What Makes This Tour Unique

Driving up the tree-lined road to Piazzale Michelangelo you will catch breathtaking glimpses of the city. From the esplanade, the spectacular view, framed by hills, cypresses and olive groves, is an unrivalled man-made and natural masterpiece.
Be enthralled by the Duomo complex, which includes the beautiful Baptistery, the magnificent Cathedral, with the spectacular Brunelleschi dome and Giotto's Belfry.
Guided visit to the renowned Academy Gallery, where the David by Michelangelo stands magnificently at the end of the Gallery: the beauty of this famous sculpted nude will leave an unforgettable impression on you.

We shall drive you up the romantic Viale dei Colli to Piazzale Michelangelo: there we stop to admire the breathtaking view of the city, spread out beneath us - one of the most beautiful in the world.

The tour continues by coach down into the centre of the oldest part of the town. One then gets out, proceeding on a guided visit on foot of the Santa Maria del Fiore or Duomo complex: the Baptistery with its gilded bronze doors including the famous Doors of Paradise and a walk around the exterior of the Cathedral with the magnificent Brunelleschi Dome and Giotto's Belfry with its fascinating marble statues and reliefs.

A short walk through the historical streets of the heart of Florence takes one past stately, rusticated stone Palazzo Medici Riccardi, where young Michelangelo lived as a guest of Lorenzo the Magnificent, to the renowned Gallery of the Accademia* where one can admire the famous David by Michelangelo and other works by the great artist.

The guided tour ends inside the museum, enabling one to explore a little further on ones own.
