    Full description
    Discover the amazing story of the ruling family of Florence, from the very beginning to the extinction of the Dynasty. Your licensed guide will lead you through a fascinating itinerary and will show you all the places which played an important role in their life, including their churches, their palaces, secret passageways and many more. The tour will start at San Marco Square and your guide will show you how the Medici grew their importance, from a simple family coming from the Mugello area (North of Florence) to become one of the most important in the Renaissance Period.

    It was a nice walking tour. Maria Cristina was great tour guide too! We got to walk around and get to know important places in Florence, as well as the history behind them. Florence is an amazing place; you definitely feel more connected to it after learning more about its art and historical facts.

    Really beautiful and engaging experience, our guide Ilaria spent more time than expected to tell us about the city and its history. Nice, clear, engaging and very well prepared. We will definitely do other tours! It deserves a lot to go beyond the surface of self-guided tours and really get to know the history and monuments.

    Very pleasant tour, received a lot of info. Only downside: not clear on site that sights (eg cathedral and medical Chapels) were not included in Tour. We thought we were going to visit this and had to pay an entrance fee on the spot but this was not. Nice to take the tour during a stay in Florence.
