The Accademia Gallery & Florence Highlights: Skip the Line Walking Tour

Let's go on this walking tour through the heart of Florence, where art, history, and local life come together. I offer you a local’s perspective on Florence as we walk through both famous and lesser-known streets, from the Medici district, to the Duomo area, to the Medieval district. We'll be visiting key city landmarks like the Florence Cathedral, with its stunning dome designed by Brunelleschi, and the Ponte Vecchio, famous for its jewellery shops. We'll also visit the Accademia Gallery, home to Michelangelo’s David, a masterpiece that embodies the power and beauty of the Renaissance. Speaking of the Renaissance, I'll contextualize you on the influential Medici family, who were major patrons of the arts and played a crucial role in Florence’s development during this era. If you book during the summer, be sure not to forget a hat, sunscreen & sunglasses, and if you book during the winter, don't forget a raincoat or small umbrella just in case!
