As you walk through the collections, your guide will explain artists' life during the Renaissance, the politics and fashions that shaped the masterpieces you are about to see, and the patrons and benefactors who empowered these great works of art. Feast your eyes on classic works of Italy's spectacular Renaissance, by artists as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Titian, Giotto, and Caravaggio.Your expert guide will be open for questions. You'll see masterworks including Botticelli's Birth of Venus and Leonardo's Annunciation, as well as iconic sculptures and paintings that encapsulate the power and might of Renaissance Florence. Your guide will say farewell after 2 hours but you'll be free to continue exploring independently until the museum closes at 6:50pm.

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.
Top-ranked sights in Florence: Piazza della Signoria, Uffizi Galleries (Gallerie degli Uffizi), Florence Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore).
