Timed entry to Accademia and Uffizi plus a guided walk to David, Duomo views, Ponte Vecchio, and more, in about 5 hours.

“This was an interesting tour for some of the highlights of the city. Laura was very knowledgeable of the sights we visited today. In some cases, too knowledgeable.

A general overview of what was going on in the area, important families, political status and such is fine. Some details of how they were sculpted or pigments used would be nice.

9.Florence Walking Tour with Accademia, Uffizi & Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,033 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $136.96

Florence in one day, with reserved Accademia entry for David, a Duomo-area walk, then guided Uffizi plus a 3-course Tuscan lunch.

“It's not organized very well. We missed our meet up point and the representative at the site gave us tickets but did not give us information where to go after we're done with the tour of Accademia. It's like a chopped up tour where you have a guide for Accademia gallery, another guide for the walking tour, then you are on your own to find the restaurant for lunch, then another guide for the Uffizi. It's probably better not to get lunch with this tour.”
