Join me on an upbeat walking tour of Florence with the added thrill of visiting Michelangelo's David at the Accademia! With me as your personal guide you'll become instantly familiar with the layout of the city and the "must see" highlights. I love telling a good story and my many interests and long experience living in Tuscany give my tours an original and entertaining touch. As an artist I have an eye for detail and love pointing out the hidden gems around the city as much as I enjoy talking about the scandals, conspiracies and love affairs of the most notorious Florentines from Dukes and Duchesses to Artists and Poets just to spice things up! The climax of the tour is meeting David in the flesh! Feel the power of his presence and walk amongst Michelangelo's unfinished Slaves. They are so surprisingly contemporary that it's hard to believe they were sculpted 500 years ago. Being an artist myself is a plus when it comes to helping people to observe and comprehend great masterpieces from the heart.
Meeting point: Piazza della Repubblica, in front of the Column of Abundance. The square is in the very centre of Florence and is surrounded by historic cafes. 1: Piazza del Duomo with the Cathedral and Baptistry (outside). Listen to the incredible stories about Brunelleschi's gravity defying Dome! 2: The medieval quarter and Dante's birthplace. Learn fascinating details about daily life in the middle ages. 3: Piazza Signoria and Palazzo Vecchio (outside). Admire the open air gallery of original Renaissance sculptures and fountains. 4: The Uffizi gallery (outside) and Vasari corridor which runs 1 km to the Pitti Palace. 5: Ponte Vecchio, the oldest bridge with stunning views. 6: Ponte Santa Trinita and Via Tornabuoni. The most exclusive and elegant area of Florence. 7: Accademia Gallery and Michelangelo's David (1 hour). This order of stops may vary according to the entrance time booked for the Accademia. I would be very happy to customize this tour to suit your interests and special requests!
