About this activity
Travel from Rome to Florence on an 11-hour guided day trip, exploring the Renaissance heartland with curated stops at iconic landmarks, art treasures, and local dining. This semi-private tour combines comfortable coach transfers with guided walking time, letting you experience the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, and Piazza della Signoria without the stress of self-navigation.
Explore the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and one of the most romantic cities in Europe on a full-day trip to Florence, driving across Italy to walk along medieval streets and admire art and architecture by Michelangelo, Brunelleschi and more.
Relax on the transfer from Rome. Upon arrival you are free to explore, to see sights such as the impressive Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, topped by Brunelleschi's majestic dome. Go to Piazza della Signoria to see Renaissance sculptures in the square, including a copy of Michelangelo's “David” in the courtyards of Palazzo della Signoria, Duomo and more. Stroll along the banks of the Arno River, crossing the covered Ponte Vecchio for some of the best views of Florence. Florence is also a great city for shopping, and there will be plenty of time to discover leather markets and stores selling talian and international goods.
