I have been on many guided tours around multiple cities but my guide was amazing this time. He was so knowledgeable, nice and genuinely excited to showcase the city and it's amazing art. I learnt so much from him. These things can be borning sometimes even if you love history but my guide made it enjoyable and shared information in such a relatable way that I could not help but be engaged for the full tour. I got to hear the history behind what seemed to be just a normal sign and had I done a walling tour alone I surely would have missed out on its beauty and understanding. Would highly recommend 👌Annie

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.
