The guide was excellent. She showed a mastery of the subject and a very interesting way of exposing. The only detail is that on the tour we were accompanied by two families with children and the guide was more attentive than the parents themselves, this diverted the attention of the tour guide to the care of children. My opinion is that there should be a minimum age or a special tour for children.

Both guides Claudia Durante (Accademia) and Angela Russo (Uffizi) were very kind, articulate, and knew perfectly the important details about the venues. Will recommend 10/10

The morning guide, Paulina, was great at explaining the history of Florence, pointing out architectural features that developed for practical reasons. The afternoon guide was excellent in explaining symbolism and thematic concepts in the paintings we saw at the Uffizi gallery. Infused with humor and attentive care of our group, her guidance into the masterpieces was delivered well and effectively. She clearly has done considerable research!

Tour guides were both excellent, enthusiastic and knowledgeable

Best of the Renaissance Cradle

Although vast in its offerings, and the birthplace of a widespread artistic movement, Florence is quite compact. Go on a walking tour of the city and its historical center, covering all the must-see outdoor sights.

Admire the iconic Ponte Vecchio bridge where colorful jewelry stores line the cobbled street. Visit the leather market and rub the nose of Il Porcellino for good luck. Your expert guide will lead you around Piazza Signoria where you’ll hear the stories behind the beautiful sculptures and see the place where Michelangelo's David once stood.

Florence Cathedral

Take some time to visit the crown jewel of Florence, Il Duomo, from outside. Known for its huge dome visible from all over the city, Florence Cathedral is a sight to behold. Hear all about Brunelleschi’s feat in creating such a marvel and the challenges he faced along the way. Entry to the Duomo is free and you can visit independently if you wish. The guide will provide you with a full explanation of its interior and exterior.

Accademia Gallery

The Accademia Gallery is our last stop for one of Florence’s many show-stoppers. Skip the long lines here with a pre-reserved entry time and prepare to be amazed. Housed in a bright open space beneath a roof that had to be raised to accommodate him, is Michelangelo’s great sculptural masterpiece, ‘David’.

Before entering, your guide will help you admire him from every angle, explaining the techniques that Michelangelo used to make marble look as soft as butter. She will also take some time to explain his unfinished ‘Slaves’. Then, explore the museum yourself!

Uffizi Gallery

In keeping with our promise to see all of Florence in a day, the tour will take a break where you can roam about or grab a lunch on your own dime and pace. Then you will regroup, energized for the final leg of the day.

Skip-the-line hosted access at the Uffizi Gallery saves hours wasted in line to enter instantly. On your independent visit, navigate through the iconic works by Giotto, Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, Perugino, Michelangelo, Titian, and Vasari to name just a few.
