This tour features all the must-see sights of Florence in one day! Combining our Original Renaissance Walk with our Tour of the Uffizi you'll see all the major sights of the city as well as enjoying a full understanding of the Renaissance movement and the role played by the city of Florence. At 9:30 am, take our Original Renaissance Walking Tour, that provides the ideal introduction to a city, whose piazzas and palazzi reveal the logic and philosophy of that incredible period of history called the Renaissance. This tour features: The original statue of David by Michelangelo, Piazza Signoria, Ponte Vecchio, Famous Paintings & Sculptures, Medieval Florence and the times of the Renaissance. As we walk through the streets and piazzas of Florence we'll discuss the ideas of the Renaissance, the lives of many famous artists, the Medici family who showered Florence with countless masterpieces, and how life changed forever during this epic period of the history of Florence. After enjoying a walk through the historical centre of Florence we arrive at the Accademia Gallery, home to Florence 's most treasured work of art - "MichelAngelo's David". After enjoying an in-depth discussion of David, we'll also have time to admire "MichelAngelo's Slaves". A series of breath-taking sculptures.
The Uffizi museum was originally built by the Medici to house their administrative offices that ruled the city. Hence the name "Uffizi", Offices in Italian. During your tour of the Uffizi museum we'll discuss the Medici family as we tour the top floors of the Uffizi.
