There were places on the itinerary that we did not go to at all and the majority of the places listed for the walking tour we didn't even go into to see, we just walked by and the guide told us the name of the place. The description is very misleading and made me think we would learn and see more than we actually did.

Both halves of the tour had great guides. The meeting places were easy to find. Skipping the line for the museum helped. I wish the first rep had explained the facts about the second meet-up and the fact that our guide did not accompany us. Also, the ticket did not include a time for the second meet-up. Our first guide did explain it when we asked her, at the end of the museum tour. Grazie!

Your experience

This tour with an expert local guide covers the highlights of Florence’s historic and artistic epicenter.

Timeless masterpieces at Accademia

Involve yourself in the splendors of the Accademia Gallery, where Michelangelo's masterpiece, the David, stands tall alongside other captivating works like I Prigioni and San Matteo. 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. Venture 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 marvel at 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, adorned with sparkling jewelers, leading to the breathtaking Piazza Signoria. Marvel at the majestic Palazzo Vecchio 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! Florence's treasures await, leaving you breathless at every turn.
