Overview

Experience the Tuscan capital's top attractions on a small-group walking tour through Florence. Begin with skip-the-line access to view Michelangelo's 'David' in the Accademia Gallery and the Duomo. Afterwards your guide takes you to Piazza della Signoria, an open-air art gallery where Michelangelo's David was originally supposed to stand. Then explore the streets of Florence, taking in landmarks like the Ponte Vecchio bridge, Palazzo della Signoria e Piazza della Repubblica.

If you select the VIP David & Duomo option at time of booking, instead of a Florence walking tour, you'll spend more time in the Duomo, getting exclusive access to the Duomo's North Terrace and climbing to the top of the Dome for stunning panoramic views of Florence.
