About this experience

Prepare for an unforgettable hour in a museum that houses one of the world's largest and most important art collections. This guided tour highlights the most iconic pieces of this extraordinary collection, enriched with fascinating stories and curiosities to enhance your experience. You'll forever remember the awe of seeing Botticelli's sublime The Birth of Venus and Primavera up close. Admire Leonardo da Vinci's genius in The Baptism of Christ and The Annunciation, where his originality is already evident. Discover the expressive energy of Michelangelo's Doni Tondo, his only painting on wood, and the grace and harmony radiating from Raphael's Madonna of the Goldfinch. Appreciate the refined artistry of Filippo Lippi's Madonna and Child with Two Angels, the sensuality and elegance of Titian's Venus of Urbino, and the powerful, late Renaissance masterpieces by Caravaggio—the alluring Bacchus and the chilling Medusa—where the "cursed painter" showcases his dramatic realism at its peak.

Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

You can't leave Florence without visiting one of the most famous art galleries in the world. Here you can admire numerous works of art by Botticelli, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raffaello, Giotto, Cimabue, Masaccio and many others. Among the precious exhibition halls of the Gallery, the most renowned one contains the refined works by Botticelli, amongst which the absolute masterpieces: "Primavera" and "Birth of Venus". The latter painting, the icon of the museum, represents the allegory of the birth of the goddess emerging from the sea foam and symbolizes the ideal of beauty as an expression of purity and spiritual quality, typical of the Renaissance Neoplatonic aesthetics. The guided tour ends at the Uffizi Terrace where you can enjoy an amazing and exclusive view of the city’s most important monuments.
