Florence private tour The symbol city of the Renaissance
Explore Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, on a captivating outdoor walking tour through its historic center, where art, history, and architecture come alive. Start at the Basilica of Saint Maria Novella, admired for its elegant marble façade, then continue to the Basilica of Saint Lorenzo, closely linked to the Medici family and its unfinished Michelangelo façade. Walk through artisan streets to reach Piazza del Duomo, home to the Cathedral of Saint Maria del Fiore, Giotto’s Bell Tower, and the Baptistery of Saint Giovanni—icons of Florence’s artistic heritage. Continue to Piazza del Mercato Nuovo with the lucky “Porcellino”, then admire the legendary Ponte Vecchio and its historic goldsmith shops. Follow the Vasari Corridor view along the Arno before reaching Piazza della Signoria, the political heart of Florence with Palazzo Vecchio and Michelangelo’s David replica. End the experience at the stunning Basilica of Saint Croce, resting place of Italy’s greatest figures.

Where this sits in Florence
Florence is about 8 min by road from Florence Peretola Airport. Compact enough to cross on foot in half an hour, and holding more Renaissance art than most countries. Busy in the middle and calm five minutes out; the Oltrarno side of the river is where people actually live and eat.
