Your experience

Featuring skip-the-line access at both of Florence’s top art museums, this speedy tour is perfect for anyone traveling on a tight schedule.

See Michelangelo’s world-famous statue of David at the Accademia Gallery and explore the biggest collection of Renaissance art on the planet at the Uffizi Gallery.

An expert guide will accompany you, providing insight into the importance of each work of art.

Limited to just 15 people, this tour provides a more personalized experience than large tour groups and eliminates the chaos typically found in them.

You start your day with a visit to the Accademia Gallery where you will see the incredible sculpture of David by Michelangelo.

Your guide will reveal the details found in this historic piece of art and how it was used to portray political ideas as well.

After this, your guide will walk you through Michelangelo's Prisoner sculptures.

These sculptures are a great way to understand how Michelangelo believed the sculptures were stuck inside the marble and would eventually be released from their entrapment.

A delightful walk will bring you to the Uffizi Gallery after strolling through the Duomo and Piazza della Signoria.

At the Uffizi Gallery, you will find Botticelli's beautiful paintings, The Birth of Venus and Primavera.

Your guide will discuss the relationships between the artists and their influential Medici patrons and their relationship with the Renaissance, including how they changed history.

Finally, you will have time to see the works of Raphael, Caravaggio and Leonardo da Vinci before leaving Uffizi Gallery and continuing your exploration independently through the gallery.
