Your day begins with a private pickup at your hotel in Rome by an English-speaking professional driver. Relax in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle as you travel north through the Italian countryside, passing rolling hills, vineyards, and olive groves on your way to Florence. The journey is smooth and stress-free, allowing you to enjoy the scenery or rest before your guided visit.
Guided Walking Tour of Florence (3 Hours)
Once in Florence, you will meet your private licensed guide and begin a walking tour through the historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the birthplace of the Renaissance.
You will admire the magnificent Florence Cathedral (Duomo) with its iconic dome engineered by Brunelleschi — still considered a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture and one of the largest masonry domes ever built. Nearby, your guide will introduce you to Giotto’s Bell Tower and the Baptistery, famous for its bronze “Gates of Paradise.”
Stroll through Florence’s elegant streets to Piazza della Signoria, the city’s political heart since medieval times, where replicas and original statues recall the power of the Medici family. Continue toward the legendary Ponte Vecchio, Florence’s oldest bridge, lined with historic goldsmith shops — a tradition dating back to the 16th century.
Along the way, your guide will share engaging stories, historical insights, and fun facts about artists such as Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Dante Alighieri, bringing Florence’s past vividly to life.
Optional Visit to the Accademia Gallery – Michelangelo’s David
When booking this private day trip from Rome to Florence, you can choose to enhance your experience with a skip-the-line guided visit to the Accademia Gallery, home to Michelangelo’s original David, one of the most iconic sculptures in the world. With pre-reserved tickets, you will avoid long entrance lines and enjoy a focused visit led by your private guide, who will explain the history, symbolism, and artistic genius behind this Renaissance masterpiece, along with other works by Michelangelo.
