+7 photos

Art fans, this one is for you. This walking tour shows off Florence’s iconic art collection and includes guided visits to some of its most important galleries. And the best bit? It's a private tour, so you’ll have a really laidback time ticking off the city’s major landmarks. Enzo, one of our expert local guides, says “Florence’s art scene is one of its main draws, but seeing it all can be really tricky. This tour is designed to make sure you see the vast majority of it with time to soak it in.”You’ll kick things off with a visit to the Accademia Gallery, home to Michelangelo’s iconic statue of David. Your guide is an expert on Renaissance art, so they’ll tell you the story of how the legendary artist crafted this piece, which is widely regarded to be artistically perfect. There’s a bunch of his other statues on show here, as well, along with paintings from the 15th century.You’ll take a break from art for a bit as you make your way to the other gallery on the itinerary, the Uffizi Gallery. The journey there takes you through the Piazza del Duomo, home to Florence’s 800-year-old cathedral, and the Piazza della Signoria, where Florence’s government is based. Finally, when you reach the Uffizi Gallery, you’ll be shown around the collection, which includes work by Leonardo Da Vinci, Raphael, Caravaggio and more. All of these artists are considered masters of the Renaissance, and you’ll hear about each of their stories right up until it’s time for the gallery to close.
