“Our guide for the Florence
Small Group Walking Tour was Raffaela
and she was a wealth of knowledge. We
truly enjoyed her. Everything was very
well paced and the group was capped at
6 participants, which made it easy to
understand, interact, and ask questions”
– Giulia – New York City, New York

Your Florence tour guide is passionate about the place they call home and wants to share all their knowledge with you on a personal level. That means no scripts or audio tapes, just natural conversation with someone who knows the city inside-out while being guided around Florence’s historic streets, astounding architecture, and vibrant culture.

What to Expect on Your Florence Walking Tour

Your Florence Small Group Walking Tour begins at Piazza della Signoria, where your local guide will meet you and begin your walk through Medieval streets where the likes of Dante Alighieri, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and some of Italy’s most renowned artists once called home.

You will now make your way over to Palazzo Vecchio where you will see a replica of Michelangelo’s David. This will certainly give you a taste of what’s to come a bit later on in your tour.

Your Florence tour guide will stroll with you and your small group across the renowned medieval Ponte Vecchio, from which you can admire the view of the River Arno. Your guide will take a quick break from storytelling so you can take a few photos of the Florence view with the Arno River as your backdrop, or just browse the local boutiques and jewelry shops nestled along both sides of the bridge. Your guide will now accompany you to Piazza della Repubblica, which now acts as a modern day meeting place, but once stood as an ancient Roman Forum. A Florence walking tour is an ideal way to truly understand the many layers of Italy’s history from ancient Rome to Renaissance to modern day. This square is a prime example of just that.

You and your small group will be guided towards the Florence Cathedral (Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore), also known by the locals as Il Duomo. Step into the Piazza del Duomo and take a moment to admire this icon of Florence with all it’s detailed decorative faced in white, green and red marble. Learn about the the talented architect Filippo Brunelleschi and how he could complete his dream to build the majestic dome that is crowning the cathedral. Who would have thought that a man of the Renaissance would need help from the Ancient Romas to complete his work?

Depending on crowds, you and your small group tour will enter the Cathedral to view the marvelous interior with it’s unique frescos.

Your Florence guide will also point out the charming Baptistery of Saint John, an example of Romanesque style architecture and Giotto’s Bell Tower, a fine example of Gothic Proto-Renaissance architecture. Admire the Baptistery Holy Door, coined as the Gates of Paradise by Michelangelo thanks to their opulent beauty. These three ton bronze doors have been revered not just due to their sheer size, but thanks to the gold reliefs which serve to tell the story of the Old Testament – a truly unique Renaissance masterpiece.

Your final stop along this tour is the one that you most likely came to see, the breathtaking masterpiece – Michelangelo’s David. You will be escorted directly into the Galleria dell’Accademia, avoiding often long and tiring lines. Your expert art history guide will then tell you stories of Michelangelo and his time in Florence, and how the Statue of David came to be.

Ponte Vecchio, LivItaly Florence Small Group Walking Tour

“She provided is with
enough information to enhance our
appreciation of the art pieces without
overloading us. The small group
walking tour was lovely too. We got
to see all the major attractions in the
city and ended at the Accademia with
Michelangelo’s David. It’s just perfect.”
– Marian – Spring Grove, Pennsylvania

Michelangelo’s Statue of David
Sculpted between 1501 and 1504, the David statue has transcended both time and culture to become one of the world’s most recognized and admired pieces of art. It was originally crafted to depict David from the Bible’s first book of Samuel, but today, anyone and everyone appreciates the miraculous ode to the human body.

Considered by many as the world’s greatest sculpture, it is impossible to visit Florence and not see the David, sculpted when Michelangelo was only 29 years old. Photographs and postcards alone do not do this 17-foot marble masterpiece justice.

Why You Should Book the Florence David Walking Tour

While it’s obvious that The Statue of the David is the highlight of this tour, it is by no means the only memory you will bring home with you from LivItaly’s Florence Walking Tour. Your expert tour guide will expose you to a side of Italy that we as Italians cherish most while simultaneously making sure you don’t miss out on any of the must-see attractions. You’ll have a lovely walk which will include most of the historic sites of Florence and end up at one of the masterpieces which you have dreamed of seeing in one of Florence’s most prestigious galleries. This tour is designed to optimize your time and ensure that you get the most out of your 3 hours – no lines to wait on and a small group so walking around town and through crowded museums is quick and comfortable.

ADD THE DUOMO OR BELL TOWER CLIMB AND TICKETS TO THE MUSEO DEL DUOMO

Add the possibility of climbing the Duomo of Florence 30 minutes after the tour is over. By adding the optional add-on, we will provide you with skip-the-line timed tickets to climb the Duomo after the tour is over. In case the Duomo is sold out, you will be able to climb the magnificent bell tower of the Church. In addition, the tickets also include access to the Museo del Duomo. Please bare in mind that these are subject to availability and that we will need full name and dates of birth of all participants in order to secure your climbs.

ABOUT OUR 6 PEOPLE SMALL GROUP POLICY
When you book a LivItaly Small Group Tour, you are guaranteed one tour guide per group of 6 people. Please bear in mind though that in order to accommodate traveling families and friends, we do on rare occasion make the exception of adding an additional one to two guests in order not to split groups who are traveling together. On that same note, you may find yourself on tour with less than six people. As we accept bookings in multiples of six, math doesn’t always work in our favor to help accommodate individual travelers and their families when on the same tour, so we hope you understand and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
