What to expect

Meet your guide in Piazza della Repubblica, the ancient heart of the Roman city. No visit to Florence is complete without stopping at Piazza del Duomo, the city’s core, where you’ll admire the stunning Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral, Saint John’s Baptistery, and Giotto’s Bell Tower. We will take in these majestic architectural wonders from the outside while exploring how Florence became one of the wealthiest and most influential cities in the world.
The magnificent marble facades and artworks adorning this square complete the picture—especially the story of Brunelleschi’s Dome, one of the greatest engineering feats of the Renaissance.
We’ll then wander through Dante’s District and uncover the hidden gem of Orsanmichele Church, a striking building that once served as a grain market before being transformed into a sacred space, now decorated with Renaissance statues.
Next, Piazza della Signoria will welcome us with its stunning Palazzo Vecchio, the gorgeous Neptune Fountain, and an impressive collection of statues, including a replica of Michelangelo’s David. Here, we’ll delve into the fascinating story of the Medici family, who shaped Florence’s political and cultural history for centuries.
From there, we’ll head to the city’s most iconic bridge: Ponte Vecchio. As we pause on this ancient crossing over the Arno River, enjoy the dazzling display of jewelry shops that have occupied the bridge since the 1500s.
To enrich this classic Florence walking tour, we’ll add a touch of craftsmanship and gastronomy. Along the way, we’ll sample both sweet and savory Florentine specialties and take a break from history to visit an authentic artisan workshop.
