Program details

Meet your guide directly at your accommodation and enjoy this enticing tour through the best known treasures of the historic centre of the city. You will start from the heart of Florence itself: Piazza della Signoria, the old and current political centre of Florence, a veritable open-air museum. Here rises the Palazzo della Signoria or Palazzo Vecchio with the replica of the David Statue by Michelangelo and, flanking the piazza, the Loggia dei Lanzi with world-renowned statues such as Benvenuto Cellini’s Perseus and the Rape of the Sabines by Giambologna.
Walk through the colonnade of the Uffizi Gallery one of the most important museums in the world to get to the Ponte Vecchio, the oldest and even the most picturesque bridge in Florence, known for its tiny artisan workshops and boutique jewellery stores. Here is hidden one of the big secrets of Florence: the stunning Vasari Corridor, an elevated private passage built by the Medici family to connect Palazzo Vecchio to Pitti Palace.
In the Dantesque District you will admire the House of Dante before arriving to the breath-taking Duomo Square with the impressive Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Discover the history and curiosities of the construction of the one of Italy's largest Gothic style churches, Giotto’s Bell Tower and the world renowned Brunelleschi’s Cupola. At the end of the tour you will admire the Baptistery, built over a Roman temple to Mars, and now the oldest building in Florence.
