Florence
Discover the cradle of the Renaissance on an unforgettable private day trip to Florence, exploring the historic San Lorenzo quarter, Michelangelo’s iconic David at the Accademia, and the artistic legacy of the Medici dynasty.
The Tour
Leave the Eternal City behind for an inspiring journey north through the rolling Tuscan countryside to Florence, the dazzling cradle of the Renaissance. Your private English-speaking driver greets you directly at your hotel lobby in Rome in a luxury vehicle, ensuring a smooth, comfortable transfer into the artistic and cultural heart of Tuscany.
Your arrival in Florence brings you to the vibrant historic quarter of San Lorenzo. Stroll past the colorful outdoor market stalls and artisan leather workshops that have defined this neighborhood for generations. Here, you will discover the monumental Basilica di San Lorenzo—the parish church of the ruling Medici family—and the opulent Medici Chapels, offering an intimate window into the dynasty whose visionary patronage shaped the course of Western art and culture.
The journey continues to the world-renowned Accademia Gallery, where you will stand in awe before Michelangelo’s peerless masterpiece, the David, marveling at its anatomical precision, tension, and emotional power. For travelers wishing to immerse themselves even deeper into Renaissance art, your itinerary can be customized upon request to include a visit to the breathtaking Uffizi Gallery, home to legendary works by Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, and Raphael.
With time to wander toward the iconic Duomo, browse charming artisan boutiques, or savor a classic Tuscan lunch at a local trattoria, your day in Florence is both enriching and effortless. When your sightseeing concludes, sit back and unwind as your driver escorts you comfortably back to your hotel in Rome.
* Note that the Accademia would take 40 min to visit and Uffizi about 2 hours.
*** It is recommended to visit only on of them for you to have more time in the city.
Please note that the Accademia and the Uffizi museum are closed on Mondays!
