Florence

Florence day trip from Milan 

The tour will begin with your private driver collecting you from your hotel in Milan (another custom location in the area can be agreed) with a luxury sedan or minivan, and after 3H drive you will reach Florence. As the ‘pearl of the Renaissance’, Florence hosts an incredible number of magnificent monuments, museums and churches. You can explore the well-preserved architecture of the historical center and meet Michelangelo’s David at the Accademia Gallery.

You will meet your official local guide and start a 3H walking tour in the magnificent center of Florence starting from the cathedral, the basilica of Saint Mary of the Flower, also known as the Duomo. You’ll visit this impressive church and see its many works of art. Just outside, the San Giovanni Baptistry, and you’ll learn about the history of this old octagonal building. Next stop the bell tower, a great example of Florentine Gothic architecture by Giotto. You will then reach Piazza Signoria walking along Via dei Calzaiuoli. The square is dominated by Palazzo Vecchio and Loggia dei Lanzi, with its statues and Neptune’s fountain. The walk will continue through the courtyard of the Uffizi and heading towards the Arno river, arriving to the world famous Ponte Vecchio.

If you wish to see the David by Michelangelo, probably the most famous sculpture in the world, we can make reservation for skip the line tickets (this is optional and not included).

Just after your guided tour, you will have some free time for shopping and taste authentic Tuscan food for lunch. You private guide will be happy to suggest you some of the best restaurants and cafès.

After lunch, the tour will conclude and your private driver will take you back to your hotel in Milan or other desired location.
