• Via Guelfa, 12r - Please arrive at our air-conditioned office 15 minutes before the activity begins. We will check you in, gather the group, and proceed to the first location of the tour, the Accademia Gallery.
• Galleria dell’Accademia - Discover the original statue of David, along with numerous valuable paintings and musical instruments.
• Piazza del Duomo - The heart of Florence is found in the Piazza del Duomo, highlighted by its magnificent cathedral. The baptistery’s renowned bronze doors are called the “Gate of Paradise,” and the cathedral itself features what was the largest masonry dome ever constructed in the 1400s.
• Church and Museum of Orsanmichele - Orsanmichele beautifully demonstrates the blend of commerce and faith in Florence. Initially a covered ancient grain market, it is now renowned for the exquisite Renaissance statues that embellish its exterior, transforming a trading place into a gallery of masterpieces.
• Piazza della Repubblica - Piazza della Repubblica is the true, ancient heart of Florence. It marks the original site of the Roman Forum and the city’s geographical center, a role still signified today by the Colonna dell’Abbondanza (Column of Abundance).
• Fontana del Porcellino - Visit the Fontana del Porcellino in the Mercato Nuovo. Visitors try their luck by rubbing the snout of the wild boar statue and dropping a coin through the grate. If the coin passes through, it is believed to ensure good fortune and a safe return to the city.
• Piazza della Signoria - A central hub of civic life, Piazza della Signoria is an essential open-air gallery. It features a replica of David alongside the grand Palazzo Vecchio, while the Loggia dei Lanzi displays Renaissance masterpieces like Cellini’s Perseus with the Head of Medusa, sculptures that served as powerful political symbols for the city’s leaders.
• Corridoio Vasariano - From the Uffizi, observe a true architectural marvel: the Vasari Corridor. This exclusive, private passage was constructed for Duke Cosimo I de’ Medici, allowing him and his family to move unseen between their government offices in Palazzo Vecchio and their residence in the Palazzo Pitti. Your viewpoint on the second floor of the Uffizi places you at the start of its concealed route across the Arno River.
• Ponte Vecchio - From the Uffizi’s second-floor corridor windows, enjoy a breathtaking, privileged view of the Ponte Vecchio, the “Old Bridge.” This medieval stone bridge, built in 1345, is famous for the shops lining its length. Originally home to pungent butchers, a decree by Grand Duke Ferdinando I de’ Medici in 1593 replaced them with goldsmiths and jewelers to enhance the area’s decorum. This tradition continues, making the bridge a sparkling, iconic landmark on the Arno River.
• Gallerie Degli Uffizi - This grand, U-shaped palace was designed by Giorgio Vasari for Cosimo I de’ Medici, the first Grand Duke of Tuscany. Construction began in 1560 to house the administrative “offices” (uffizi) of Florence.

The extensive art collection gathered by the influential Medici family, featuring ancient sculptures and Renaissance masterpieces, transformed this administrative center into one of the world’s first and finest art museums. This remarkable legacy ensured that iconic works by masters like Botticelli, Leonardo, and Michelangelo were preserved and protected for the public forever.
