Best of Florence

Admire Michelangelo's David, marvel at the breathtaking Duomo, and take a guided stroll through the charming streets and historic squares of this Renaissance city to fully experience its cultural treasures.

Discover Florence’s top highlights in just a few hours on this small-group walking tour. Begin with skip-the-line entry to the Accademia Gallery to admire Michelangelo’s David, led by an expert art historian who brings the masterpiece—and its story—to life.

Next, head to the stunning Florence Cathedral (Duomo), where you’ll learn how Brunelleschi’s revolutionary dome reshaped architecture forever. Depending on your selected time, your tour will then take one of two exciting routes:

  • 8:30am or 3:30pm: Enjoy exclusive access to the Duomo’s North Terrace, normally closed to the public, followed by a climb to the top of the Dome for breathtaking views over Florence.

  • 9:00am or 2:15pm: Take a guided walk through Florence’s most beautiful streets and piazzas. Visit Piazza della Signoria, see the Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo Vecchio, Piazza della Repubblica, and hear tales of the Medici family. Don’t forget to rub Il Porcellino’s nose for good luck!

With a group capped at 18 people, this immersive tour offers an unforgettable way to experience the best of Florence—art, history, and hidden treasures included.
