Your Itinerary

Florence

Discover the Medici's story by walking through the most important streets and palaces. From Giovanni de Medici to Lorenzo de Medici, see, hear about, and understand the power of this incredible family. Begin your tour at the Palazzo Medici Riccardi, the main residence of the first branch of the Medici family. The Medici family was connected to most of the other elite families of the time through marriages of convenience, partnership, or employment. Hence, the family had a central position in the social network. Several families had systematic access to the rest of the elite families only through the Medici family. Some examples of these families include the Bardi, Altoviti, Ridolfi, Cavalcanti, and Tornabuoni. This has been suggested as a reason for the rise of the Medici family.

San Lorenzo

Continue your tour to the San Lorenzo Church square, Florence’s cathedral, until the 8th century. From the early 15th century, the Medici family had the church entirely rebuilt in the new Renaissance style. On your way here, the guide will describe from the outside the Medici Chapels where the private mausoleum of the Medici Grand Dukes, Michelangelo’s New Sacristy, and his Medici Tombs are located. After explaining the Medici Chaples from the outside of the attraction, the guide moves across the city centre to reach the river Arno and cross the river on Ponte Vecchio to the Oltrarno district. Here, see the imposing Palazzo Pitti, the last residence of the Medici family. Your guide will lead you to the tour's last stop, La Strega Nocciola, to enjoy delicious ice cream.

Francesca was a great guide who was very knowledgeable and patient allowing us to take pictures along the way. My group was only myself and another person so we benefited from a private tour which made it even better. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Our guide, Tizianna was very knowledgebale and enthusiatic about the topics she covered. We took a tour on the Medici family, and Tizianna didn't hesitate to give us further information on the city of Florence. She speaks perfect and clear English. We really liked our experience and learning a little more about the history of Florence, made our stay and museum visits much more meaningful. Highly recommend taking this tour with Tizianna.

Het was een zeer prettige stadswandeling met Elena. Ze vertelde met passie over haar stad en had veel interessante informatie te delen over de Medici familie. Mijn vrouw is zwanger en ze hield goed rekening met het wandeltempo en pauzes houden. Grote complimenten!

04.10.2021 dalle 15 alle 17 Ringraziamo di cuore la nostra guida, Ivano, che molto preparato sull'argomento, in modo gentile e professionale, ci ha raccontato in dettaglio tutta la storia della famiglia dei Medici. Ci ha accompagnato tra le vie di Firenze e raccontato alcuni aneddoti riguardanti la famiglia, il Ponte Vecchio e alcuni avvenimenti passati della città. Abbiamo passato due ore interessanti e piacevoli grazie a Ivano. Di sicuro consiglieremo ad amici e parenti sia questo tour che la visita della città di Firenze. Da Laura e Beata.
