Florence: Medici & Renaissance Secrets - Unforgettable 2 Hrs
This tour is the best walking tour that you can ever have in Florence. It is a great introduction to the city for both first-timers as well as returners. It covers the main attractions of the city and also the hidden gems that are well and truly "off the beaten track" and gives you facts you wouldn't know or notice walking around by yourself. While you'll be led through the city you will be even accompanied through three centuries full of thrilling stories about the Medici family who influenced Florence’s history; little by little the Renaissance will become alive in front of you. You will not be involved in a boring, neutral lecture, but in a pleasant stroll through the center of Florence, in a friendly and easy-going atmosphere.

City was packed with walking tours and our guide navigated us well. The information was good and the radio tech worked well.

Alberto is so knowledgeable and such a fantastic teacher! In a little more than 2 hours he taught us most of what we needed to know about the history of Florence and Tuscany. Take this tour your first or second day in town, take notes on your map because he will provide tips on where to go and what to see, all in walking distance.

Manuel gave us a great tour of Florence! Between history and stories on architecture, I really had the feeling that I was visiting Florence through Medieval and Renaissance times. Thanks a lot again for this wonderful moment!

Tour was very interesting. Mostly about the Medici family. About 2 hours of light walking and listening to tales of the past!
