Visit the amazing Roman city frozen in time. Walk the streets and see where the Romans of 79 AD lived, worked, relaxed and entertained. Pompeii was partially destroyed and buried under ash and pumice during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, completely lost till it was accidentally rediscovered in 1749. Since then, its excavation has provided an extraordinarily detailed insight into the life of a city at the height of the Roman Empire.
​

Learn about Florence’s rich cultural history during your sightseeing tour. See Piazza della Signoria with its impressive sculptures and imposing palazzi: the multi-coloured Marble Duomo and Baptistery, famous for its bronze doors that Michelangelo dubbed “the Gates of Paradise”. You will be amazed by the magnificence of Santa Maria del Fiore, Giotto’s Bell and the Basilica of Santa Croce. A walking tour into the centre gives the opportunity of enjoying the charm of the City.
DaVinci Museum
Leonardo da Vinci is without a doubt one of the most famous Tuscan and Italian historical figures of all time. Having lived between 1452 and 1519, he continues to be the symbol of the Renaissance and its rebirth, with his attention dedicated to the arts including painting, sculpture, architecture, music, design and choreography for plays (which he loved).
The Leonardo da Vinci Museum, included in your tour, is a block away from Piazza Duomo, on the very central via de'Servi. The museum will take you back to Leonardo's fascinating and complex world, the one where he was able to imagine and draw machines for many different purposes found in his notebooks.
The machines you'll find at the museum are full-sized functional replicas, all with a description in various languages (English, Italian, Russian, Spanish, French and German) explaining what they were to be used for. Some of the machines are hands-on interactive displays which means you can handle them and figure out how they work, by moving or pushing levers... in essence, getting to walk in the shoes of the great Leonardo da Vinci.
​
Following your fascinating trip through time with DaVinci, enjoy free time for Lunch and Shopping in Florence.
There are tons of shops and “trattoria” for lunch, so everyone can satisfy their desires whether it be a charming souvenir, an handmade jewel or to taste the authentic flavour of a plate of italian pasta!
