Service Description

Discover Florence in just three hours with a tour combining a guided visit of the historic center (2 hours) and the ascent of Brunelleschi’s famous dome (1 hour). An ideal experience to understand the essentials of the city while admiring one of its greatest masterpieces. We will begin with a walk through the heart of Florence, the true cradle of the Renaissance. As we stroll through its streets and squares, you will discover the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Piazza della Signoria, the Church of Orsanmichele, the Uffizi Gallery (exterior), the Vasari Corridor, Ponte Vecchio, and Pitti Palace. I will share the fascinating history of Florence, its artists, its powerful families, and the anecdotes that have shaped its identity. We will then continue with the ascent of the dome, Brunelleschi’s brilliant creation.

Once there, you will enjoy a spectacular panoramic view over the city and its rooftops.
