| Florence
is a treasure trove of important paintings and sculptures, medieval
architecture and Renaissance palaces, and on this tour you will see
Michelangelo's famous statue of David plus architectural treasures
by Giotto and Botticelli.
On
your full-day trip from Rome to Florence, you'll travel in a northerly
direction to cross the green valley of the Tevere and the slopes
of the Apennines covered with olive groves and vineyards. You'll
also cross the famous wine-growing valley of Chianti before arriving
in Florence.
Your Florence city tour begins with a guided visit to the Accademia
Gallery (Gallerie dell'Accademia) to see the original statue of
Michelangelo's David. You will continue on a walking tour with a
local guide to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (outside visit)
to admire the beautiful dome by Brunelleschi.

church of Santa Croce, where great artists like Michelangelo are
buried. Finally, you will have the opportunity to visit one of Florence’s
leather schools and discover other ancient crafts such as mosaics
and goldsmiths. The coach will depart Florence at approximately
5pm for the return journey to Rome.
