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 by Italy’s unmatched Renaissance masters, including the inimitable Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Titian, Giotto, and Caravaggio. You’ll see world-famous masterpieces such as Botticelli’s Birth of Venus and Leonardo’s Annunciation, along with sculptures and paintings that showcase the power and splendor of Renaissance Florence. Your expert guide will provide insights throughout the visit and will be happy to answer any questions you may have during the tour.
Next, you’ll continue to one of Florence’s most iconic landmarks: Ponte Vecchio, the city’s oldest bridge. From here, you can enjoy panoramic views of the hills surrounding Florence—an ideal spot for memorable photos. Your guide will share the bridge’s fascinating history, including how the construction of the Vasari Corridor dramatically transformed the botteghe (shops) that line the bridge. When it’s time for lunch (at your own expense), your guide can reserve a table at a local trattoria or recommend a traditional Tuscan meal.
After lunch, your guide will meet you to continue your tour. You’ll fully appreciate the expertise of your local, licensed guide as you stroll through the ancient streets of Florence—a romantic Renaissance city filled with charming piazzas and a remarkable history. The many monuments along your route will help tell the story of this extraordinary place.
After that, you’ll make your way to the magnificent Piazza del Duomo. At its center stands the stunning Cathedral, adorned with beautiful and unique marble decorations. Towering above it all is Brunelleschi’s Dome, a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture and an enduring symbol of Florence.
Finally, your tour will take you to see Michelangelo’s most famous sculpture: David. Take your time to walk around it and admire it from every angle—this is the best way to truly appreciate Michelangelo’s genius.
