Useful Information
Skip The Line: Best of Florence Walking Tour including Accademia Gallery and Duomo
Visit the former Ancient Forum, now Piazza della Repubblica and a popular meeting place for writers and artists. Glance Ghilberti's Baptistry Doors, known as the 'Gates of Paradise' and be sure to rub the nose of legendary il Porcellino' the boar, so that you may one day return again to Florence!
Dominating the Florentine skyline, Brunlleschi's imposing Duomo never fails to impress. Enter inside the astounding Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore before devouring a delicious homemade Italian gelato or hot chocolate in winter if you prefer. Restrictions on entry to the Cathedral may apply on Sundays and religious holidays.
Next, skip the line into the Accademia Gallery and marvel at Michelangelo's 17 foot David and enjoy the rest of the gallery's artistic works at your leisure.

This is a great tour. Well organized, easy to find the meeting place, seeing the David was something to remember.

Our tour guide Paul kept us intrigued from the start. His knowledge of the Renaissance period and Florence was extremely broad. He kept the group involved and interested for the entire three hours. Even our two teenage kids enjoyed the morning and were glad that we did it. An asset to Dark Rome, and a very enjoyable morning.
