• Piazza Santa Croce - Meet your guide by Dante’s statue in front of the famous Basilica di Santa Croce or, if your hotel is centrally located, meet her in the lobby and start your walking tour from there.

• Ponte Vecchio - Next, your tour takes you past the “Porcellino” (little pig) market, and on to Florence’s oldest bridge, the Ponte Vecchio. You’ll learn about the bridge’s rich history, and how the Vasari Corridor dramatically changed the shops that line the bridge.

• Piazza della Signoria - The political center of Florence, Piazza della Signoria, is next.

• Piazza del Duomo - Then the Piazza Duomo where you’ll marvel at the Cathedral’s unique marble decoration, and of course, Brunelleschi’s Dome.

• Cupola del Brunelleschi - At this point on the tour, your guide will give you instructions to get to the top of the Dome with your skip-the-line tickets.
