TOUR DESCRIPTION
There is no better way than to experience a city by foot. You will discover the Florence's secrets on this private guided walking tour. Experience the art and history of this remarkable city with visits to Santa Maria Novella, Piazza della Signoria and the famous Ponte Vecchio.
Your private discovery tour starts in the lively Piazza Santa Maria Novella, with the beautiful Dominican church of the same name (interior*), where you can appreciate great masterpieces such as Brunelleschi's Crucifix, and Masaccio's Trinity. You will then proceed through the characteristic little square of the Croce al Trebbio and along elegant Via Tornabuoni to reach Palazzo Strozzi.

A little further on you come to Palazzo Davanzati and the 14th century Palagio di Parte Guelfa by Brunelleschi. Shortly afterwards you reach the Ponte Vecchio, the "Jewelers' Bridge", one of the symbols of Florence;. You will then pass through the Piazzale degli Uffizi to enter Piazza della Signoria, a splendid "open-air sculpture museum", overlooked by the famous and imposing Palazzo Vecchio.

The tour continues through the heart of the Medieval city to Dante Alighieri's house and church, and on to the Cathedral Complex, where your tour ends.

This in-depth private tour is hosted by an English-speaking guide. Please list any special interests you have (art, architecture, history, culture) at time of booking to alert our guide, so that he or she can better prepare for your private tour.
