Classic Tours

  • The Duomo and Giotto's Bell-towerTour CL1 Classic Florence. This tour is aimed at those who wish to see all the most important sights, usually those who are visiting Florence for the first time, which consists of a fascinating walk through the historic centre of the city. The tour includes the Franciscan church of Santa Croce, known as the "Pantheon of the Italian Glories" owing to the fact that many illustrious Italians, such as Michelangelo, Galileo, Rossini and Machiavelli, are buried here. The visit also includes the religious centre (the Baptistry, the Duomo and Giotto's Bell-tower), as well as the political centre (Piazza della Signoria) of the city.Reserve this tour



    Michelangelo's DavidTour CL2 Academy Gallery. One of the world's most visited museums, famous for Michelangelo's David and the Prisoners, as well as the Saint Matthew and the beautiful Barberini Pietà. The tour continues with the Duomo and the church of Santa Croce, where it is possible to admire the magnificent tomb of the great Michelangelo.Reserve this tour










    Tour CL3 Uffizi Gallery. The most visited museum in Florence, and one of the most important painting collections in the world, which allows one to relive the evolution of Italian painting thanks to works by Giotto, Piero della Francesca, Filippo Lippi, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Andrea del Sarto, Raphael and Titian.Reserve this tour







    Tour CL4 Palatine Gallery. An extraordinary collection of painting from the High Renaissance to the Baroque (Raphael, Titian, Rubens, Van Dyck), housed in what was the last and most solemn of the Medici palaces. The visit also includes the so-called Royal Apartments, where King Umberto and Queen Margherita of Savoy lived when Florence was Italy's capital city (1865-71). The tour continues with a visit to the Boboli Gardens, one of the grandest and most elegant gardens in Italy, that combines natural and artificial architecture with a rich collection of sculptural groups that date from Classical times to the 19th century.Reserve this tour






  • Theme tours

  • For each tour we offer a series of suggestions, which may be modified according to your own preferences and the time you have available.

    Tour TH1 Michelangelo Tour. This tour starts with the Academy Gallery, where we admire original masterpieces by the great Michelangelo, such as the David, the Prisoners, the Saint Matthew and the Barberini Pietà. This is followed by the Medici Chapels and the New Sacristy, where Lorenzo il Magnifico was buried, and the only location where Michelangelo worked both as architect and sculptor at the same time. Finally, we visit the church of Santa Croce, which contains the tomb of Michelangelo.Reserve this tour




    Tour TH2 Medici Family Tour.  The tour starts with the Palazzo Medici Riccardi, a refined example of a Renaissance palace, with its delightful chapel featuring beautiful frescoes by Benozzo Gozzoli. The tour continues with the church of San Lorenzo; here we pay particular attention to the Old Sacresty, designed by Filippo Brunelleschi, where the founding fathers of the Medici family are buried. Next, we visit the Princes' Chapel, an extraordinary Baroque Pantheon in which the 'princes' of the Medici family lie in rest. The tour ends with a visit to Michelangelo's New Sacresty, where we admire the selpuchres of the 'Magnificent' Lorenzo and Giuliano Medici.Reserve this tour






    TH3 Renaissance Tour. The tour begins with the Cupola of the Duomo, where we admire Brunelleschi's masterpiece from the square below, and continues with the churches of San Lorenzo and Santo Spirito. This is followed by a visit to the Brancacci Chapel in the church of Santa Maria del Carmine. Next, we visit the Bargello Museum, where we give particular attention to the works of Donatello, the Della Robbias, and Michelangelo and his contempories. The tour ends with a visit to the Pazzi Chapel.Reserve this tour












    TH4 Baroque Tour. The tour begins with the Princes' Chapel: the perfect place for a brief account of the history of the Tuscan Grand Dukes, buried here. The profusion of stones renders this architectural work an authentic jewel, the pride of Florence's Opificio delle Pietre Dure (semi-precious stone workshop). The next stop is the church of San Gaetano: a Baroque-style church, with a suggestive and scenographic facade, which seems designed in imitation of Roman churches. This is followed by the Church of Santa Maria del Carmine, where we visit the Corsini Chapel, frescoed for the Corsini family by the great Luca Giordano. Next, we visit the Palatine Gallery in the Pitti Palace, where particular attention is given to the major Baroque works exhibited. Upon request it is possible to visit the Palazzo Corsini. The Palazzo was never inhabited by the Corsini family, and thus this beautiful building has only been used for holding receptions. Inside we can admire the finest private collection in Florence, containing works of art by Botticelli, Raphael, Antonello da Messina, Pontormo, Rubens and many other masters of painting.Reserve this tour
