• Galleria dell’Accademia - Embark on an unforgettable hour-long journey with a local expert through the Accademia Gallery’s treasures. Discover the story of Michelangelo’s David, from its creation to its lasting impact. The guide will reveal hidden details and bring this Renaissance masterpiece to life.

But David is just the start! Experience the captivating work of Giambologna and Ghirlandaio’s solemn “St. Stephen.” Uncover the intriguing story behind Michelangelo’s unfinished “Slaves” and their influence on his peers.

The tour concludes at the iconic Tribune, offering deep insights into David and Allori’s “Coronation of the Virgin Mary.” Finally, explore the Gipsoteca Bartolini, a collection of plaster casts by renowned artists.

This well-paced tour ensures you see the highlights without feeling rushed. Plus, you can revisit any favorites, like David, after the tour ends.

• Piazza del Duomo - Situated in the heart of Florence’s historic center, Piazza del Duomo is one of the world’s most visited sites and the most popular area in Florence. From the meeting point, the guide will provide insights into the history of this magnificent piece of art right before you.
• Museo dell’Opera del Duomo - The guide will lead you to the Museo dell’Opera del Duomo, dedicated to preserving the dome and other masterpieces by Michelangelo, Donatello, Lorenzo Ghiberti, Luca Della Robbia, Arnolfo di Cambio, and many others.
• Campanile di Giotto - As you stroll through the Piazza, you’ll catch glimpses of the red dome completed in 1436 by Filippo Brunelleschi, once the largest building in Medieval Europe. After an engaging explanation of this marvel, your next stop will be the Florentine Gothic architecture showpieces, Giotto’s Bell Tower, adjacent to the Basilica of Santa Maria del Fiore.
• Battistero di San Giovanni - Finally, enter through the “Gates of Paradise” to the Baptistery of Saint John, located across from the Duomo Cathedral. You will receive guidance on the technical and artistic aspects of the architecture before the tour concludes.

The tour lasts about an hour and a half, the perfect duration to see the highlights of Piazza Della Duomo.

• Cupola del Brunelleschi - Designed and built by Filippo Brunelleschi, the Cupola features narrow corridors for climbing up and down. This is because the cathedral’s builders never intended it to be open to the public.
  Inside the dome, admire Giorgio Vasari’s frescoes of the Last Judgment (1572-9) up close, with an engaging explanation of the frescoes as you ascend to the top. Look down to see that Baccio D’Angelo began adding a balcony in 1507, and one of the eight sides remains unfinished, with the other seven sides still rough brick to this day!
  Once at the top of the Cupola, be captivated by the panoramic view of Florence city before you.
  After visiting the Cupola with your pre-reserved timed ticket, you can also explore the interior of the Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral, Santa Reparata, and climb Giotto’s Bell Tower at your own pace and time.
