WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Galleria dell'Accademia
First, explore the city, including the historic Academia. This gallery is home to one of the world’s most iconic statues, David, by Michelangelo. Your guide will discuss the artistic mastermind behind this giant nude statue and his other 16th century works on display in the museum.
2. Piazza del Duomo
After the Galleria dell’Accademia you will explore the Piazza del Duomo, located in the heart of Florence. The square is one of the most visited places the city and in Europe!
3. Duomo - Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore
In the Piazza del Duomo you will discover all about the Cathedral of Florence and its beautiful Dome which were designed by Brunelleschi in the XV century. During the tour however, you will not go inside the Dome but you will learn all about its fascinating history whilst observing it from the outside.
4. Battistero di San Giovanni
You will also see the Baptistery of the city, a religious building in Florence and one of the oldest buildings in the city. It is renowned for its three sets of bronze doors, which are one of the finest examples of renaissance art. *Other landmarks located in the Piazza del Duomo are the Loggia del Bigallo, a late Gothic building, the Opera del Duomo Museum, a museum containing many of the original works of art created for the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, the Arcivescoville and Canoncici’s palace, all located in the west zone of the square called Piazza San Giovanni.
5. Via dei Calzaiuoli
Next, you will walk along what is known as Via dei Calzaiuoli, a wide and long pedestrian street connecting the Piazza del Duomo with the Piazza della Signoria. It is probably one of the busiest streets in the city, lined with elegant boutiques and fancy restaurants.
6. Piazza della Repubblica
After this you will visit the Piazza della Repubblica, a public square that marks the ancient Florence. The square was completely re-designed in the XIX century and during the tour you will learn all about the changes done in the city during the period.
7. Piazza della Signoria
Afterwards, you will visit the Piazza della Signoria, the political square of Florence. The square is full of many original statues, such as the first public fountain of Florence, the Neptune which was done by Ammannati, or the amazing Perseus done by Cellini in the XVI century. There is also replica of David which was placed to show people where he stood before the statue stood before it was moved inside the Accademia.
8. Palazzo Vecchio
The main attraction you will discover is the Palazzo Vecchio, the city’s townhall. It is considered the main symbol of civil power in Florence. The original building construction began in 1299 above the ruins of the destroyed Uberti Ghibelline towers and is attributed to Arnolfo di Cambio.
9. Fontana del Porcellino
Just before finishing your tour, you will touch the nose of the “Porcellino”, a fountain of a wild board, an act considered to bring you good luck!
10. Ponte Vecchio
Your tour will come to an end at Ponte Vecchio, the main bridge of the city and the first built in Florence. It is the only bridge to have survived WW2.
11. Arno River
Your tour will come to an end at Ponte Vecchio, the main bridge of the city and the first built in Florence. It is the only bridge to have survived WW2.
12. Gallerie Degli Uffizi
After a break for lunch, we move inside to the Uffizi, Italy’s most visited museum. Designed as a building for the offices – or uffizi – of the Florentine magistrates, the structure grew to house the stunning collection of art amassed by the wealthy Medici family. Overlooking the Arno River, the gallery is as picturesque as the many paintings hanging on its walls. You’ll learn about its turbulent history including a mafia car bomb and severe flooding that threatened the artwork. The Uffizi has undergone extensive modernization through the early 21st century, making it a world-class museum. More than 100 rooms highlighting the best of Italian art from names like Titian and Caravaggio. Discover these Renaissance works and the artists behind them, like Raphael’s “Self Portrait.” See the most famous paintings like Botticelli’s “Primavera” or his iconic “Birth of Venus,” a work that has become a cultural reference over the past few hundred years. This tour ensures you will leave Florence having experienced the best it has to offer.

Elizabetta was very knowledgeable about everything and was very accommodating to what I specifically wanted to see. She was able to get Galleria to change my daughter’s ticket to the next day as she couldn’t participate due to illness. Very sweet and genuine person.

I gave the tour a five, but this is probably only true, if you like fine art. I liked to seeing the city and the architecture more than the art gallery, although some aspects of that were still quite impressive. Our tour guide was excellent.

Elena was amazing!!! She shared her knowledge and love for Florence with such enthusiasm!!! We loved every minute of this tour!! Seeing David in person was amazing but Elena made it even better by really going in depth to address the details we may have overlooked....His stance being ready to battle yet fear in his eyes. We stopped at a small cafe for sandwiches and they were the best we had on our whole trip!!. We learned SO MUCH on this tour and cannot recommend it enough!!! Than you Elena!!!!

Giacomo was wonderful! He chose the most important items for us to see. He is a history and architecture major so he was able to explain the significance of many items and the reoccurring themes. His english was impeccable! Giacomo gave us many suggestions of things to do and places to eat! Hopefully he will take us up on the offer to stay with us in San Diego!
