At the start of your tour, after crossing the Pitti Palace's courtyard, your guide will lead you up to the “artichoke” fountain, the large octagonal basin decorated with numerous statues and crowned by a bronze lily. And in front of you is the sight of the "Amphitheatre" adjoined to the hill behind the palace, the first phase of creating this beautiful garden as the guide will explain how it was designed. As you climb up the hill, you will find "Neptune’s fountain", and at the very top of the hill, the large statue of "Abundance" by Giambologna. The guide will later lead you through a steep sloping avenue to head back down the hill and to a large avenue known as the "Viottolone”, with cypresses and statuettes that then lead all the way down to the "Isolotto", a large pond, with an admirable fountain known as "The Ocean", created by Giambologna.

After the guide spends time explaining these fountains and sculptures, the final stops will be at the "Giardino del Cavaliere", built by Michelangelo, "Kaffeehaus" and the "Buontalenti Grotto" created by Buontalenti from limestone concrete stalactites, shells and terracotta reliefs, with water running down the walls providing vivacity and colour as a guide will reveal all the secrets behind these designs. The tour takes about an hour, the perfect amount to see the highlights inside the garden. You can also return to anything you want to see again after the tour ends.

From the point of the meeting, the guide will give you an insight of the history of this Renaissance city and how this incredible cultural movement of the Renaissance transformed not only Florence but eventually the rest of Europe. The walking guided tour will be done from the outside of each attraction. The guide will start off with Piazza Della Republica, the main square of Florence that marks the center of the City. After a little talk of history & the changes of Piazza Republica since its origin, you will walk straight to the marvelous piece of art, the Piazza Della Duomo. A showstopper of Filippo Brunelleschi, Giotto, Arnolfo & Francesco Talenti.

En passant par la place du Duomo, le guide vous mènera directement à travers les vieux bâtiments et certains des monuments historiques de Florence jusqu'au Palazzo Vecchio, où la sculpture de David (l'original se trouve dans la Galleria dell'Accademia) de Michel-Ange est placée à l'extérieur du Palazzo Vecchio comme symbole du défi de la République aux Médicis tyranniques.

Afterward, as you walk past the Palazzo Vecchio, the guide will explain to you about the Uffizi Gallery, one of the greatest museums of the world, and then you will reach the most famous old bridge in Florence known as “Ponte Vecchio”.

Votre prochain arrêt est le Palazzo Pitti, l'immense palais de Filippo Brunelleschi, qui abrite les plus grands monuments architecturaux de Florence et la maison de la famille Pitti, plus tard celle des Médicis. La visite dure environ deux heures, suffisamment de temps pour vous permettre de comprendre le caractère unique et la beauté de Florence.
