Why take this tour?

Experience a once-in-a-lifetime chance to explore a guided tour of Florence's world renowned museums in a single day: the Accademia Gallery and Uffizi.

Gain priority entry to the Accademia Gallery and feast your eyes on at Michelangelo's iconic masterpiece, the David—an embodiment of Renaissance brilliance. While only in his early twenties, young Michelangelo took on a project that seemed impossible to the artistic community, to carve a 17-foot statue from a piece of marble that had been rejected by many well-respected artists. To Renaissance master Giorgio Vasari, Michelangelo’s work was nothing short of “the bringing back to life of one who was dead.” 

Witness Michelangelo's fascinating unfinished sculptures—Prigioni and San Matteo—alongside numerous other treasures spanning from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. Your knowledgeable expert English-speaking guide will unveil these masterpieces by renowned artists like Botticelli, Paolo Uccello, and Andrea del Sarto. 

After a short break head to the Piazza della Signoria and enjoy priority entry to the magnificent Uffizi Gallery for an insightful 2.5-hour guided tour through its most important masterpieces Led by an art historian. Understand the essence of each painting, tracing the evolution of Italian art from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance and the inspiration from ancient Rome and Greece.
