What to expect

Your guide will meet you at your hotel and walk you through Florence's centre, stopping at significant buildings and squares to set the scene. You'll spend time in the Uffizi first, working through galleries in a logical sequence—the guide will point out technical shifts and patronage networks that explain why these paintings matter. After a break, you'll head to the Accademia to see Michelangelo's David and other works. Expect queues at both galleries, even with pre-booked tickets. You'll be on your feet most of the day, moving between rooms and climbing stairs.
