Description
Start your Tour from the very heart of Florence, with the Guided Visit of Accademia Gallery, with a total immersion in the art of Michelangelo to know his most renowned works, the 'David', and other important masterpieces such as ''I Prigioni'', ''San Matteo'' and the 'Palestrina Pietà'.
The young Michelangelo carved the David from a huge block of rough marble in three years, creating an imposing sculpture of absolute beauty, an icon of the renaissance model.
Then you will proceed with a walking Tour which will include the outdoor guided visit of San Lorenzo Church and the Duomo complex: San Giovanni Baptistery with its bronze doors as the famous Porta del Paradiso and the Cathedral with the magnificent Cupola del Brunelleschi and Giotto’s bell tower. The walk continues along lively Via Calzaiuoli in the heart of the city, where you can admire the imposing and singular Orsanmichele Church, a masterpiece of Florentine gothic art, decorated with shrines with statues of the patron saints of the powerful medieval trade guilds. Then you reach the bustling Mercato della Paglia (Straw Market): don’t forget to rub the nose of the famous "porcellino" (pig) and toss a coin into the fountain to bring you good luck!
Going on, you can admire the romantic, picturesque Ponte Vecchio, the oldest bridge in Florence, with its renowned jewellery shops. Your lovely blast from the past will FINAL in Piazza Signoria, one of the most beautiful squares in the world and the political centre of the city. In this true 'outdoor museum', you’ll be amazed as you admire the beautiful Fountain of Neptune with the marvellous and imposing marble statue by Ammannati and then, looking around, the sculptural masterpieces of the Loggia dei Lanzi, including the Cellini’s Perseus and the Gianbologna’s Rape of the Sabines. Dominating all this is the majestic Palazzo Vecchio with its crenellated Arnolfo tower, one of the most famous symbols of Florence that you will be able to admire in all its magnificence.
End this amazing tour with a delicious Tuscan Lunch in a Restaurant located in the old town (not included in the price).

Muito felizes com a escolha. Tudo foi resolvido digitalmente, não precisou imprimir nada. Fomos em família e todos conseguiram fazer sem problema. Se voltarmos a Florencia, repetimos.

Far better than we expected. Estátua de David justifies the early start. The accademia Gallery entrance Ticket arrived exactly when we needed it. I would recommend it without hesitation.

Vale la pena
Estuvo bueno, con altibajos. Si lo comparás con hacerlo por tu cuenta, conviene. El auriculares vale por sí solo. El audio se cortaba en un par de tramos.

Lo volvería a hacer sin dudarlo. Aprovechamos asistencia en el punto de encuentro más de lo que pensábamos. La organización se notó, cero improvisación. Volveríamos a contratarlo.

We found it well run and correct. We reached the hotel faster than the booking suggested. It costs more than going alone, but it saves you all the planning. Nice touch with typical Tuscan Lunch: 3 course set menu. They swapped the assigned vehicle without telling us. I would do it again anyway.

Não poderia ter sido melhor. Pelo preço que pagamos, rende muito. O almoço típico da Toscana: menu fixo de 3 pratos foi bem pensado. Logística afiada, dá para ver que fazem isso todo dia. Contrataríamos de novo.
