What makes The Best of Florence Private Walking Tour with a Local Guide a unique experience ?
Your accredited Florentine tour guide will show you all major religious of Florence: from St. John’s Baptistery and its splendid bronze doors to Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral with its spectacular marble decoration and its superb dome, the highest building in town and Giotto’s belltower, an open air museum of sculpture.
You will also walk through the narrow streets with some quite old towers as a memory of medieval life in Florence.
Its modern buildings, famous cafès, luxury shops, hotels and carrousel, Piazza della Repubblica’s thriumphal arch celebrates the site as the “ancient centre” of Florence, founded by Romans about two thousands years ago!
You will admire the spectacular exterior of the unique Orsamichele building, originally service as a huge marketplace and then transformed into the church of all Florentine workers with the richest collection of Renaissance statues at one time!
Piazza della Signoria continues to be the political centre of Florence with its Palazzo Vecchio still hosting the meetings of the city counsil.
Its magnificent castle-looking aspect, the presence of world famous statues from the 16th century all around it, its richly decorated courtyard also reminding the period when the Medici family was living in it.
Your guide will then head to the Arno River through the Piazzale degli Uffizi, the magnificent seat of Florence bureaucracy at the time of the Medici grand-dukes, then transformed into the most important Italian painting gallery.
Admire the glittering shopwindows of world famous Ponte Vecchio’s goldsmiths, while crossing this medieval bridge constructed in the 1340s and wonder at the incredible Vasari Corridor, the overhead passageway constructed by Giorgio Vasari in 1565 for Cosimo de’ Medici
