What to expect
After pickup from Livorno port, you'll travel by private car into Florence's centre. Your guide meets you to lead a walking tour of the city's Renaissance quarters, discussing the artistic movements and historical context that shaped the region. You'll navigate to the Accademia on your own schedule—book tickets ahead via their official site, ideally departing the port at least 2 hours before entry. Once inside, you'll stand before David and other classical works at your own pace. The guide doesn't accompany you into the museum; this is your moment. Afterwards, explore Florence further or rest before your return drive to the port.
