Full-day private tour of Florence with timed entry to the Accademia and the Uffizi, plus the Duomo, Piazza della Signoria and the Ponte Vecchio
This full-day private tour covers the essentials of Florence with a guide dedicated to your group, with time to move at an easy pace and adapt the stops to each traveler's interests. The meeting point is Piazza della Santissima Annunziata, a Renaissance square lined with porticoes and home to the Spedale degli Innocenti, designed by Brunelleschi.
The first visit is to the Galleria dell'Accademia, with a timed entry ticket, to see Michelangelo's David and learn how it was carved from a discarded block of marble. The route then continues on foot to the Duomo to see the green, white and pink marble façade of Santa Maria del Fiore, the Battistero and Brunelleschi's dome from the outside.
The walk continues through Piazza della Signoria, in front of Palazzo Vecchio, with the replica of the David and the Fontana del Nettuno, and crosses the Ponte Vecchio, the city's oldest bridge, known for its jewelry and goldsmith shops. Midday there is a lunch break, with the guide's recommendations for local places to eat; lunch is not included.
In the afternoon, the visit ends at the Galleria degli Uffizi, also with a timed entry ticket, in front of works such as Botticelli's The Birth of Venus and pieces by Leonardo da Vinci. The guided tour finishes inside the museum, and you can stay to explore the remaining rooms on your own.
