4.Florence in a Day: Michelangelo’s David, Uffizi and Guided City Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,048 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $134

Spend about five hours with an expert English-speaking guide exploring Michelangelo’s David, Florence’s central sights, and the Uffizi. Timed entry saves museum time, while guides such as Elena, Stefano, Greta, and Angelo add art and local context. Expect a brisk walking pace, breaks, and up to 15 people.

“It’s not a full day - for the price I expected more content. The 2 gallery tours were good but we skimped on other things, for example we didn’t go inside the duomo or visit ponte vecchio or the central market even though we had plenty of time. The tour was 9:45-2:15 with 1 1/2 hours of breaks. - so only 4 hours of actual tour. Therefore overpriced. The guide Stefano was knowledgeable about art history and was very informative.”

5.Florence Walking Tour with Accademia, Uffizi & Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,033 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $136

You’ll see David, the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, and Medici landmarks, then stop for a three-course Tuscan lunch. Guides such as Alicia, Ilaria, and Riccardo have earned praise for their art commentary.

“When I signed up I thought it was one tour. It turns out each venue was separate with different tour guides such as the tour in Accademia, the historic walk, lunch and the Uffizi. It was our responsibility to get to each place on our own and it was very uncomfortable when you are not familiar with the area and you get lost which gives the chance of missing an excursion. Four times we had to find each place and it was stressful. I would highly recommend having one tour guide or at least have someone with you to guide you to each venue. All of the guides in each…”

“This trip combines a beautiful country hike with information about the artists who lived in this area, especially Vincent Van Gogh. Victor clearly loves the Impressionists, especially Van Gogh. While I certainly could have looked up this route online and done this walk, Victor added so much context to the route, houses and villages, while keeping up a running history of Impressionism and Van Gogh’s life. I really enjoyed it! The walk is mostly flat with an uphill section.”
