Local operator · Piazza della Santissima Annunziata
A day with a guide between the two most famous galleries in Florence: the David at the Accademia in the morning, the Uffizi in the afternoon and, in the full option, the historic centre on foot in between. This is for those with only one day in the city who want the museums and main squares without organising anything.
The meeting point is under the equestrian statue of Ferdinando I de' Medici, in Piazza della Santissima Annunziata. It starts at the Accademia Gallery, with a guided visit in front of Michelangelo's David. In the full-day option the guide continues on foot: the exterior of the Duomo of Santa Maria del Fiore, the Mercato del Porcellino with the bronze boar, Piazza della Signoria with Palazzo Vecchio and Ponte Vecchio. After a free break for lunch, you enter the Uffizi, again with the guide, among Botticelli's Birth of Venus and Leonardo's Annunciation.
Two things to know before booking. The Duomo is only seen from outside: entry is among the excluded items. And the walk in the centre is only in the full-day option: in the half-day option, the listing states, the places marked as optional are not visited. The duration therefore ranges from 4 to 7 hours, depending on the option. Groups are a maximum of 15 people and the guide speaks English.
The price starts from $100 per person (GetYourGuide, October 2026). The listing indicates a timed ticket for the Accademia "worth €20" and one for the Uffizi "worth €29". The official Uffizi ticket costs €25 if you buy it on the day and €29 if you buy it in advance, on tickets.uffizi.it, at the call centre or at the ticket office: you can find it on the Uffizi prices page and in the Uffizi ticket guide. Food, drinks, tips and hotel pickup remain excluded.
Under the equestrian statue of Ferdinando I de' Medici, at number 2 of the square. Comfortable shoes: the only thing the listing asks you to bring.
The day begins with the guided tour of the Accademia and Michelangelo's David seen up close.
Only in the full-day option: the exterior of the Duomo, the Porcellino Market, where the guide invites you to rub the boar's snout and throw a coin in the fountain, then Piazza della Signoria, Palazzo Vecchio and Ponte Vecchio.
In the full-day option there is free time to eat on your own: food and drinks are not included.
Final stop, the guided tour of the Uffizi, with Botticelli's Birth of Venus and Leonardo's Annunciation among the works cited by the listing.
★★★★★Very nice tour on what was probably the hottest day of the summer in Florence this year. Elia was patient and knowledgeable in answering many different questions [...]. We focused on the main works, but honestly after our almost 3.5 hours I had had enough.
★★★★★Very educational. Marco, our guide, was very passionate about Michelangelo and the Medici. We learned so much!
★★★★★The guide, Alejandra, gave us a very enriching morning. Very pleasant and very knowledgeable, she made the difference. Very patient and with an excellent attitude.
★★★★★Francesca was really good. She knew a lot, kept a good pace. She also gave us useful tips.
