Mobile ticket

Experience the Tuscan capital's top attractions on a small-group walking tour through Florence. Begin with skip-the-line access to view Michelangelo's 'David' in the Accademia Gallery and the Duomo. Afterwards your guide takes you to Piazza della Signoria, an open-air art gallery where Michelangelo's David was originally supposed to stand. Then explore the streets of Florence, taking in landmarks like the Ponte Vecchio bridge, Palazzo della Signoria e Piazza della Repubblica.

If you select the VIP David & Duomo option at time of booking, instead of a Florence walking tour, you'll spend more time in the Duomo, getting exclusive access to the Duomo's North Terrace and climbing to the top of the Dome for stunning panoramic views of Florence.

    We had a wonderful tour with Elena! It was very educational and allowed us to skip massive lines at both the museum and the duomo. Well worth the money. Highly recommend!

    The guide was very good but you stand around for a long time. I was expecting the Duomo and the climb but they are closed Sundays. Why sell a ticket with that on it when you know the date we booked it

  • Great tour of Florence with David

    Our guide, Alma was great. Very nice, knowledgeable and engaging. Gave the right amount of time at each point and answered questions easily. Our teenage boys - who have short attention spans - had a little trouble with the 2.5 hour length of the tour but we thought it was a good amount of time, given the amount of information and places covered.

  • Great tour to see the highlights in Florence
