Full Description

Step Into the Beating Heart of Florence

 

It begins where it always has — in the center of Florence, where the stone streets open onto Piazza del Duomo, and the towering dome of Santa Maria del Fiore rises against the sky. The same view that greeted Renaissance merchants, artists, and pilgrims now welcomes you, and with it, the promise of something unforgettable.

This isn’t just a visit. It’s an invitation to see Florence as its artists once did — through the eyes of Brunelleschi, Giotto, Donatello, and Michelangelo — and to walk among the treasures they left behind. With one of our licensed guides by your side, you’ll uncover centuries of stories hidden in the stones of the Duomo, the Baptistery, and the Opera del Duomo Museum.

A Complete Duomo Experience – More Than Just a Visit

This isn’t just sightseeing — it’s one of the most essential cultural experiences in Florence, and a journey into the heart of the Italian Renaissance.

Our small-group tour begins in Piazza del Duomo, where you'll immediately feel the energy that has pulsed through this city for hundreds of years. With our high-quality audio headsets, you’ll hear your guide clearly while walking through the area’s most important landmarks:

  • Florence Cathedral (Santa Maria del Fiore) – Marvel at Brunelleschi’s dome, still the largest brick dome ever built.

  • Giotto’s Campanile (Bell Tower) – Admire its elegant architecture and colored marble facade.

  • The Baptistery of San Giovanni – One of the oldest buildings in Florence, with golden mosaics and the famous “Gates of Paradise.”

  • Opera del Duomo Museum – Home to original artworks by Michelangelo, Donatello, Luca della Robbia, and more.

Secrets of the Masters: Brunelleschi, Giotto, Donatello & Michelangelo

Inside these historic sites, your guide will reveal the untold stories of Florence’s artistic giants. From Brunelleschi’s revolutionary engineering to Giotto’s design brilliance, from Donatello’s dramatic realism to Michelangelo’s bold spiritual vision — every name comes to life as you stand before their work.

One highlight? The Pietà Bandini, one of Michelangelo’s most personal and powerful sculptures, housed in the Duomo Museum, alongside Donatello’s haunting Mysterious Prophet and works by Verrocchio and Pollaiolo.
