Discover the magic of Florence in a single day on our Best of Florence and Uffizi Gallery Tour, visiting all of the famous sites and skipping the long lines - at the Accademia to see the imposing David and at the Uffizi to see Botticelli’s masterpieces - and enjoy the complex beauty of the Duomo and the hidden architectural gems of the city center. Your morning begins with the Best of Florence tour, with Skip-the-Line access to the Accademia Gallery where you will have the unique opportunity to marvel at Michelangelo's statue of the Slaves and his magnificent 17-foot marble masterpiece, David. Then, you will enjoy a comprehensive walking tour visiting the most famous sites of the city center including the Duomo, with a tour of the inside, as well as the Ponte Vecchio. Ask your guide for recommendations for the best lunch spots, pizza, pasta or some local specialties - it's your choice! We give you plenty of free time to enjoy lunch as you wish before we meet again for the next portion of our tour. The second half of our day will begin at the Uffizi Gallery, where you’ll have the chance to behold in person the immediately recognizable works of Botticelli: Birth of Venus and Primavera. The Uffizi contains signature works of the Italian masters, including Michelangelo and da Vinci. Listen as your expert English speaking guide recount fascinating stories about the lives of the artists, celebrated architects and wealthy patrons that contributed to the gallery. This very special visit concludes atop the gallery with a lovely view of the city center from the rooftop terrace. Our semi-Pprivate Uffizi tour travels in groups of 14 people or less, so your guide is even easier to hear and interact with. They'll also have more flexibility to cater the tour to your group's needs and interests. Please note that every first Sunday of the month the Accademia is free for everyone, and skip-the-line access is not guaranteed. In order to avoid long queues, we don't visit the Accademia on those days, but offer an extended walking tour of the city instead, including Ponte Vecchio, Pitti Palace (exterior view), and the characteristic and typical area of Santo Spirito. Guests will receive a partial refund. The tour ends at the Uffizi Gallery around 4:30pm.
