Best of Florence Private Tour with Accademia
Overview
Our Florence tours take you on a journey through the heart of Renaissance Florence, exploring the galleries and piazzas of the city centre. As you gaze up at Brunelleschi’s magnificent Duomo and encounter Michelangelo’s David at the Accademia, you’ll discover why Florence has enchanted its visitors over the centuries. On your private tour, you’ll walk through some of the most beautiful parts of the city, crossing the ancient Ponte Vecchio and strolling through Piazza della Signoria, where you'll learn how art and politics were always closely intertwined in the Renaissance city. Your expert guide will also show you some of Florence’s greatest artistic treasures, including a set of doors so beautiful that they came to be known as the “Gates of Paradise”.
In Florence you'll find masterpieces not just in galleries and churches but also outdoors, in the piazzas and streets. Explore the city with us.
