Start your tour in the heart of Florence with a guided tour of the Accademia Gallery, fully immersing yourself in Michelangelo's art and discovering his most famous works, the 'David', and other important masterpieces such as 'I Prigioni', 'San Matteo' and the 'Pietà Palestrina'.
The young Michelangelo carved David from a huge block of raw marble in three years, creating an imposing sculpture of absolute beauty, an icon of the Renaissance model.
Next, you'll enjoy a walking tour that includes a guided outdoor visit to the Church of San Lorenzo and the Duomo complex: the Baptistery of San Giovanni with its bronze doors, such as the famous Porta del Paradiso, and the Cathedral with its magnificent Brunelleschi's Dome and Giotto's bell tower. The walk continues along the lively Via Calzaiuoli in the heart of the city, where you can admire the imposing and unique Orsanmichele Church, a masterpiece of Florentine Gothic art, decorated with shrines featuring statues of the patron saints of the powerful medieval merchant guilds. You'll then arrive at the bustling Mercato della Paglia (Straw Market): don't forget to rub the nose of the famous "porcellino" (pig) and throw a coin in the fountain for good luck!
Continuing on, you can admire the romantic and picturesque Ponte Vecchio, Florence's oldest bridge, with its renowned jewelry stores. Your lovely blast from the past will end at Piazza Signoria, one of the most beautiful squares in the world and the city's political center. In this true 'open-air museum,' you'll be awed by the beautiful Fountain of Neptune with Ammannati's marvelous and imposing marble statue, and, looking around, the sculptural masterpieces of the Loggia dei Lanzi, including Cellini's Perseus and Gianbologna's Rape of the Sabines. Dominating it all is the majestic Palazzo Vecchio with its crenellated Arnolfo Tower, one of Florence's most famous symbols, which you can admire in all its magnificence.
End this incredible tour with a delicious Tuscan lunch at a restaurant located in the old town (not included in the price).
