication of our first newsletter for the new 2006 season. The New Year has brought us many changes, the first of which is our new location in Via Sassetti. Our new office will not only be the central starting point for all of our tours but it will also showcase the work of local artists and artisans in Florence and the surrounding areas.

January and February in Italy is a time of beginnings and we are now gearing up for the 2006 season with many new and improved services, tours and products soon to be available to you!

Our monthly newsletter is just one of the many additions we have made over these past few months and we look forward to bringing you information regarding our tours and special services in Florence, Rome and Venice. Look for our forthcoming columns highlighting events in Florence and beyond, mouth-watering reviews of Florence’s most famous restaurants as well as spotlights featuring local artisans and unique shops with wonderfully handcrafted goods.

We hope you enjoy this first edition of our newsletter and we look forward to helping you make the best of your holidays in Italy.

Warmest regards,

The Staff at Walking Tours of Florence
