Florence's Highlights & Accademia Gallery - Private Walking Tour

On this tour, it could be said that we'll get to enjoy 2 art museums: the Accademia Gallery, and a sort of open air museum displaying the beautiful statues that the Medici family commissioned to celebrate their power in the city. The Accademia on the other hand, besides the David, also presents unfinished works by Michelangelo, for example, the "Prisoners". Since it's unfinished, it actually shows how our most famous artist actually carved the massive blocks of Carrara marble. Besides this, we'll also admire Florence's religious complex, constituted by the Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral, better known as the Duomo, decorated with its polichrome marbles and dominated by its impressive Dome, the Baptistery and the Bell Tower. Given that this is a walking tour, I advice you bring comforable shoes as well as a bottle of water. Also, if you book during the summer, don't forget to bring a hat, sunscreen & sunglasses! If you're booking in winter, I suggest bringing a raincoat or small umbrella in case it rains.
