About this activity

An in-depth afternoon tour, viewing world-famous paintings, art and landscapes. Starting in the picturesque hills surrounding Florence, our tour bus will travel the leafy streets, taking in sweeping vistas until we reach the tiny Etruscan-Roman village of Fiesole, with its central square. From here the views of the Arno Valley and Florence are sublime. On our return trip to the city along the Lungarni, located on the banks of the River Arno, to the Basilica di Santa Croce, the principal Franciscan church in the city. Next, your knowledgeable guide will lead you to the L-shaped Piazza Della Signoria, famous for its political and social history. Overlooked by the Palazzo Vecchio, many famous statues stand under the arches of the Loggia de Lanzi, including Cellini’s famous statue of Perseus holding Medusa’s head aloft, reminding us of the power of the Medici family. We will finish inside the Uffizi Gallery. The seemingly endless list of Renaissance masterpieces of the great Italian artists displayed here includes works of Botticelli, Raphael, Michelangelo, Leonardo and Giotto. Stay as long as you like, even when the tour is over.
