    Right around the corner from Florence’s Duomo, you can find Piazza della Repubblica - one of the most historic squares in the city.

Your guide will vividly explain that, throughout time, this was always the civic heart of Florence - where people heard news of the government, where they defended their city from rivals, where they feasted for holidays, and where they met with friends. Because of its importance, this is also later where the powerful Medici family built Palazzo Vecchio, and ultimately, Loggia dei Lanzi, home to priceless, famous sculptures. Did you know that the “David” sculpture by Michelangelo was originally supposed to be placed in Piazza della Signoria? Learn all about this special corner of Florence from your passionate guide!

We cannot thank Oscar enough, he was such a pleasant chap and highly knowledgeable. Always happy to answer our questions and offer further insight during the walking tour; whilst taking the time to ensure that we explored Florence. This is a great tour, which gives you the opportunity to explore and find out more; but equally gives you plenty of time to explore the city further afterwards. The pace of the tour is perfect, and suitable for all ages/abilities. Once again, thank you Oscar!
