Excursion Florence by private car with guide - full day tour at Livorno

Explore Florence at your leisure during your full-day (8-Hour) sightseeing tour via private car & guide. Customise your own itinerary or choose to see an overview of the area's highlights.

Florence is the capital of the Tuscany region and it has about 400.000 inhabitants. This city is universally recognized as a city of art, for its precious and incomparable artistic heritage that includes monuments of different styles, rich museums such as the Uffizi gallery and the Pitti Palace, and magnificent villas.

Florence under the influence of its governors, the Medici, became a thriving economic and cultural center in the panorama of Medieval Europe.

It is then considered the place of origin of the Renaissance, as the cradle of that cultural and scientific renewal that marked the end of the fourteenth century in Florence, only to explode in the 1500s throughout Europe.

The historical centre is closed to traffic with exception of private cars and vans with a special license.

Therefore you will have the privilege to arrive directly in the centre and explore the city with your private guide, according to your tastes and desires.

You may see the Ponte Vecchio which is the only bridge that survived the Nazi bombing of the Second World War. Here, among the artisan shops and goldsmith shops, you can admire the animated life of Florence with a breathtaking window on the Arno.

The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is one of the largest cathedrals in the world, one of the main attractions of Florence. The red brick dome was created by Filippo Brunelleschi in the 17th century.

The majesty of Piazza della Signoria (Signoria Square) is unobjectionable as, moreover, is the beauty of the sites of historical and artistic interest that it hosts. Right in Piazza della Signoria you have the opportunity to admire Palazzo Vecchio, the fountain of Neptune called by the Florentines Biancone and the Loggia dei Lanzi.

If you are interested in a specific visit of a museum please note that a reservation may be needed far in advance (i.e. Uffizi Gallery or Accademia Gallery).

Your exclusive tour concludes back at the pier.
