Start the day with skip-the-line access to the Accademia Gallery, home to Michelangelo’s 'David.' Nothing prepares you for the scale of this sculptural masterpiece. Your guide helps you appreciate the artistry from every angle, including the techniques Michelangelo used to make marble look smooth as butter.

The highlight of the city walking tour is the Florence Cathedral, whose incredible red dome is the city’s crown jewel. The dome was not without challenges for architect Filippo Brunelleschi, as your guide explains while you view the masterpiece from outside. Entrance to the Duomo is always free, so you can come back at any time to explore the cathedral in more depth, equipped with an abundance of knowledge shared by your expert, local guide.

Your tour continues through the historic center of Florence, taking in the Piazza Signoria, where 'David' once stood.

Skip the line once more at the Uffizi Gallery. Our coordinator will hand you the ticket to enter this immense gallery where you will visit at your own pace, wasting no time in showcasing works by Da Vinci, Botticelli, and Titian. Don’t forget to rub the nose of 'Il Porcellino,' Pietro Tacca’s Baroque bronze boar sculpture, to bring the rest of your vacation good luck.

Whether you’re only in Florence for a day or settling in for a longer stay, this is the perfect introduction to a city where beauty awaits around every corner.

Annette was amazing. She knew so much about the history of Florence, and was very entertaining and engaging. So warm and friendly. Not to mention skipping the lines on a busy day in Florence was dreamy!

Missed expectations on what was outlined and what was delivered. We met at Uffizi - great guide christoph- but tour was outlined as guided visit to two museums. This was VERY different. It was supposed to be skip the line uffizi and Accademia. We were told to come back at 3pm (tour was at 10am) to get tickets to see unguided tour of Uffizi. We had plans in afternoon as tour was listed as 2-2.5 hours so did not get to see Uffizi at all! It also said guided tour of David which also did not happen. We were unceremoniously dropped at door if Accademia. Very disappointed in how this transpired. Most of the people in tour also had same expectations as we did. Refunds should be provided.

I have booked a lot of tours with Viator and I need to say that this was the most disappointing. First thing, the tour details were changed somewhere between booking and going. Visiting Uffizi and Accademia without a guide was very disappointing, this is what we had booked. The walking part of the tour was great!

Our guide was friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable. Also, as a self-appointed gelato expert, she pointed out the best gelato stops along the route. A big plus!

the lines for accademia are quite long so the skip the line option is very nice. the guide was very good. there was a nice walking tour and then a self tour of uffizi and accademia. the exhibits are well marked providing information so I'm not sure how much more a guide would add.

Angelo was one of the best and most knowledgeable guides I’ve ever had. He was entertaining and insightful and brought the history of Florence’s place as the birthplace of the Renaissance to live.

Make sure you read the everything and understand what you’re getting before you book. It’s a walking tour (which was good) with skip the line tickets to the Accademia, then a three hour break before you can get your tickets to Uffizi, neither of which are guided.

Our guide was great and we enjoyed his commentary on the area and the republic and takeover by the Medici Family. Was surprised that it didn’t include a tour of either museum.

Great guide, poor information from Viator
Alan_S
, Sep 2021
Melania was a great guide, used her iPad with pix integrated for the tour, and had a good pace. The downside: Viator didn’t explain the structure & times needed for the tour… we had to bail on a later ticket purchase. Also, the lack of a guide in the Uffizi was disappointing, especially since we saw other guides inside… as if Viator was too cheap to hire a 2nd guide since we had a larger group. More information given the $ spent feels overdue. Not sure I would trust Viator again.
