Itinerary

Meet your guide at Piazza Santissima Annunziata

Your tour begins in this elegant Renaissance square, known for its arched porticos and the Foundling Hospital designed by Brunelleschi. You will meet your private expert here to discuss your interests before heading toward the city's most famous resident.

Marvel at David in the Accademia Gallery

Next, use pre-reserved tickets to enter the Accademia. This former 18th-century art school now houses Michelangelo’s David, a towering symbol of Florentine independence. Learn how the artist carved this masterpiece from a single, rejected block of marble.

Admire the grand Florence Duomo

Walk to the religious heart of the city to view the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. This Gothic landmark features a green, white, and pink marble façade. Your guide will explain the engineering genius behind the massive red-tiled dome that dominates the skyline.

Explore the statues of Piazza della Signoria

Then, enter the city's political hub, an open-air sculpture gallery fronting the fortress-like Palazzo Vecchio. You will see a replica of David and the Fountain of Neptune while hearing stories of public executions and Medici family triumphs that occurred in this very square.

Cross the historic Ponte Vecchio

Stroll across the oldest bridge in Florence, famously spared during World War II. See the glittering displays of traditional goldsmiths and jewelers who have occupied these overhanging shops since the 1500s. It is the perfect spot for a photo over the Arno River.

Enjoy a traditional Florentine lunch break

Once you reach the city center's charming alleys, it is time for a break. Your guide will recommend an authentic local spot where you can relax over handmade pasta or a panino. This is your time to recharge before the afternoon art session.

Discover masterpieces in the Uffizi Gallery

Finally, bypass the massive general admissions queues at Italy's premier art museum. Housed in a 16th-century administrative palace, the gallery contains the world's best collection of Renaissance art. Stand before Botticelli’s Birth of Venus and works by Leonardo da Vinci.

Your tour finishes inside the Uffizi Gallery

Your journey concludes among the corridors of the Uffizi. After the guided portion ends, you are free to stay inside and explore the remaining rooms at your leisure. Leave with a deep understanding of why Florence is considered the world's greatest art treasury.
