Florence David, Piazza del Duomo & Uffizi Small-Group Guided Tour - Pre-Booked Accademia & Uffizi Entry with Audio Headset

See the original David at the Galleria dell'Accademia

Meet the guide holding a "Walks In Europe" sign at the statue of Manfredo Fanti in Piazza San Marco and head to the Galleria dell'Accademia. Enter with a pre-booked ticket and spend about an hour in front of Michelangelo's original David, learning how it was made, its artistic details and its importance to Florence. Carved from a single block of marble in 1501–1504 and standing over 5 m tall, David was moved to this gallery in 1873.

Admire the cathedral complex in Piazza del Duomo

Walk through Florence's historic streets, hearing about the artists and powerful families who shaped the city, and arrive at Piazza del Duomo. For about 30 minutes, admire Santa Maria del Fiore with Brunelleschi's dome, Giotto's Bell Tower and the Baptistery from outside while learning about their history and architecture, and take photos. Brunelleschi's dome, a brick dome built in the 15th century without scaffolding, remains the symbol of Florence.

Piazza della Signoria and Ponte Vecchio

Pass through Piazza della Signoria, Florence's political center surrounded by Renaissance statues and Palazzo Vecchio, and hear stories of the Medici family and the city's art and politics. Before entering the Uffizi, stop briefly by the Arno to admire Ponte Vecchio.

Renaissance masterpieces at the Uffizi Gallery

Enter the Uffizi Gallery with a pre-booked ticket and spend about 1.5 hours admiring masterpieces by Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. Your guide explains the stories, symbolism and techniques behind the works. The Uffizi was designed by Giorgio Vasari in the 16th century as administrative offices for the Medici. The tour ends at the Uffizi.
