Tour description

On this free tour you will feel a state of joy and curiosity, when you walk through the streets of Florence, when you feel the Middle Ages, the Renaissance... Everything will fascinate you immediately. The tour starts at Piazza di San Lorenzo (statue of Giovanni di Medici) and we will see the first "Dimora" house of the Medici family, the famous family that ruled Florence. We will also see the Palazzo Medici-Ricccardi, Capelle Medici and the church of San Lorenzo. We will talk about traditional Italian food at the San Lorenzo market, and we will go to the Duomo and the Baptistery with the Gate of Paradise and the Bell Tower. I can assure you that you have never seen a cathedral so beautiful. We will also visit Piazza della Signioria, where we will admire David Michelangelo.

I booked this well in advance and while the status remained "unconfirmed" for the booking, it never said "cancelled," and I didn't see any option to get confirmation. I tried messaging the guide to no avail. Disappointing introduction to the Firenze experience.

Grazie mille per il tour molto informativo! Non era una passeggiata prsoto, ma un'immersione nella Firenze rinascimentale e nel mondo dell'arte. Ioana non parla solo della città, ma invita a pensare alla storia e sentire la città!

I was the only participant in the group so Iona provided me with an exemplary personalized tour of the most beautiful city in the world - Florence! I had an instant bond with Ioana who started off her questions with “Who ruled Florence for 300 years?” as an example. She did not provide the answers like most guides do, instead she challenged me, which I found to be very engaging. She was the instructor and I was her student. Sometimes I got the answers wrong but this method is certainly the best way to learn the voluminous historical facts that comprise Florence. I will always remember this very unique and warm experience with Ioana and will seek her out for future trips!!!
