At 8:00 AM, you'll be greeted at the Livorno Port where a comfortable minibus will pick up 19 passengers for a scenic transfer to the heart of Florence. By 9:30 AM, you'll meet your guide and embark on a captivating journey beginning at Piazzale Michelangelo, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city.

From there, we'll make our way to the Galleria Accademia, founded in 1563. This renowned museum houses many of Michelangelo's masterpieces, including his iconic 'David.' Moved indoors from Piazza Signoria to protect it from pollution and weather, 'David' established Michelangelo as the premier sculptor of his era at just twenty-nine. You'll also marvel at 'The Four Prisoners,' four powerful figures striving to free themselves from their stone confines.

By 11:30 AM, the tour transitions into a walking exploration of Florence’s historic gems. Admire the grandeur of the Duomo and Baptistry, the vibrant life in Piazza della Signoria, the historic Ponte Vecchio, and the whimsical Wild Boar statue.

At 12:30 PM, take a break to savor a delicious lunch in the heart of Florence. 

Refreshed and ready, you'll continue your journey at 1:30 PM with a visit to the Uffizi Gallery, the oldest gallery in the world, established in 1560 as offices for the Tuscan administration. Here, a guided tour will introduce you to timeless works such as Botticelli’s 'The Birth of Venus' and 'Primavera,' Michelangelo’s 'The Holy Family,' and Titian’s 'Venus of Urbino.' The museum's paintings, arranged in chronological order along the horseshoe-shaped corridor, showcase the evolution of Florentine art from the Gothic period to the High Renaissance.

At 4:15 PM, you'll board the minibus for a relaxing transfer back to Livorno, arriving at the ship by 6:00 PM, with your heart and mind full of Florence’s artistic and historical treasures.
