This walking tour in Florence lasts about six hours and focuses on the city's artistic heritage. It begins with a guided visit to the Accademia Gallery, where visitors spend about an hour viewing Michelangelo’s David and other sculptures like I Prigioni, San Matteo, and the Palestrina Pietà. The tour continues on foot through the historic center, stopping at Palazzo Medici Riccardi, designed by Michelozzo for Cosimo de' Medici, then to the Basilica di San Lorenzo, a Renaissance church with Medici tombs. Next, the group visits Piazza San Giovanni, where the Cathedral with Brunelleschi’s Dome, Giotto’s Bell Tower, and the Baptistery with the Gates of Paradise can be seen. The route includes the Fontana del Porcellino, a bronze boar statue in the Straw Market where visitors can follow the local tradition by rubbing its snout and placing a coin in its mouth. Piazza della Signoria follows, an outdoor square featuring statues like the Fountain of Neptune, Cosimo I, and the Loggia dei Lanzi. The walking section ends at Ponte Vecchio, the oldest bridge in Florence, known for its jewelry shops. After the walking tour, a three-course Tuscan lunch is served in a traditional restaurant in the old city. Following lunch, there is an option to visit the Uffizi Gallery with a guide for about an hour and a half. The Uffizi contains works by Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael. Alternatively, instead of the Uffizi visit, participants may select a guided visit to Florence Cathedral with direct access. Drinks are not included and must be paid on site. The tour operates in small groups from April to October and is led by a local professional guide.
