For the second portion of this tour you’ll learn about the life of Michelangelo in Florence and how his techniques forever changed the way that artists and sculptors approached their craft. Upon entering the Accademia Gallery, you will discuss Michelangelo’s early years and career made possible by the patronage of the powerful Medici family, and admire David, the artist's masterpiece and consummate symbol of the Florentine Renaissance. By the end of the tour, you’ll have gained a greater understanding of the concepts of beauty, technical mastery, and the deep relationship between art and politics in Renaissance society.

Is this tour an introductory tour?
This combo tour is great for the visitor who wants to see the 2 most popular museums in Florence, but who does not have a full day to dedicate to them. It is more immersive than our Introduction to Florence tour, as it spends time the Uffizi Galleries while the intro tour does not. Comparatively, it is a shorter version of our Florence in a Day tour, as it only dives into the Uffizi and Accademia.
