Group: Best of Florence Walking Tour with Duomo and Accademia Gallery and Gelato

About the Tour:

Florence is a perfect destination for walking: mostly flat, crisscrossed by narrow avenues and pedestrian piazzas, and filled with gorgeous landmarks and neighborhoods that are wonderful to explore alfresco. This 3 -hour tour—great for those who have just arrived in Florence—provides an ideal way to learn your way around the city and touch on its most important highlights including entry to Accademia Gallery and Duomo.  You’ll be accompanied by an expert, English-speaking guide, whose knowledge of the city will help you find your feet there.

 What We Love About This Tour:

• Getting a fun, informative overview of the city's highlights (including The Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, and the Accademia gallery)
• Learning about the cultural history of the city, including stories about its most famous and powerful family, the Medicis
• Enjoying a welcome gelato stop at the end of your tour
  
  

Tour Itinerary:

After meeting up with your group, you’ll start off on your approximately 3 hour walk around the city. Your route will vary, but will take in many of the major Florentine points of interest—including The Duomo, the Palazzo Vecchio and a visit to the Accademia Gallery to see David, the Baptistery of San Giovanni with its “Gates of Paradise”, Giotto’s Campanile, Brunelleschi’s Dome, the churches of Santa Trinita and Orsanmichele, the Ponte Vecchio, and the secret Vasari Corridor. Along the way, your guide will share with you the fascinating history behind these landmarks—with a special emphasis on the prominent and powerful Medici family, whose wealth and influence over centuries helped shape the city into the cultural and artistic hub it still is today. You'll finish your tour with a tasty gelato!
