Private tour in Florence

Tour Price : Send a request Duration : 9 HOURS Languages: English, Spanish, Swedish, Italian

At first we will have a little ride towards Florence, and you will have some time to relax and simply enjoy the view of the picturesque Tuscan countryside. During our private tour in Florence we will explore most part of the city. We will visit numerous tourist attractions, first of them being the Michelangelo square. It is named after the legendary Italian Renaissance sculptor. This square is famous for its breathtaking panoramic view of Florence.

You will recognize this view of the city from numerous postcards and stamps. Not far from the square you will notice a beautiful church – San Miniato al Monte.  It also stands at the highest point in the city. Most historians and architects consider this basilica the best example of the Florentine Romanesque style. This church is named after an Armenian prince, who served the Roman army. There are several legends linked to this person, and you will definitely hear them during the tour. Our next stop will be the Forte di Belvedere.  It was built in the 16th century, so you can imagine how old and significant this place is.

This fortification was built to protect the city and the ruling Medici family. We will proceed to the Pitti Palace which is considered to be a model of Renaissance architecture of Florence. As a private guide in Florence I would also advice you to take a look at the matchless Boboli Gardens.
