2. Your first stop is the Uffizi Gallery, the former offices of the Medici Family. The Uffizi hold masterpieces by the likes of Michelangelo, Raphael, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Caravaggio, which decorated the walls of the Medici Family corridors. Opening to the public in 1765, it was officially turned into a museum in 1865. Inside your expert guide will show you masterpieces such as The Birth of Venus, one of the iconic depictions of the mythological goddess as she emerges from the sea on a shell. You will also see Michelangelo’s Doni Tondo, the result of a commission from a prominent Tuscan family, showing a portrait of the Holy Family with the Virgin Mary at the forefront. Though you could spend hours, if not days, in the Uffizi, your guide will show you the most important masterpieces from this impressive collection. After the Uffizi you will have time for a nice tuscan lunch. Your guide will be happy to make recommendations for local spots. Lunch is not included in this tour.

About Florence

Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, gathers masterpieces of art and architecture into a compact city of stone streets beside the Arno.

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.
