Best of Florence Walking Tour with Michelangelo’s David & the Duomo

The tour meets in Piazza San Marco, by the statue in the middle of the square. This is a centrally located square adjacent to Via degli Arazzieri and Via Giorgio la Pira, about a 10 minute walk north from the Florence Duomo.

Please arrive 15 minutes prior to tour start time. Due to the exclusive nature of our skip-the-line tickets, we do not have the luxury of waiting for guests, or catching them up after the fact.

No – due to time-constraints, visits the outside of the Duomo, where your guide will tell you fascinating stories and anecdotes about Florence’s most famous cathedral.

Guests can only carry small handbags inside the Accademia. Larger backpacks and big pointy umbrellas are not allowed. Please also note there is no cloakroom inside the Accademia Gallery.

Please only bring what you can easily carry within the gallery guidelines, as there is no place for baggage storage on this tour.

We ask that all guests arrive 10-15 minutes early for the scheduled tour.

This gives us time to get all of our guests checked-in, fitted correctly for bikes, and a chance to get comfortable on your bike before we take off.

These activities are also only refundable more than 72 hours in advance of the activity start time. Within 72 hours, we will only be able to issue a partial refund or future credit.
