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.

I didn't believe I could unlock so much knowledge. Our guide, Manuel, is an incredible storyteller. I got lieral chills! Thanks to this tour, and especially thanks to Manuel the Guide, I got to hear the most crazy and beautiful (almost poetic) parts of the history of Firenze. As cheesy as it sounds, for me, a philology enthusiast, this tour was immensely influencial, Thanks mom, for booking this tour as a gift! For those reading, I surely hope your parents will book this tour for you as well.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an incredible walking tour around Florence with Manuel! He’s a fantastic storyteller — passionate, funny, and full of fascinating details that brought the Renaissance and Medici history to life. Every corner had a story, and he made the city feel alive. Easily one of the best tours we’ve done in Italy. Highly recommend Manuel to anyone visiting Florence!

Fantastic knowledgeable guide who mixed in some light hearted entertainment in her story telling about the Medici family and the history of Florence. Cared about the group and enduring everyone had the same experience and want left behind

This tour allows you to understand the places and buildings you see both during and after the tour. Our guide, Marco, used stories to explain the interactions of the Medici family with the history of Florence. He was interesting and engaging. A meaningfull, enjoyable, learning experience.
