Florence Michelangelo Private Tour

This private Michelangelo tour in Florence will give you an amazing experience as you explore the city’s iconic landmarks where many of his most significant works are on display.

Your chauffeur will collect you from your accommodation to set off, accompanied by a guide specialising in the history of the Renaissance master, on a journey brimming with culture and art, during which you will visit:

• Galleria dell’Accademia: this is where you’ll find the sculptures *The Slaves* and *David*, the latter perhaps Michelangelo’s most famous work and one of his masterpieces
• Museo dell’Opera del Duomo: situatedbehind Florence Cathedral, this museum houses a priceless collection, including the Bandini Pietà
• Basilica of San Lorenzo: this church was designed by Michelangelo during his career as an architect. Inside, you’ll see ‘Day, Dawn, Dusk and Night’, which he carved from marble
• Casa Buonarroti: this museum, dedicated to his artistic legacy, houses gems such as the ‘Madonna della Scala’ and the ‘Centauromachy’

You’ll also have the chance to explore the streets of Florence on foot and visit iconic sites such as the site of the now-vanished San Marco Gardens, where Michelangelo once had a studio in which he created his works.

The trip also includes a visit to the Basilica of the Holy Cross, where the tomb of the artist lies – the creator of the frescoes in the Sistine Chapel, *The Creation of Adam* and *The Last Judgement*, which marked a milestone in the Renaissance era.

As an optional excursion, you can book a visit to the Bargello National Museum and the Medici Chapels, two destinations that will give you an in-depth insight into Michelangelo’s artistic legacy in Florence.
