We had an amazing experience with City Wonders and our English speaking tour guide, Annette. She was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, sharing fascinating details about the history, art, and culture of the city. Her passion for the subject was evident, and she made the entire experience both educational and enjoyable. The highlight was, of course, seeing Michelangelo’s David. Annette brought the statue to life by explaining its artistic significance, the story behind its creation, and even pointing out details we would have missed on our own. Her expertise truly added depth to the experience. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city—it’s a must-do for art and history lovers! Thank you for making our visit unforgettable!

Witness the young Michelangelo's three-year journey to carve this iconic symbol of Renaissance beauty, a powerful testament to strength, courage, and the Florentine Republic's invincibility. Other unique artworks like Tree of Life by Pacino di Buonaguida are not to be missed.
A Florentine stroll
Explore the enchanting Medici district, home to the awe-inspiring palace, the ancient San Lorenzo Church, and the Medici Chapels, where the illustrious family found solace in their own monuments. Make your way to the Duomo Complex, where the Baptistery's ‘Gates of Paradise’, Brunelleschi's Dome, and Giotto's bell tower showcase Florence's architectural grandeur.
Stroll through medieval streets, once trodden by Dante and Beatrice, and admire the unique Church of Orsanmichele, adorned with statues representing medieval trading guilds. Experience the charm of the Straw Market, and don't forget to give the famous porcellino (pig) a nose rub for good luck.
Continue your journey across the romantic Ponte Vecchio, full of with sparkling jewelers, leading to the breathtaking Piazza Signoria. The majestic Palazzo Vecchio is truly to be marveled at, and its iconic Arnolfo tower, surrounded by an ‘open-air museum’ featuring the Fountain of Neptune, Michelangelo's David replica, and the Loggia dei Lanzi's ancient Roman statues.
