Overview
The lines for popular Florence attractions are notoriously long year-round. You won’t waste a second of your vacation on this walking tour, which includes skip-the-line entry to Accademia Gallery, home to Michelangelo's David. As well as bypassing the often hours-long queue, you’ll take a guided walking tour that covers the Uffizi Gallery, Brunelleschi’s Dome (Duomo), Ponte Vecchio, and more. This tour is a great way to get oriented upon arrival in the Tuscan capital.
What to Expect
Meet your guide and group of no more than 25 at San Marco Square (Piazza San Marco) for your walking tour of Florence.
From there, you’ll head to Accademia Gallery, where you’ll bypass long lines and head inside to admire Michelangelo's iconic David sculpture.
Upon leaving Accademia Gallery, you’ll continue your walk through the city, with your guide bringing Renaissance architecture and history to life.
Gaze at Brunelleschi’s Dome (Duomo), undoubtedly the most famous structure on the Florentine skyline, and Giotto’s Bell Tower. Stroll through the medieval Palazzo Vecchio and see the exterior of the Church of Orsanmichele and the Uffizi Gallery.
The tour concludes facing the Ponte Vecchio bridge.

No Duomo interior!
Melania was an excellent guide, but the tour did not provide “skip the line” access to the Duomo, as advertised. We got only an exterior tour of the cathedral, which was very disappointing.

Met Patricia our guide in the Piazza di San Marco at 8.20am. There are plenty of places to get a quick croissant and sandwich beforehand. Patricia was excellent, a very knowledgeable guide with a real enthusiasm that came through. The earpieces were excellent, worked very...More

Paul (not Paolo) the most hostile tour guide ever!
I just completed the tour, led by Paul. Paul's style for touring was to ask the group questions. When he received a response, he would then criticize and berate whoever had answered. Within 5 minutes of the tour beginning (we left 6 minutes early) he...More
