The Vecchio is prob not at the top of the list of 'obvious' tours but its well worth doing, as it is closely intertwined with the history of the rulers of Florence and esp the Medici family. So it help sets the context for how for example the Uffizi and the other more well known aspects of Florence came to be. Martina our guide was fun and informative, the company City Florence Tours also well organised (I found some of the other local operators were not good, so be careful of the provider you choose).

Leonardo was knowledgeable and engaging. The tour included a pass to the top of the tower which is quite a hike but the view was amazing.

Our Private Tour was brilliant, thanks to our wonderful guide Fabrizio. He helped us better understand the history of Florence and the part Palazzo Vecchio played (and still plays). The detail Fabrizio gave about The Hall of 500, and the Medici rooms throughout was excellent. Thoroughly recommend Fabrizio and the Private Tour, it might be more expensive than a general Tour, but the absence of headsets and the ability to ask whatever questions you have make it a value for money experience. The walk to the top of the tower was a great finish too!

Fabrizio from City Florence Tours was a brilliant guide on our visit to Palazzo Vecchio. He was excellent, from helping us through the Covid/Vaccination checks, to his knowledge and passion for Florence history in general and the Palazzo Vecchio in detail. The Hall of the 500 and the walk through the Medici rooms was exactly what we wanted. Being a private tour we didn't need to use headsets to hear which made it more informal and intimate than other tours we've been on. Thanks Fabrizio!

What to expect

Palazzo Vecchio

Come and visit Florence and its history through guided tours like this, taking a dip in the history of this city and going back many centuries. Your local guide will accompany you on this visit to Palazzo Della Signoria which was built from the end of the 1200s and was the second seat of the Florentine Republic. In 1500, following the political rise of the Medici family, who became lords and masters of Florence, the Palazzo became the residence of Grand Duke Cosimo I de Medici. Finally in 1800 following the unity of Italy and in the period of Florence the capital, it also became the seat of Parliament. Inside you can visit the Government Halls of the Republic and the private rooms of the Granducale family renovated and embellished by the architect and chronicler Giorgio Vasari, appreciated by the Grand Duke. The main attraction of the Palazzo is the Salone dei 500, entirely frescoed by Giorgio Vasari, as well as the rooms and apartments of the Grand Duchess Eleonora di Toledo. Enjoy one of the best views of the city on the terrace located at the back of the Palace and end the visit in the Rooms where the ancient Florentine Republic used to meet (Sala dei Gigli, Hall of Geographical Maps, Hall of the last Chancellor of the Republic. Today the Palazzo is also the seat of the Municipality of Florence and from a century to today it is known as Palazzo Vecchio in its past.
