Florence Duomo, Uffizi and Accademia Galleries Full Day Guided Tour

Florence was the epicentre of the Italian Renaissance. The Black Death and the crises of the Church fostered a new era of philosophical and moral thinking. Many values that were prevalent in Medieval Europe were torn down by the dawn of a humanist culture that was inspired by the works of Boccaccio and Petrarch.

The Accademia, founded by Pietro Leopoldo in 1784, is one of the elite art museums in Florence. Michelangelo’s famous sculpture, David, is one of the main exhibits in the gallery. Many invaluable works of art from the 14th to the 18th century are displayed here. The Uffizi Gallery is the other highlight of this tour. It attracts a massive portion of the tourists who visit the country and remains one of the most important museums in the region. The gallery recently underwent a massive renovation project. It can now accommodate double the original volume of visitors.

Il Duomo di Firenze is another magnificent aspect of Florence. The dome was completed in 1436 by Filippo Brunelleschi. There is much to see and do in the city of Florence, and this tour does its best to give you the most comprehensive experience you can have in a single day.
