Overview

Florence's two most famous galleries draw big crowds, but on this guided tour, you'll use pre-reserved entry tickets at both. Your expert guide leads you straight into the Accademia for an up-close look at Michelangelo's David and the unfinished Prisoners, then through Florence's historic center to the Uffizi for a guided tour of the Renaissance's biggest hits.

Along the way, you'll pass the Duomo, walk down Via Calzaiuoli, and step into Piazza della Signoria before continuing to the Uffizi. Inside, your guide unpacks Botticelli's Birth of Venus and Primavera, Raphael's Madonna with the Goldfinch, and Michelangelo's Tondo Doni, connecting the artists, patrons, and ideas that shaped the Renaissance.

Pick the version of the day that fits you best: a one-hour Group Express focused purely on the Accademia and David, a full half-day group tour covering both galleries plus the historic center, or a semi-private full tour capped at 9 guests for a more relaxed pace with your guide.
