WHAT MAKES THIS TOUR UNIQUE?
 
Most Florence Tours covering main sights of the city do not include a visit inside the famous Duomo, but we do!
 
 
No visit to Italy is complete without a Gelato. We have handpicked a Gelateria known for its delicious italian ice cream.
 
 
Our tour groups are small and intimate and will never exceed 25 people per tour guide.
 

Discover the historic center of Florence on this 3 hour Florence walking tour including the Ponte Vecchio, the imposing Duomo, elegant Uffizi Square, the renowned leather market, and the Accademia Gallery with Michelangelo’s David. Stroll along the timeless streets lined with chief architecture of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, admire Florence in its continued glory and discover its hidden gems, all in a single morning!

Our Florence tours begin on the Ponte Vecchio Bridge where you will be introduced to the fascinating history of Florence. Visit the heart of the Renaissance Civic and Political Center, famous for its ancient statues, glorious fountains, the famed Uffizi Gallery and the Medieval Palazzo Vecchio. Our path continues as we head toward the Religious Center, stopping at the Church of Orsanmichele, where you will admire ingenious statues by famed artists such as Donatello, Ghiberti and Verrocchio.

Rub the nose of the legendary boar, “il Porcellino” to ensure a return to Florence and visit Piazza della Repubblica, once the Ancient Forum, now a popular meeting place for famous writers, artists and locals. Gaze at the Baptistry Doors by Ghiberti, coined the “Gates of Paradise” by Michelangelo. Enter the Duomo, the astounding Florence Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, from where Brunelleschi’s dome dominates the skyline of Florence and never ceases to impress.

We’ll even pause along the way to enjoy a delicious homemade Italian gelato! The Florence tour concludes with Skip the Line entrance to the Accademia Gallery (your ticket is included!) where you will marvel at Michelangelo’s statues of the Slaves and his magnificent 17 foot marble masterpiece, the David.
