Your Itinerary

Gallerie Degli Uffizi

Delve deeper into Florence’s rich history with a visit to all the most important sights of the city. With an expert, English-speaking guide and audio headset, hear the city come to life before you as you listen to a fun and interesting commentary about the art and architecture found throughout Florence.

Admission Not Included

Ponte Vecchio

(Pass by)

With your guide leading the way you’ll visit all the most important sights, starting off from the iconic Ponte Vecchio bridge, the Uffizi Courtyard (from the outside), the sculptures at Piazza Signoria and the gold doors of the Baptistery.

Piazza del Duomo

We’ll visit the Duomo Square, where the magnificent Florence Cathedral is, known locally as Il Duomo, for the stunning dome that crowns it. This incredible feat of engineering required a whole new process for its construction, which your guide will describe as you view it from the outside. The entrance to the Duomo is free and you can visit independently if you wish, as the guide provided you with a full explanation of its inside and outside features.

Galleria dell'Accademia

End your guided tour with a skip-the-line entrance to the Accademia Gallery, home to Michelangelo’s 'David.' With the help of an expert, English-speaking guide and a Skip-the-Line Access at the Accademia, you’ll be able to spot the sculptures emerging from the rock and learn about Michelangelo’s technique in sculpting – an art form he considered far above painting.

Mari, our guide, was wonderful. Absolutely passionate and knowledgeable in many areas. The walking tour covered several important aspects of Florence, and Mari was invaluable when we arrived at Accademia...we could never have navigated the entry without her. Also she recommend places for excellent gelato and canolli!

Valentina was a fantastic guide! She was knowledgeable in the history of the city of Florence and all aspects of the region. Her humor and intelligence made for time well spent.

Heidi_N

Our guide was so knowledgable, she made David come alive for us! We enjoyed her comments on local cuisine as well.

We had an AMAZING tour with our guide on 4/14/24 at 1030a. Learned and laughed a lot! Pit stops with time to buy water and wine. My biggest regret was that I ran out of euros and couldn't tip our guide :( (so sorry). We really enjoyed ourselves though! Highly reccomend! Piacere!

"Stefano's tour of Florence was exceptional! His deep knowledge and passion for the city's history shone brightly, especially during the vivid storytelling of Michelangelo and the David. An unforgettable, educational journey through art and time. Highly recommend City of Wonders for the true essence of Florence!"

Claudia was our City wonder Walking tour with David. We enjoyed the walking tour of florence and can view David and all the Accademia has to offer at your own pace.

Do not do the St Mark’s tour in Venice. It was a disaster. The tour guide was 29 mins late, rude and unprofessional. She did not purchase the tickets. So we had no tour. Be very careful of the tour operators. They are not reliable and Viator does not protect the customer. We received no refund. Horrible customer service.

I missed out on buying tickets to the Academy Gallery but found this tour. I’m glad I went with this option. A.R. (our tour guide) was very knowledgeable and well organized.
