HIGHLIGHTS

Florence is packed full of world-famous sites and our Best of Florence Tour is designed to let you see them all (and learn the stories behind them) in a single morning.

We’ll start by skipping the line at the Accademia Gallery to see Michelangelo’s David, as well as his partially-finished Slaves; for a unique insight into how he turned jagged rock into the beautiful, lifelike figures of his sculptures. You’ll also hear stories of Leonardo Da Vinci and the powerful Medici family whose patronage made Florence one of the hot beds of the Renaissance art world.

Next we’ll visit Florence Duomo to gasp at Brunelleschi’s famous dome from the outside. We'll hear the story of how he had to re-learn lost architectural knowledge in order to design and build it. We’ll also stop off at the Baptistery to admire the stunning golden Gates of Paradise, and learn the story of the cut-throat competition that produced them.

After the Duomo you’ll take to the streets to see some of Florence’s iconic landmarks including the titanic Palazzo Vecchio, the statues of the Orsanmichele church, the Pizza della Repubblica and Piazza della Signoria, the Porcellino pig (rub his nose for good luck!) and of course, Italy’s most picturesque bridge, the Ponte Vecchio.

As you walk the sites will come to life with the stories told by your expert, English speaking guide. In an intimate group of 15 people or fewer you will have plenty of time to ask questions and learn about the incredible history of this unforgettable city from the ground up.

Great tour!
Angelo gave a great tour! The level of detail he gave about David and the other Michelangelo statues at the Accedemia gave great insight into the artist. You could tell that Angelo was passionate about the subject matter.
