Florence in a day private tour

The ideal city tour, especially if you are a first time visitor! With fast track tickets to Uffizi and Accademia

We’ll start with a historical presentation from the foundation of Florentia as a Roman colony, up to its growth in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance as one of the most important capitals in Europe.
I’ll tell you about the many men and women who were protagonists of the greatness of Florence, such as the Medici for politics and economics, Michelangelo for art, Dante for literature, Galileo for the sciences…just to name a few among the most universally known. We’ll visit the religious and political centers of Florence, the most important museums of the city including the Accademia and the Uffizi, where I’ll tell you about artists who led the evolution of the Western art.I am not going to give you a lecture – unless you want to – I’ll be informative but I won’t overdo with too many dates and names, I’ll make your visit fun with anecdotes and legends, you’ll have time to enjoy a typical local meal, coffee, ice cream: I know you are here on holiday and your holiday is meant to be relaxing and fun!
