What to expect
Palazzo Vecchio
We could dedicate days, even weeks to this square for all the details it contains, but we will focus above all on one person, Cosimo 1st de'Medici, the first Grand Duke of Tuscany, we will know him through some of the statues in the square and we will also take a look at the frescoes he had made in honor of his son's wedding.
Duomo - Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore
This cathedral represents the most important place in Florence, we will talk about it in detail, we will see how it was made and we will also focus on the dome, a masterpiece by Filippo Brunelleschi.
Ponte Vecchio
One of the most beautiful bridges in the world, after 800 years is still standing and amazes visitors with its charm and its medieval atmosphere. But why are there all those jewelers? We will find out during the tour.
Santa Maria Novella
The magnificent square once used for the race with chariots, like in Rome. Why we had a race like this in Florence? Wi'll find it out here.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
