Explore Florentine art and architecture on a tour that gets you past the typical long lines at the Accademia Gallery and the Duomo. You'll breeze past the long line to marvel at Michelangelo’s statue of David, granting you incredible insight into the mind of a master. After, you’ll stop at Piazza del Duomo outside the Baptistery and check out the incredible bronze-cast doors by Lorenzo Ghiberti, coined the "Gates of Paradise" by Michelangelo. Continue on to the jewel of Florence, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, with a special skip-the-line entrance up to the terraces—an exclusive space rarely visited by the general public. You’re welcome to continue your journey up to the top of Florence by climbing to the top of the dome to soak up even more spectacular views of the city. With all entrance fees included, an expert guide, and a small group of just 18 guests max for a more intimate experience, there’s no better way to see Florence’s top attractions.

I appreciated all of the historical context and background Elena provided before getting up close to David. And the trek up all of those steps to the tippy top of the Duomo is absolutely worth it!

Such a bonus to have skip the line tickets!! Lines were so long and we were very grateful! It's overwhelming the beauty of the sculptures. Just mind blowing actually! We learned the secrets of marble and green demands of Michelangelo. What a gift he was to the world!!
