Florence Tour
Your private driver will pick you up from your location in Florence and bring you to the meeting with your private guide to start your Florence and Pisa Tour.
Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Botticelli, Fra Angelico, Giotto, Donatello, Brunelleschi, Galilei, Cellini, Dante, Machiavelli, and Savonarola are only a few names that made the history of Florence, one of the best places to visit in Italy.
Piazzale Michelangelo and Pitti Palace
Piazzale Michelangelo is a neoclassical terrace dedicated to the famous artist, overlooking Florence and its river. Your private guide will make an introduction to the history of Florence, strictly related to its art masterpieces. The 14th-century Palazzo Pitti houses great art collections like the Palatine Gallery, one of Florence’s most visited galleries. The richly decorated rooms are a masterpiece themselves. Raphael, Titian, Correggio, Rubens, Pietro da Cortona, and other Italian and European masters of the Renaissance and Baroque periods are the museum’s core. The Pitty Palace is located in a marvelous architectural park, Boboli Gardens-
NOTE: Upon request and availability, we can book the Uffizi or the Accademia, instead of the Pitti Palace, which is, anyway, highly recommended.
On Monday, all Florence museums are closed, and our local guide will bring you to Palazzo Vecchio.
The 14th-century fortress-like palace, once the residence of the Medici family, is now the municipality’s seat. Inside, you will admire the incredibly decorated museum’s rooms, with works by Michelangelo Buonarroti, Donatello, and Verrocchio.
Ponte Vecchio Bridge
Florence has its romantic face in the spectacular views over the Arno river; what you must-see in Florence is the picturesque Ponte Vecchio bridge. Antique and jewelry shops are in abundance.
Piazza della Signoria and Piazza del Duomo (from outside)
The main square in Florence is Piazza Della Signoria, among Florence’s top attractions. Here, beside Neptune Fountain, you will also see the magnificent Loggia dei Lanzi, a 14th-century open-air gallery enriched with outstanding original statues. In front of the imposing Palazzo Vecchio, there is a copy of the world-famous Michelangelo’s David. The tour continues with Piazza del Duomo, where Giotto Bell’s Tower, together with the unique Florence Cathedral Dome, is the city’s Symbol. The octagonal Baptistery and his beautiful bronze doors by Ghiberti is the masterpiece completing the beauty of this harmonic complex.
