Overview

Experience the Tuscan capital's top attractions on a small-group walking tour through Florence. Begin with a timed entry ticket to view Michelangelo's 'David' in the Accademia Gallery and the Duomo. Afterwards, your guide takes you to Piazza della Signoria, an open-air art gallery where Michelangelo's David was originally supposed to stand. Then explore the streets of Florence, taking in landmarks like the Ponte Vecchio bridge, Palazzo della Signoria e Piazza della Repubblica.

If you select the VIP David and Duomo option at time of booking, instead of a Florence walking tour, you'll spend more time in the Duomo, getting exclusive access to the Duomo's North Terrace and climbing to the top of the Dome for stunning panoramic views of Florence. If you select the 3 Davids of Florence option at the time of booking, you’ll visit three iconic David sculptures at the Accademia Gallery, Bargello, and Piazza della Signoria with a private art-history-trained guide.
