Highlights
  • Piazza Santa Croce - You’ll convene at Piazza Santa Croce, adjacent to the Santa Croce church, which houses Michelangelo’s tomb.

  • Ponte Vecchio - The walking tour kicks off in the heart of the city, with Ponte Vecchio as the inaugural stop. Be prepared to capture the breathtaking panoramas of the Florentine hills from this historic bridge.

  • Piazza della Signoria - Next, you’ll proceed to Piazza della Signoria, the hub of Florence’s political scene, featuring the remarkable Loggia. This is where you’ll encounter the renowned marble and bronze sculptures by 16th-century Florentine artists.

You will also admire the exterior of the esteemed Uffizi Gallery, a globally acclaimed art museum. This edifice formerly served as the headquarters for the Florentine Guilds, and you’ll be awed by the grandeur of Palazzo Vecchio, the city’s municipal building.

  • Mercato del Porcellino - The tour continues through the old marketplace, a bustling area of the city. Both adults and children will delight in the tradition of rubbing the nose of the “Porcellino” (wild boar) statue for good fortune!

A skilled family tour guide will lead you to another renowned square in Florence, Piazza della Repubblica. Along the way, your guide will regale you with entertaining stories and intriguing facts about Florence’s lifestyle, history, and culture.

  • Piazza del Duomo - Your journey will then take you to the remarkable Basilica of Santa Maria del Fiore, colloquially known as The Duomo (Cathedral). This edifice is unprecedented in size and design, symbolizing the Renaissance spirit of Florence.

The dome, a brainchild of Filippo Brunelleschi, stands as a significant architectural triumph, far surpassing its contemporaries. Your guide will share insights and fascinating details about the cathedral’s history.

  • Galleria dell’Accademia - To conclude, your priority entrance tickets will expedite your admission to the Accademia Gallery, where you’ll have the opportunity to marvel at Michelangelo’s iconic David statue without the wait.

Please be aware that this outdoor exploration demands considerable stamina for walking. Given that both children and adults may become exhausted from prolonged periods of standing and walking, we recommend scheduling this tour at the start of your stay in Florence. It’s also advisable to make this your sole excursion for the day.

During the tour, participants will be treated to a complimentary gelato tasting!
