What to expect
Your guide meets you at your hotel and walks you through Florence's northern quarters to the Accademia, where you'll stand before David in person. The Duomo visit includes its marble-clad exterior and interior, plus climbing opportunities on the bell tower if interested. You'll break for lunch independently—find somewhere near Piazza della Signoria. Afternoon explores that piazza's outdoor statuary, then transitions into the Uffizi's galleries. Expect crowds, especially in peak season; your guide navigates these and provides context that transforms paintings from objects into historical narratives.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes; you'll cover substantial ground. The Uffizi can feel rushed in six hours, so prioritise works your guide highlights. Moderate fitness needed for stairs and standing. Bring water. Gratuities and meals aren't included.
