We had a fabulous time on the walk. Our guide was so knowledgeable and took time to help us appreciate the art we saw. It made our trip to Florence even better than we thought possible.

Annette was warm. Friendly, and so well informed. She shared great information without toooooo much detail- just the right amount of information that really understand what was going on! She was lovely. I would definitely recommend this program to a friend!

My itinerary was changed 1 day prior to my arrival and couldn't do the second part of the tour. These things are unacceptable as i already planned other activities after the tour.

Everything about the tour was excellent. Things went very smoothly, and our guides were terrific -- knowledgeable, friendly, and in the case of our guide for the Academia, funny and very engaging. Our issues were beyond anyone's control, namely that Firenze in general and the Uffizi and Acadamia in particular, were in the throes of a tourism apocalypse. It was one of my most unpleasant experiences in a half century of traveling. The guided system helped a lot, easing our entry experiences and getting us to some of the most important works of art to see. Thank you for that. But for me, at least, these positives barely turned a nightmare into a very bad dream.

Your experience

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.
