Your guide will reveal the finer details of this masterpiece, along with lesser-known works that shaped Renaissance art.

The Florence Duomo and Ponte Vecchio

Stroll through Florence’s historic streets, stopping as you like to take in the Duomo’s breathtaking façade, the bronze doors of the Baptistry, and the medieval charm of Dante’s district. Pause for an espresso or a glass of wine while your guide shares stories of the Medici family’s power and influence. From there, cross the Ponte Vecchio, where goldsmiths have traded for centuries, and arrive at Piazza della Signoria, home to Palazzo Vecchio and open-air sculptures that feel like a museum in themselves.

Break for Lunch Like a Local

Midway through the day, your guide will recommend great local spots for lunch, whether you’re craving a traditional trattoria, a quick panini, or a classic Florentine steak. Take time to enjoy a meal at your own pace before regrouping for the afternoon portion of your tour.

Masterpieces of the Uffizi Gallery

After your break, enjoy priority access to the Uffizi Gallery, Florence’s artistic crown jewel. Here, you’ll stand before Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, Caravaggio’s Medusa, and works by Raphael and Leonardo da Vinci, with your guide illuminating the genius behind each masterpiece.

A Private Experience, Designed for You

With the freedom of a private tour, you’ll set the pace—whether lingering over a favorite painting or pausing for a gelato along the way. By the time you finish inside the Uffizi Gallery, you’ll have experienced Florence’s rich culture, art, and history in a way that feels uniquely yours.
