About

Explore the Cultural Heart of Florence

Begin your half-day Florence journey in the historic Medici neighbourhood. Your expert local guide will lead you past the storied San Lorenzo Church and the Medici Chapels, where the famous ruling family's legacy is carved in Renaissance marble.

Florence’s Monumental Landmarks

Wander only a short distance to encounter Florence’s renowned Duomo complex. Admire the Baptistery known for its golden Gates of Paradise, the awe-inspiring Cathedral with Brunelleschi's Dome and the striking Giotto Bell Tower towering above the historic cityscape. Each stop unveils Florence’s deep artistic and architectural heritage.

Continue your walk to the unique Church of Orsanmichele, a stunning example of Florentine Gothic design adorned with statues representing the medieval guilds. Nearby, stroll through the bustling Straw Market and pause at the legendary bronze "porcellino"—touch its nose for good luck.

Piazza Signoria – Florence’s Living Museum

Arrive at Piazza Signoria, regarded as one of the world’s most exquisite squares and the seat of Florentine political life. Here, marvel at the Fountain of Neptune, the masterpieces found in Loggia dei Lanzi like Cellini's Perseus and Giambologna’s Rape of the Sabines, and the monumental Palazzo Vecchio with its distinctive crenelated tower.

Flexible Free Time or Tuscan Dining

Following your morning tour, benefit from a two-hour break. Choose to wander independently and soak up Florence’s street life or select the lunch option to enjoy authentic Tuscan cuisine at a charming local restaurant in the city centre.

The Uffizi Gallery Experience

Rejoin your guide for direct entry into the Uffizi Gallery, home to one of the world’s richest collections of Renaissance art. Let masterpieces by Botticelli, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Giotto captivate you. Experience first-hand Botticelli’s celebrated Primavera and Birth of Venus, celebrated for their beauty and allegorical depth. View works by Artemisia Gentileschi like Judith Beheading Holofernes and learn their history from your art historian guide.

End your tour gazing out from the Uffizi Terrace for panoramic views of Florence’s skyline and its monuments.
