Itinerary

  • Galleria dell'Accademia

    Avoid the endless lines and start the day with visiting one of the most noteworthy museums of Florence – the Accademia Gallery, home to the original colossal statue of David by Michelangelo. Take a look at the David and you will understand why Giorgio Vasari said “Anyone who has seen Michelangelo’s David has no need to see anything else….” Hear the stories about the tormented genius and learn how much struggle he endured to bring the damaged block of marble to life – a seemingly impossible task that made him immortal. Take a small break to get a cup of coffee or buy a souvenir in Accademia’s giftshop and continue your experience with a walking tour in the heart of Florence.

    1 hour

  • Duomo - Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore (Pass By)

    Admire the exterior of the magnificent Cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore which has a unique flower-shaped plan and the biggest masonry dome in the world – the marvel of the architect Filippo Brunelleschi. Even Michelangelo said “It would be difficult to equal…impossible to surpass.”

    Learn the stories about the Baptistery of San Giovanni – the oldest building of the city with its splendid Gates of Paradise.

  • Museo Casa di Dante (Pass By)

    Stroll around Dante’s district and enter the 1,000-year old church where the father of Italian language met the love and muse of his life.

  • Church and Museum of Orsanmichele (Pass By)

    Visit Orsanmichele – the quintessential Florentine church, and learn why a market was transformed into a church.

  • Fontana del Porcellino (Pass By)

    Rub the snout of a little bronze boar in Loggia del Porcellino and make a wish to come back to Florence.

  • Ponte Vecchio (Pass By)

    See Ponte Vecchio – the symbol of the city and the oldest bridge in town famous for its jewelers' shops hanging over the Arno River.

  • Piazza della Signoria (Pass By)

Put this at the top of the list - you must do it!

Published on Nov, 2024

My sister-in-law and I traveled to Italy for work and added in several days for fun. We met with Leonardo and had an expert guide across the beautiful city, starting on a brisk and gorgeous Saturday morning in Piazza de Santa Croce. Leo was a true historian of art and Florence, and he helped us both connect many dots of the history of civilizations, Italian language and art, and their connections with the life and cultures of today's modern world. It was a breathtaking tour, private, personalized, and a highlight for both of us who are international travelers. We have had many great tour guides, but we agree - Leonardo was the best at making things make sense. Thank you for educating us while also making this experience so special and perfect!

Great introduction to Florence

Published on Apr, 2024

Alfonso was a friendly and knowledgeable guide. Our family of five (parents and young adult children) all found that he gave us just the right amount of information during our tour of the Accademia Gallery as well as the Duomo (from the outside) and other important statues/landmarks within walking distance. Five stars!

David up close and personal

Published on Jan, 2024

Our guide Rossana was very nice and knew a lot about the David. She gave us great lunch recommendations, we would recommend this tour.

The City with Oksana

Published on Nov, 2023

What an experience, to go with someone so knowledgeable with David and the city of Florence. Oksana was very in tune of what we wanted in a tour. Would recommend her to anyone.
