Description

Florence’s Renaissance treasures are best enjoyed without the crowds—and this VIP tour lets you do just that, with options to start early morning or late afternoon for a calm, intimate experience. Begin your tour with skip-the-line access to the Accademia Gallery, home to Michelangelo’s iconic David. Your expert guide will share insights about David and Michelangelo’s unfinished “Slaves,” giving you a deeper understanding of these masterpieces in a relaxed atmosphere. Next, head to Piazza del Duomo to admire the famed bronze Baptistery doors, known as the 'Gates of Paradise.' Then, enjoy exclusive, skip-the-line access to the rarely opened rooftop terraces of Florence’s cathedral. From this privileged vantage point, take in stunning views and a close-up look at the intricate details of the Duomo’s architecture. After the guided tour, you have the option to climb Brunelleschi’s dome at your own pace using your skip-the-line ticket. Whether you start first thing or late in the day, the peaceful timing means you’ll avoid the crowds and truly soak in Florence’s beauty. This small-group experience combines exclusive access, expert guidance, and the freedom to explore one of Italy’s most iconic landmarks without the usual bustle.
