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.

Elisabetta Carraro was funny, engaging, challenging and mesmerizing. Who knew anyone could talk for 2 hours non-stop. Every step invited a new story about Florence. This tour was non-stop, over-the-top entertainment. History dished out like a delicious Bistecca alla Fiorentina. This is the best tour I have taken in many many years. If you are in Florence, DONT MISS THIS TOUR!!!!!!

Deborah was so knowledgeable and an excellent storyteller, even in the rain, which added to the story. She was also humorous. We highly recommend this tour and our tour guide, Deborah!!

Elizabeth was a fantastic guide. Talked in detail about the history of the Medici family. She had lots of information to provide.

Exelllent tour in Florence with a touch of history. The guide showed us the hidden gems on the city. I felt the warmth of a florentine towards his city.

Manuel is very passionate about the city. His tour was informative, linking events and people that might otherwise have appeared disconnected to us, to weave the story of Florence from the middle ages to the renaissance.

Thank you! This was very interesting for me and my sister (12 and 11 years old) and I could understand it well :) I recommend to people who are interested in the fascinating history of Florence.

Was a really intriguing tour that gives you a real indepth history and understanding of Florence. Going through the narrow streets and away from some of the tourist hot spots gave a more exclusive and local history experience.

Manuel show you the real Florencia and not the tourist Florencia, it was a nice experience! And he explain interesting things of the city I wouldn’t know.

Really nice tour with lots of different views on Florence. Was a good mix of seeing and understanding the most important buildings but also the less visual history of the city

The meeting point is in front of the façade of SAN LORENZO church (main entrance, not the entrance of the Medici chapels) next to the marble statue of Giovanni de' Medici who is sitting on a small throne. Look for a small red flag.Return details
