LivItaly’s Private Florence Walking Tour with the David is for travelers who want to experience the beautiful Medieval city of Florence with an expert guide who will take you on a memorable stroll full of art and history! The highlight of this tour may be Michelangelo’s David, but it is only one of the many attractions you will see in this mecca of Renaissance art. Just a few of the major sites you can expect to find on your Florence walking tour include the Palazzo Vecchio, Giotto’s Bell Tower, Ponte Vecchio Bridge and of course, Michelangelo’s David.

Florence may be a relatively small city, but as the birthplace of Renaissance art, this city is concentrated with some of Italy’s finest so having a private tour guide by your side will help you go beyond the surface, and show you why Florence is considered one of the most prestigious Italian art cities. This tour also includes direct access into the Galleria dell’Accademia where you can waste no time to see Michelangelo’s David.

About LivItaly’s Private Florence Walking Tour with the David

Your Private Florence Walking Tour begins anywhere from 9AM to 4PM, depending on your schedule, where you will meet your tour guide at the Piazza della Signoria, a common meeting point for tourists and locals thanks to its central location. Your guide will now walk you over to the Palazzo Vecchio and marvel over the frontispiece statues and fountains, but do not fall into the trap of believing the David you see standing tall is Michelangelo’s master work. This is just a replica of Michelangelo’s David, giving you a taste of what’s to come.

Your Florence guide will now accompany you across the River Arno onto the Ponte Vecchio Bridge. You are sure to be tempted by the numerous jewelry shops nestled along both sides of this Medieval bridge or perhaps you will be too enchanted by its colorful charm. It is one of the most photographed sites in Florence so take a few photos yourself as a keepsake of your trip.

Your Florence walk will now continue along picturesque Renaissance streets where some of the greatest artists have walked before you – Michelangelo, Dante Alighieri, Botticelli and plenty more. But these artists can almost be considered “contemporary” once you hear your guide tell you stories of how the modern day Piazza della Repubblica was once home to an Ancient Roman Forum.

Your Florence tour guide will help you make your way towards the Duomo, which holds Bruneleschi’s masterpiece that towers over the 15th century Gothic cathedral known as the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore. Look up and admire Brunelleschi’s Dome which is said to have been inspired by the magnificent engineering of the Pantheon in Rome. This marvel in engineering has earned its place as a permanent fixture in the Florentine skyline. With your *skip-the-line ticket that your guide will give you you will get direct access to climb the Florence dome after the tour at your own leisure.

One of your next stops will be Florence’s oldest, and perhaps most ornate building – the Romanesque style Baptistery of Saint John, as well as Giotto’s Bell Tower, and example of Gothic Proto-Renaissance style.

Your Florence Walking Tour will now close with a visit to the famous Galleria dell’Accademia, where you get direct access into this world-famous art gallery so as not to waste a minute of your time on line. You have waited long enough to see the main attraction – Michelangelo’s original the David statue. It’s majestic stature is sure to impress. Feel free to take look around and enjoy the rest of the artwork throughout the gallery.

“Raffaela is very
knowledgable, she provided
us with enough information to
enhance our appreciation of
the art pieces. The walking
tour was lovely too, ended
at the Accademia with
the David. Just perfect!”
– Marian – Spring Grove,
Pennsylvania

THE DAVID
The highlight of this Florence walking tour is without a doubt Michelangelo’s David. Standing an impressive 17 feet high, the David is one of the most iconic statues ever produced in the Western world. Amazingly, Michelangelo completed this work when he was only 29 years old. The statue was instantly hailed as a masterpiece and is still considered a major symbol of Florentine identity. Artists from around the Western world have made their pilgrimage to this amazingly detailed statue ever since it was unveiled in September of 1504.
