Frequently Asked Questions

Admission is arranged as part of this private tour.
Retreating German forces destroyed every other bridge across the Arno in August 1944 but left the Ponte Vecchio standing, blocking it instead by demolishing nearby buildings. The exact reason is still debated among historians, with different accounts crediting a German consul, a local shop assistant, or simple reluctance to destroy such a famous landmark.

About This Tour

A private tour combining priority entry to see Michelangelo's David at the Accademia with a walk through Florence's historic center landmarks. Join your private guide for a walk through the museum to see Michelangelo's David and other works of art, then stroll the city to visit public squares and view landmarks like the Ponte Vecchio and Duomo.

The real David has lived safely indoors at the Accademia only since 1873, when Italy's government decided three centuries of open-air weather and city unrest had taken enough of a toll on the marble and moved it to a purpose-built, skylit rotunda. The statue's original home was Piazza della Signoria, right in front of the Palazzo Vecchio, where it stood for over 350 years as a deliberate political symbol: a young shepherd defeating a giant, standing for the Florentine Republic itself. A full-size replica occupies that same spot today, which is exactly where this tour's walking portion takes you.

On the walk through the historic center, the Ponte Vecchio is one of the real highlights. A bridge has crossed the Arno at this narrow point since Roman times, but the current structure dates to 1345, making it Florence's oldest surviving bridge. It owes that title partly to luck: retreating German forces blew up every other bridge in the city in August 1944, but spared the Ponte Vecchio, instead demolishing the buildings at either end to block it. Why the bridge itself survived is still debated, with competing accounts crediting a German consul, a local shop assistant, or simple reluctance to destroy something so famous.

Above the shops lining the bridge runs the Vasari Corridor, an elevated passageway Cosimo I de' Medici had built so his family could move privately between the Palazzo Vecchio and the Pitti Palace without setting foot on the street. You'll pass beneath it on the walk, one more layer of Medici-era Florence folded into a single afternoon that also includes Michelangelo's most famous sculpture.
