Itinerary
Meet your guide in Piazza della Signoria, Political centre of the city. From there you'll walk to the near Uffizi gallery for your morning visit to the museum.
Inside you’ll admire some of the greatest works of Italy's unrivalled Renaissance masters, including the imitable Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Titian, Giotto, and Caravaggio. You'll see world-renowned works including Botticelli's Birth of Venus and Leonardo's Annunciation, as well as sculptures and paintings that demonstrate the power and strength of Renaissance Florence. Your expert guide can offer insight and answer any questions during the tour.
Then it is on to one of Florence’s most famous landmarks: the Ponte Vecchio, the city’s oldest bridge. The bridge offers panoramic views of the hills that surround Florence, perfect for a photo. Your guide will recount the bridge’s rich history, including how the Vasari Corridor radically changed the botteghe (shops) that line the bridge. When it’s time for lunch (at your own expense), your guide can book a local trattoria or suggest a typical Tuscan lunch.
After lunch, your guide will meet you to continue your tour. The knowledge of your local, licensed guide is best appreciated as you walk through the ancient streets of Florence, a romantic Renaissance city, with enchanting piazzas and a rich history. The numerous monuments that line your route will tell the story of this marvellous place.
After that, you’ll make your way to the magnificant Piazza Duomo. The stunning Cathedral sits at its centre, with beautiful, unique marble engravings. And, and towering above everything is Brunelleschi’s Dome, a wonder of Renaissance architecture and an enduring symbol of Renaissance Florence.
Finally your tour will take you to visit Michelangelo’s most famous sculpture: David. Be sure to look at it from every angle as you walk around it, as this is the best way to appreciate Michelangelo’s genius.

About Florence
Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, gathers masterpieces of art and architecture into a compact city of stone streets beside the Arno.
The Duomo, with Brunelleschi's great red-brick dome, Giotto's bell tower and the Baptistery's gilded doors, marks the centre of town. A few streets away, Piazza della Signoria and the Palazzo Vecchio face a loggia full of sculpture, and the Uffizi Gallery holds Botticelli, Leonardo and Raphael. Michelangelo's David stands in the Galleria dell'Accademia.
