Very good and kind guide. Helpful!

Begin a captivating walk through a UNESCO World Heritage area, spanning a mile of unparalleled beauty adorned with breathtaking monuments and open-air masterpieces! Guided by a local expert guide, immerse yourself in the city's rich history, unveiling the tales of the influential Medici dynasty. This powerful family dedicated their wealth to the patronage of art, laying the groundwork for the Renaissance era.

Uncover stories of intrigue, power struggles, and secrets, balanced by narratives of remarkable foresight. Traverse the same narrow streets, touch the stones that built their residences, and witness the grandeur of Palazzo Medici Riccardi, their initial dwelling in the San Lorenzo district. Visit their Church and mausoleum, the Medici Chapels, and marvel at the Cathedral with Brunelleschi’s Dome and the imposing Palazzo Vecchio on the stunning Piazza della Signoria.

Continue your journey following externally the Vasari Corridor, an elevated passageway connecting the banks of the river Arno. Behold the beauty of the Ponte Vecchio and Santa Felicita Church, unveiling the secret corridor used by the Medici Grand Dukes to discreetly move between Palazzo Pitti and their offices in Palazzo Vecchio.

Conclude your adventure at the majestic Pitti Palace, the final residence of the Medici, and explore on your own the enchanting Boboli Gardens. As a special treat, we offer you an exclusive entrance ticket to independently explore the Boboli Gardens, Porcelain Museum, and Bardini Gardens.
