Meet your private and expert guide at your hotel and start the most complete and thrilling guided walking tour: you will visit the peculiar Central market zone, characterized by its workshops and multi-coloured stalls, where the Medici Chapels, and Basilica di S. Lorenzo, the church of Medici’s Family, are located.

In a short time, you can reach Piazza del Duomo, where you can admire the Cathedral (interior visit*) and its dome by Brunelleschi, the bell-tower by Giotto and Saint John Baptistery with its Paradise Door (exterior visit). The private tour continues by visiting the medieval quarters where Dante Alighieri and Beatrice lived.

Further on you can find Palazzo del Bargello. Not too far, there is Piazza della Signoria, a great “open-air sculpture museum”, overlooked by the imposing Palazzo Vecchio. Next to the Uffizi Gallery, one of the most important museums in the world. Then your expert Guide will be glad to escort you to the picturesque Mercato della Paglia (Straw market), where the famous Piglet Fountain is located. You walk along the street that leads to Ponte Vecchio, the “Jewels Bridge”.

By crossing the bridge, you will reach the wonderful Pitti Palace where your private tour ends.

Important information

The access to the Cathedral is not bookable, so the internal visit will only be possible if there is no long line. The Cathedral is closed on Sunday morning, on National Holidays and during religious celebrations.
