Morning Tour: Best of Florence - depending on time selected Afternoon Tour: Uffizi Gallery - 3:30 PM Meet near the Uffizi gallery, at the end of Piazzale degli Uffizi nearest the Arno River, just at the base of a statue of Galileo Galilei (facing the Arno River, the statue is in the right corner)

This activity will end right where it started.
Start the day with skip-the-line access to the Accademia Gallery, home to Michelangelo’s 'David.' Nothing prepares you for the scale of this sculptural masterpiece. Your guide helps you appreciate the artistry from every angle, including the techniques Michelangelo used to make marble look smooth as butter.

The highlight of the city walking tour is the Florence Cathedral, whose incredible red dome is the city’s crown jewel. The dome was not without challenges for architect Filippo Brunelleschi, as your guide explains while you view the masterpiece from outside. Entrance to the Duomo is always free, so you can come back at any time to explore the cathedral in more depth, equipped with an abundance of knowledge shared by your expert, local guide.

Your tour continues through the historic center of Florence, taking in the Piazza Signoria, where 'David' once stood.

Skip the line once more at the Uffizi Gallery. Our coordinator will hand you the ticket to enter this immense gallery where you will visit at your own pace, wasting no time in showcasing works by Da Vinci, Botticelli, and Titian. Don’t forget to rub the nose of 'Il Porcellino,' Pietro Tacca’s Baroque bronze boar sculpture, to bring the rest of your vacation good luck.

Whether you’re only in Florence for a day or settling in for a longer stay, this is the perfect introduction to a city where beauty awaits around every corner.

We really enjoyed this...
Chris_G
, Jul 2022
We really enjoyed this tour! Annabetta was so knowledgeable. We came away with a much better understanding of Florence's history and what makes the David statue so impressive. We appreciated the individual headsets that were distributed, which made it much easier to hear our guide as she navigated us through the city as well as inside the Accademia, where there were many other people surrounding David. The scheduled entrance to the Uffizi was really nice, although we wish we had a little more time to get through it all. There is so much there and we were probably a little too leisurely with our time at the beginning because we ended up having to rush through the last few exhibits since the museum was closing-we almost missed the Caravaggio works at the end of the gallery. All in all, this was a great way to see these two impressive art galleries.

Most horrible tour ever,...!!!
Andreas_G
, Jul 2022
Most horrible tour i ever had in my life!!! It was called a half day tour, after 1,5hours we arrived at the Accademia Gallery, the tour guide got the entrance tickets, collected the radios and explained the the tour is over and have fun insede the gallery! This is what you call a half day tour,...??? When i booked the tour over the phone the operator explained to me very much different how the tour will go and that it will take half a day! In my opinion half a day is at least 5-6hours but not after 1,5hours everything is technically over (30min to get into the gallery)! Accademia Gallery Other hand your charged 94Euros for 90min,... Thats a rip off!!! From the beginning you can feel that the lady tour guide is doing the least the get quick to the gallery so her job is done,...!! To be honest, I never will recommend VIATOR Tours to anyone!!! Until today i feel so cheated from you!!!!

Easy Access to Accademia and Uffizi
Andrew_F
, Jul 2022
When I booked this tour I imagined a guided tour inside the museums. This is not a tour that includes that. Having said that, this tour gave a great walking tour of the outside areas in the piazza vecchio and an in introduction to the Accademia and the Uffizi. The tour provided tickets and entry without terrible lines. If I come back to Florence I might do a guided tour in the Uffizi. It is large and crowded. After two and a half hours we were exhausted even though we wanted to see more. As a first visit, this tour was excellent, but I get that you need to see the museum more than once. The audio is very limited and only a few pieces have descriptions via the device. There is a three hour break between the two museums which was an opportunity for a leisurely lunch. The take home for booking this tour: 1) Easy access to both premier museums; 2) A guided tour of the piazza vecchio which was excellent; 3) no guide within the musuems; 4) a refreshing break between museums; 5) The Uffizi is immense, crowded, and you can't see everything; and 6) The Accademia is easily seen without a guide and you can see the whole museum in this visit.

We booked for a 6 hours...

We booked for a 6 hours tour including the Academia and the Uffizzi, and we were given a 2 hours tour with a ticket for the Academia. The tour was advertised for a Mx 6 people and in fact accepted over 12 people. No instructions given as to where the tour meets unless I called to inquire. Iona Sebastian

Guide didn't show, no call, only partial refund :(
Sabrina_A
, Jun 2022
We were 15 minutes late arriving to Florence (due to a late disembarkation from our cruise ship that was no fault of our own), and despite informing Viator, the tour left without us. We asked if we could meet them at the Accademia, and it was very challenging to try to coordinate through Viator with the guide. We ultimately did find them and got in with the tour, but he literally just gave us tickets and sent us in by ourselves. We were told to meet the next guide several hours later at the Uffizi. We and several others waited where we were told and the guide never showed. I finally called the company and was told the trip was cancelled because of the Ufizzi had canceled our tickets and had no more for the day. We promptly went inside and were told that was not the case, paid (again) for our tickets and explored the museum for what was left of the day. Sadly, we could have spent an additional several hours in the museum had we not waited for the guide that never showed. It really ruined the experience for us, especially since that was the main attraction my parents wanted to visit. To top it off, we were only partially refunded, and not even the cost of our Ufizzi tickets.

Day in Florence
Donna_J
, May 2022
This was a good tour and we learned alot about history and the Florence area. My only concern is that the tour is split in 2 parts and it was not entirely clear how the afternoon at Uffizi was supposed to go. It worked out fine but we did have to ask at the end of the morning session to find out the time and confirm the meeting spot.

Was told it would be a guided tour of the Academia but it was not. Was not informed of how to get the Uffizi part of the tour. Very disappointed. Guide was good, but company should have followed up in writing on where and when to meet for the Uffizi.

Do not take this tour. It was not as described. The guide gave very little useful information and some of it was incorrect. The tour was overpriced and a waste of time. Several others in our group felt the same.

Florence walking tour
Amerigo_C
, Jan 2022
Our tour guide, Annette, was very knowledgeable. She gave a narrated tour from the Ponte Vecchio to the Accademia that was extremely informative. There she gave us our tickets to enter the Accademia and see Michelangelo’s David as well as other art works without narration. We obtained our tickets to the Uffizzi from another City Wonders agent three hours later near the entrance. This tour was without narration, and where we were supposed to enter was confusing. The line was long but moved quickly. There was a very large crowd inside, which overwhelmed my wife and me, but our two adult children pressed on and enjoyed seeing art works by many different masters.

Not as advertised
Melissa_H

Missed expectations on what was outlined and what was delivered. We met at Uffizi - great guide christoph- but tour was outlined as guided visit to two museums. This was VERY different. It was supposed to be skip the line uffizi and Accademia. We were told to come back at 3pm (tour was at 10am) to get tickets to see unguided tour of Uffizi. We had plans in afternoon as tour was listed as 2-2.5 hours so did not get to see Uffizi at all! It also said guided tour of David which also did not happen. We were unceremoniously dropped at door if Accademia. Very disappointed in how this transpired. Most of the people in tour also had same expectations as we did. Refunds should be provided.
