This Best of Florence Tour offers visitors the opportunity to see the city’s top sights in just a few hours.

Enjoy skip-the-line entrance and avoid the long queues. Once inside the Galleria, your guide will lead you by the Slaves, lining the corridor leading to David.

With an expert art historian on hand and with a maximum of 18 people in your group, you'll be able to have all your questions answered. Next, you’ll feast your eyes on one of the city's architectural gems, the Florence Cathedral. Enter with skip-the-line tickets and hear the story of how its architect Brunelleschi recovered lost knowledge and expanded the realm of what was deemed humanly possible all in his pursuit of building it. The beauty of Florence isn't confined to its galleries and churches, as you’ll see in the streets and piazzas of the Renaissance city. Enjoy a guided walk to see the best of the rest for a fuller understanding of the history and culture of Florence. At Piazza della Signoria, you’ll admire magnificent sculptures in the open air.
