Overview

Michelangelo's David at the Accademia Gallery

For those who have only seen photos of David and want to experience the city in a knowledgeable way, this tour is perfect. At the Accademia Gallery, standing before David, you will hear the fascinating story of the statue, the secrets it holds and the history of its renowned creator — the great Michelangelo Buonarroti.

You will also come to appreciate the unfinished "Slaves" during your visit to the sculptures in the Hall of Prisoners.

A Walking Tour Designed for First-Time Visitors

This walking tour has been specifically designed for first-time travelers to Florence.

We begin at Piazza Duomo, where an overview of how Florence rose to become a major power center is given.

Strolling the Streets of the Medici and Michelangelo

As we walk down the medieval streets of Florence, you will encounter amazing sights at every turn.

We will walk through those very same streets that the Medicis, Michelangelo, Donatello, Machiavelli, and Dante himself once trod — exploring the lovely narrow Florentine alleys, old tower-houses, and the open-air museum that this extraordinary city truly is.
