Magical Florence: Historical Tour with Official Guides. Renaissance, Anecdotes, and Much More
Tour description
Hello everyone, welcome to Florence! With this tour, we offer you the chance to experience Florence through the eyes of local guides. We'll explore the most classic and beautiful parts of the city center, guided by the locals.
The tour begins in Piazza San Lorenzo, in front of the statue of Giovanni delle Bande Nere, in the neighborhood of the powerful Medici family. This tour will combine the traditional with the hidden, exploring the most emblematic and the lesser-known streets. From the San Lorenzo neighborhood, we will explore the historic center, the jewels of the Renaissance, the history of the Medici family, the impressive Cathedral, and Piazza della Signoria, which can be considered a true open-air museum of statues. The tour route may change each time, as we try to customize it as much as possible, depending on the interests and passions of the participants.
This is the itinerary, which may have some slight differences depending on the tour and the guide's taste:
San Lorenzo Church
Palazzo Medici Riccardi
Florence Cathedral (Duomo)
Medieval Quarter or Piazza della Repubblica
