– Enjoy a look at Florentine life with our comprehensive tour. Visit the imposing Duomo, the Accademia Gallery, which houses Michelangelo's "David," and the breathtaking Uffizi Gallery. Explore the streets of the historic center on a walking tour that unveils the city's treasures.Begin with what is on most visitors' to-do lists when visiting Florence: see "David" at the Accademia, where skip-the-line access means you don't have to wait in the notoriously long lines outside. You also sail past the line when you visit the Florence Cathedral and explore the enormous dome that tops it.

Journey into the unspoiled streets and wander past the picture-perfect Ponte Vecchio and the impressive sculptures in the Uffizi Courtyard, as well as some lesser-known spots, including the local leather market.
