Itinerary

Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore

Passing by

Admire the majestic Florence Duomo from the outside as your private guide unveils its secrets—from Brunelleschi’s breathtaking dome to its intricately crafted façade. A private tour transforms this masterpiece into a living story, tailored to your pace and your interests, creating a truly unforgettable experience.
Battistero Di San Giovanni

Passing by

Admire the extraordinary Baptistery of San Giovanni from the outside, one of Florence’s most ancient and sacred monuments. Renowned for its striking octagonal architecture and the brilliant mosaics that illuminate its interior, the Baptistery is also home to the celebrated Gates of Paradise—gilded bronze doors that became milestones in the history of art.
Loggia dei Lanzi

30 min

In Piazza della Signoria, the main square of Florence, there is a remarkable monument named “Loggia dei Lanzi”, embellished with stunning masterpieces in bronze and marble, sculpted by masters from the Renaissance era. Going to this loggia, that was used for the public meetings, you will get in touch with the beauties of the golden age of Florence.
Piazza della Signoria

30 min

Experience the vibrant heart of Florence at the Piazza, a central meeting point adorned with a wealth of statues, including the intriguing 'fake David.' Beyond its artistic allure, the Piazza strategically connects to key landmarks such as Palazzo Vecchio, the Uffizi Gallery, and provides a direct route to the iconic Duomo. Immerse yourself in the cultural richness of Florence, where history and art converge in this centrally positioned hub.
Campanile di Giotto

Passing by

The Campanile di Giotto is one of the finest examples of Florentine Gothic architecture and a masterpiece of harmony, elegance, and geometric perfection. Rising alongside the Duomo, the bell tower was designed in 1334 by Giotto, who envisioned a structure that would combine vertical beauty with the rich decorative style typical of medieval Florence.

Clad in striking panels of white, green, and pink marble, the tower is adorned with intricate reliefs and sculptures created by masters such as Andrea Pisano and, later, Luca della Robbia. These artworks narrate themes of human creativity, biblical stories, and the development of the arts and sciences.
Ponte Vecchio

30 min

Discover the enchanting Ponte Vecchio, a medieval stone bridge celebrated globally for its beauty and unique charm. This iconic structure remains a vibrant center of local activity, with artisans and businesses still thriving on its storied surface. Unveiling a touch of mystery, the Ponte Vecchio is intricately linked to the 'Corridoio Vasariano.' Remarkably, during World War II, it escaped destruction as Hitler, in a rare decision, spared this bridge, attributing its preservation to its unparalleled beauty. Learn about its historical significance and the local tales surrounding its survival, making it a must-visit landmark in Florence.
Palazzo Pitti

Passing by

The tour concludes at the edge of the Oltrarno district, where you will admire Palazzo Pitti from the outside, one of Florence’s most imposing and majestic landmarks. Its grand Renaissance façade, built with massive rusticated stone blocks, immediately conveys the power and authority of the families who once lived within its walls.
