Florence guided tour

Florence. City of Etruscan- Roman origins, it flourished in the Middle Ages as a free commune. Furtherly refined by the Renaissance Art and enriched by the Medici rule, Florence is the cradle of Italian language. You will arrive in the heart of the city to visit the Galleria dell’Accademia, where the original David by Michelangelo is kept, together with the Third “Pietà” and the Prisons, also by Michelangelo (for technical reasons this visit could be replaced with a visit to the Opera del Duomo). You will then proceed to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, with the magnificent dome by Brunelleschi, the Baptistry with the golden bronze doors by Ghiberti and Giotto’s Belfry. From here, walk to Piazza della Signoria with the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence’s Town Hall, the Loggia dei Lanzi with the Perseus by Cellini and the Fountain of Neptune. After lunch, you will go to Piazza Santa Croce. Free time at disposal to visit the church of Santa Croce (with the graves of Michelangelo, Galileo, Rossini, Machiavelli) or to go into some typical shops, such as the ancient “School of Leather”. Departure for Rome and arrival at 9.00 pm aprox.
The tour is escorted by a local guide. You will reach Florence by air conditioning limousine with English speaker personal driver.
