Vous verrez la statue originale de David et de nombreuses peintures et instruments de musique précieux.
Le cœur de Florence se trouve sur la Piazza del Duomo, ancrée par sa superbe cathédrale. Les célèbres portes en bronze du baptistère sont connues sous le nom de « Porte du Paradis », tandis que la cathédrale elle-même possède ce qui fut, à son achèvement dans les années 1400, la plus grande coupole en maçonnerie jamais construite.
Orsanmichele illustre parfaitement la fusion du commerce et de la foi à Florence. Cette structure monumentale était initialement un ancien marché aux grains couvert et est aujourd'hui célébrée pour les superbes statues de la Renaissance qui ornent son extérieur, transformant un lieu de commerce en une galerie de chefs-d'œuvre.
La Piazza della Repubblica est le véritable et ancien cœur de Florence. Il marque le site d'origine du Forum romain et le centre géographique de la ville, une fonction encore marquée aujourd'hui par la Colonna dell'Abbondanza (colonne de l'Abondance).
Arrêt à la Fontana del Porcellino dans le Mercato Nuovo. Les visiteurs testent leur chance en frottant le museau de la statue de sanglier et en laissant une pièce tomber à travers la grille. Si la pièce tombe à l'eau, elle est censée garantir la bonne fortune et un retour en toute sécurité dans la ville.
Point central de la vie civile, la Piazza della Signoria est une galerie à ciel ouvert incontournable. Il présente une réplique de David aux côtés de l'immense Palazzo Vecchio, tandis que la Loggia dei Lanzi présente des chefs-d'œuvre de la Renaissance comme le Persée avec la tête de Méduse de Cellini, sculptures qui ont servi de déclarations politiques puissantes pour les dirigeants de la ville.
En regardant depuis les Offices, vous verrez une véritable merveille d'architecture : le couloir Vasari. Cette passerelle privée et exclusive a été construite pour le duc Cosme Ier de Médicis, lui permettant ainsi qu'à sa famille de se déplacer sans être vus entre leurs bureaux gouvernementaux au Palazzo Vecchio et leur maison au Palazzo Pitti. Votre point de vue au deuxième étage des Offices vous place juste au début de sa route cachée à travers le fleuve Arno.
Depuis les fenêtres du couloir du deuxième étage des Offices, vous pourrez profiter d'une vue imprenable et privilégiée sur le Ponte Vecchio, le "Vieux Pont". Ce pont médiéval en pierre, construit en 1345, est célèbre pour les boutiques construites sur toute sa longueur. À l'origine abritant des bouchers puants, un décret du grand-duc Ferdinand Ier de Médicis en 1593 les remplaça par des orfèvres et des bijoutiers pour améliorer le décorum de la région. Cette tradition perdure, faisant du pont un point de repère emblématique et scintillant sur le fleuve Arno.
Ce majestueux palais en forme de U a été conçu par Giorgio Vasari pour Cosme Ier de Médicis, le premier grand-duc de Toscane. Il a été construit à partir de 1560 pour abriter les "bureaux" administratifs (uffizi) de Florence. La vaste collection d’art amassée par la puissante famille Médicis, avec ses sculptures anciennes et ses chefs-d’œuvre de la Renaissance, a transformé ce centre administratif en l’un des premiers et des plus beaux musées d’art au monde. Cet incroyable héritage a permis de protéger et de préserver pour toujours les œuvres emblématiques de maîtres comme Botticelli, Léonard et Michel-Ange.

Our tour guide, Costanza was incredible! She had the most insight into the history of the Akademia exhibits as well as the Uffizi. Sometimes humorous but always insightful pointing out aspects that we would never had gotten on our own, especially from an artist point of view as my husband is a lifelong artist and appreciated every detail! Also the back story of the places along the walking tour she made sure we were made aware of and encouraged us to go back and visit on our own which we did. Taking special care of”as mamma” because the weather in August was stifling but she paid attention to all. Communication with the Viatar people was a bit more challenging as while using the gps to find our meeting point I was unable to log in to revisit the address. That improvement could be made easier. The place where we met was a comfortable waiting area. Overall I would definitely choose this tour again.
Our guide, Margaret, was fantastic! Very personable and knowledgeable. She kept a great pace and knew the rhythms of the museums and the city streets, including all the places to pause and rest, which was valuable in 100° weather. I learned so much from her about the famous David statue as well as about the history of the Medicis and the ways that Renaissance philosophy found itself in the specific sculptures and paintings she chose as examples. I loved my experience and would highly recommend it. And I especially thank Margaret for being such a warm and skilled teacher.
Our guide Oksana was excellent. Knowledgeable and passionate about the art and sculptures. There is so much to see that the tour of Uffizi should be on its own. The Duomo was a whistle-stop in front and didn't go in. Perhaps Duomo and Academia could be coupled together with entry to duomo. Might already be an option but wasn't presented to us.
Sylvie was a great tour guide. Both locations were packed but she was able to help us through and we still saw all the main pieces. Very interesting!
Our guide was superb and provided excellent insight behind both the history and art of the Uffizzi and Academia!
This was a very expensive tour for a limited time spent in Accademia. You will see David but only one floor of the building. I won’t call out my tour guide by name bc it was clearly an off day for them and they have great reviews here otherwise, but several folks in my group noticed their negative attitude and that they didn’t want to be there. It improved over the tour but started the tour with an unpleasant vibe. The Uffizi was spectacular and the guide was definitely knowledgeable but I do not feel we truly got our money’s worth.
Dear Chante,Thank you sincerely for your thoughtful feedback, and for your kindness in not naming the guide. We’re glad to hear the Uffizi was spectacular and that your guide’s knowledge came through, and I’m truly sorry the tour started with a vibe that didn’t meet the standard we hold.I completely understand your concern about value for money, and I’d like to share some context for our mutual clients worldwide:On pricing: The cost of art tours in Florence has risen significantly this year because state museum ticket prices increased by 45%. Current official rates are: Uffizi Gallery €35 and Accademia Gallery €24 per person, just for entry. On top of that, as a licensed operator we also carry the costs of local taxes, office rent, licensed guides, reservations, insurance, and staff salaries. We run these tours with a very small margin because our focus is on quality and timed entry access, not on big markups.With those ticket costs alone at €59 per person, the overall tour price is now very high. That’s why even a 1-2 hour visit to the Accademia, where you see David and one main floor, can feel limited compared to the total cost.On the experience: We’re sorry the guide’s energy started low. We have spoken with the team to remind everyone that the first 10 minutes set the tone for the whole tour, regardless of personal off days. We’re glad it improved, and we appreciate you acknowledging the guide’s knowledge and great reviews overall.We truly want every guest to feel they got their money’s worth. If you’re open to it, we’d love to welcome you back on a combined Uffizi & Accademia 4-hour tour so you can experience both museums fully with one guide at a smoother pace.Thank you again for your honesty. Feedback like yours helps us keep improving for all travelers visiting Florence.Warm regards,
