This is a perfect option to know the city in one day! You will learn about history of Florence and modern life, you will try typical food and wine from the region. It can be only a walking tour or we can add one or two museums in the itinerary. If you are interested in something particular, please tell me, so I will make an accent on it.
The Essence of Florence
Our walking tour focuses on the main historical districts of the center of Florence. We start from the religious center, admiring the exterior of the Duomo complex, composed of the Cathedral with the famous Dome by Brunelleschi, the Giotto Bell-tower and the Romanesque Baptistry with the Gates of Paradise. Then we will go on towards the political area, with the Signoria palace, the Uffizi palace and the New Market. After crossing the Old Bridge, we reach the Oltrarno, seat of the Pitti Palace.

The city’s historic centre will be the spectacular frame for this walking tour dedicated to Florence’s glorious past as well as its vibrant modern life. The slow pace will allow you to discover and enjoy the most important monuments of the birthplace of the Renaissance. Together we will cross the most famous beautiful and important sights of Florence and we visit one of the world's famous museums, the Uffizi Gallery.
The David Experience
The story of David would inspire many sculptures and paintings during the Italian Renaissance, with Christian themes being prevalent within art at this time. It would be the specific tale of David overcoming Goliath that would be featured most often, as artists looked to harness this powerful tale as inspiration for their own work. Even just within this single art movement, there would be many different interpretations, and each generation would influence the next with their own innovations.

Michelangelo's David 3-H Walking Tour and Accademia
“Great historical, architectural and art knowledge. ”
We had an excellent walking tour. She had a great knowledge of the city, the architecture and the museums. She gave great perspective of how to identify who made what and how facades were remodeled based on the period. Our tour ended at the Accademia. We had an easy time getting in for our time slot. Be sure to purchase your tickets separately in advance of your trip!

“Extremely knowledgable and flexible specialist in Florence and Tuscany”
I would recommend Manolis to any American desiring to get the most out of a trip to Florence and Tuscany. He is a native English speaker, so no accent, but has lived and studied in Florence for many years. We wanted to get out of Florence for a few days, and Manolis not only designed a tour, but found us a driver who was almost as wonderful as he. He was a wonderful leader to our family group, which included young adults visiting for the first time. Prior to our visit, he worked extra hard to recommend hotels and thought about how the tours would go. Our 3 days included a half-day tour of the Uffizi which he personally guided and made the museum reservations for us. We spent an additional two days visiting cities outside Florence, including Siena, Pisa and San Gimignano. He recommended a few additions which turned out to be the highlight of our tour. I would work with him again in a minute.
