Overview

Florence's two most famous galleries draw long lines, but with this guided tour, you'll walk past the wait at both. Your expert guide leads you straight into the Accademia for an up-close look at Michelangelo's David and the unfinished Prisoners, then through Florence's historic centre to the Uffizi for a guided tour of the Renaissance's biggest hits.

Along the way, you'll pass the Duomo, walk down Via Calzaiuoli, and step into Piazza della Signoria before continuing to the Uffizi. Inside, your guide unpacks Botticelli's Birth of Venus and Primavera, Raphael's Madonna with the Goldfinch, and Michelangelo's Tondo Doni, connecting the artists, patrons, and ideas that shaped the Renaissance.

Pick the version of the day that fits you best: a one-hour Group Express focused purely on the Accademia and David, a full half-day group tour covering both galleries plus the historic centre, or a semi-private full tour capped at 9 guests for a more relaxed pace with your guide.

Activity itinerary

Piazza Della Santissima Annunziata

Meet your expert guide 15 minutes early at the designated meeting point just outside the Accademia Gallery. The exact meeting point is listed on your booking voucher.

Galleria dell'Accademia

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
With timed-entry tickets in hand, head through security and into the Accademia. Tune in as your guide shares fascinating stories about Michelangelo's David and the unfinished Prisoners. You'll get the full storey behind David's symbolism, scale, and place in Florentine identity.

Duomo - Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore

  • 20m
  • Admission ticket not included
Back outside, stroll over to Florence's most recognisable landmark for an exterior look at the Duomo, Brunelleschi's dome, the bell tower, and the Baptistery. Your guide explains how this complex powered the Renaissance and shaped the city skyline. (Florence Duomo exterior viewing is not included with the Group Express option.)

Piazza della Signoria

  • 20m
Continue along Via Calzaiuoli and into Piazza della Signoria, Florence's open-air sculpture gallery and political heart. Your guide points out the Palazzo Vecchio, the Loggia dei Lanzi, and the replica David standing where the original once did.

Gallerie Degli Uffizi

Your tour ends inside the gallery, so you can stay and explore at your own pace. (Uffizi Gallery is not included with the Group Express option.)
