Itinerary
Piazza di Santa Croce
In the company of a local guide you will learn something of the city’s history, especially during the Renaissance period. You will see first the outside of the Church of Santa Croce, the principal Franciscan church of Florence with its wonderful frescoes.
Ponte Vecchio
Then it is on to Piazza dei Peruzzi and the Bargello Palace. A short walk will bring you to the Porcellino market and here your guide will tell you all about the Ponte Vecchio, Florence’s oldest bridge dating back to the 14th century.
Piazza della Signoria
As you meander through Florence’s streets and piazzas you come to the political centre of the city, Piazza della Signoria. On one side is the Uffizi Gallery once the home of the Great Duke’s of Florence and on the opposite side of the piazza the imposing Palazzo Vecchio, former seat of the Florentine government.
Piazza Del Duomo
Then it is into the Piazza Duomo to cast your eyes upon the wonderful Cathedral with its perfectly preserved and unique marble engravings. Towering above you is Brunelleschi’s Dome; symbol of Renaissance Florence and famous for its daring design and even more challenging realization. The Piazza Duomo is filled with interesting things to see but we will ensure you don’t miss Giotto’s bell tower, an example of 1300 architecture and the splendid Porta del Paradiso of the Baptistery.
Galleria dell'Accademia
Finally you'll reach the Accademia Gallery to see Michelangelo’s David!

The beauties of Florence
We had a great time with our guide Roberta. She showed us the essentials and the small doors. We learned a lot and it was very entertaining. To do!
J
Terrific tour!
Glenda was terrific! She easily accommodated our family with disparate interest levels and everyone had a great time. She was knowledgable, had great stories, and knew when to keep moving on.
E
Marco was amazing and Florence was beautiful!!!
Our tour guide, Marco, was phenomenal!!! So knowledgeable and entertaining. We were traveling with my in-laws and he was incredibly gracious about taking breaks and making sure he wasn’t walking too fast. He imparted his knowledge of Florentine history, art and architecture as well as his passion for his hometown. Highly recommend this tour and Marco!!!!
B
The best of Florence with Marco!
Marco was absolutely amazing! So knowledgeable and funny. He allowed us options to spend more time in areas we were more interested in and was so kind answering all of our questions. We Highly recommend him, and will ensure we have him again for our next trip to Florence!

Art and history brought to life.
This tour company has wonderful communication. Our guide, Leonardo, was personable, extremely knowledgeable in the art and history of Florence, and his love for this city was infectious. His detailed explanation of the correlation between art and history brought Florence to life! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing "The" David, applying Leonardo's vast knowledge of Michelangelo. I cannot recommend this tour and Leonardo enough.

Walking Tour with Leonardo can’t be beat
Leonardo was the single best tour guide we have ever had. His English is superb, but his knowledge of Fiorence, Art history and the life and work of Michelangelo is amazing
J
Excellent tour!
This tour was so much more than my husband or I expected! Having a private walking tour of Florence in addition to the museum was priceless! Our guide, Martina, was so informative and personable. It felt like we were friends seeing the city together! This was also the perfect length of time for a tour (about 3 hours).
