Description
Discover the Wonders of Florence with a Private Tour Guide
Begin your amazing half-day tour in Florence by meeting your private licensed tour guide. This walking tour will allow you to visit the city landmarks and learn interesting details about its history and art. Gaze up in wonder at the big red dome of Duomo, the Florence Cathedral, from the outside. Nearby stands the colored marble Giotto Bell Tower. The famous gilded Porta del Paradiso (Gates of Paradise) by Ghiberti at St. John’s Baptistery will surely strike you. Next, enter the elegant courtyard in Palazzo Vecchio, also called Palazzo della Signoria. This was the most important historic government building. Your guide will explain the meaning and some allegorical symbols hidden in the statues kept inside the Loggia dei Lanzi.
Live Florence as a Local
A short walk along some narrow streets in the core of the Medieval and Renaissance town will allow you to breathe the atmosphere of bygone days. Here, you will stop for a sweet break: an Italian Cappuccino or Espresso with a Cantuccini tasting, typical local biscuits. Stories and curiosities will accompany your journey through Florentine history and art, making the experience even more engaging and memorable.
Uffizi Masterpieces: discover Botticelli and Renaissance Art
Your sightseeing tour will end close to Ponte Vecchio at the Uffizi Gallery. There, you’ll enjoy a complete skip-the-line visit of its masterpieces. Marvel at “The Birth of Venus” and the “Allegory of Spring” by Sandro Botticelli. See “Tondo Doni” by Michelangelo, the “Madonna del Cardellino” by Raffaello, and “The Adoration of the Magi” by Leonardo da Vinci, plus much more. This unique experience allows you to admire some of the world’s most important artworks with the expert guidance of a qualified professional.
