Your tour begins in central Florence

Start with reserved entry inside the Accademia Gallery
Then head straight to the world-famous Accademia Gallery. Use pre-reserved tickets to pass the general admissions lines and go through security. Marvel at Michelangelo's David up close while learning how the master sculptor carved this giant marble masterpiece.
Admire the monumental Florence Duomo
Next, walk into Piazza del Duomo to examine the spectacular Gothic façade of Santa Maria del Fiore. You will study Brunelleschi's famous dome and gaze at the Ghiberti bronze Baptistery Doors nearby.
Pass a historic local gelato shop
Stroll past a beloved local gelateria tucked along the city streets. Your guide will share recommendations on authentic Italian gelato techniques, and you’ll have time to purchase a refreshing treat as you walk.
Walk through historic Piazza della Signoria
Step into the civic heart of Renaissance Florence, surrounded by open-air statues at the Loggia dei Lanzi. Explore the history of Palazzo Vecchio and the legendary Medici family dynasty.
Explore the traditional leather market and fountain
Stroll past the vibrant leather market where artisans have practiced their trade for 500 years. Stop by the iconic Bronze Boar fountain to learn about local Florentine folklore traditions.
Visit 14th-century Orsanmichele Church
Pause outside this remarkable medieval structure that served as a grain market before turning into a church. Admire its exterior niches decorated by famous Renaissance sculptors.
Stroll medieval streets in Dante's district
Walk through narrow alleyways preserved since the 1300s to see the exterior of Dante's former home. Stop at Santa Margherita Church, the supposed meeting place of Dante and Beatrice.

Fantastic walking tour and experience! Our guide was knowledgeable and kept the tour to our pace. She explained and answered many questions we had and truly seemed to enjoy guiding us through the city. We were able to get recommendations afterwards to other places we wanted to see.

Guido was an awesome guide. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Florence and it showed through the tour. It was really hot and he made it a point to help keep us in the shade. He recommended an wonderful restaurant for lunch and suggested we visit the Medici Chapels after lunch which was an amazing stop. This was a great way to learn about the city of Florence and its history.
I wish I could do this in every city I visited!
