Itinerary
Meet your private guide at Piazza San Marco before heading into the Accademia Gallery, tickets already arranged. Stand before Michelangelo's David, carved from a single block of marble once abandoned by two other sculptors, along with several of Michelangelo's unfinished works nearby.
Walk past the Duomo and into Piazza della Signoria, where a replica of David has stood in the original statue's exact spot since 1910. Your guide explains why the real David left the square in 1873, and what it meant for Florence to have its most famous symbol on public display for centuries.
Step inside the Bargello, once Florence’s medieval prison and now home to some of the city’s greatest sculptures. See Donatello’s David, the first freestanding nude bronze since antiquity, then let your guide reveal a fourth David most visitors never learn exists.

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).
