Tour description

Join us on a journey into the heart of the Renaissance, starting with the elegance of Via Tornabuoni and the perfection of Palazzo Strozzi. We'll continue admiring the magnificence of the Odeon Theater, a true 20th-century jewel steeped in history, before reaching Piazza della Repubblica, the beating heart of the city.

The tour will lead us to the majestic Piazza del Duomo, where Brunelleschi's Dome celebrates the genius protected and funded by the Medici family's vision. After wandering the alleys of Dante Alighieri's Quarter, we'll enter the heart of Medici power in Piazza della Signoria, dominated by the majestic Palazzo Vecchio.

Strolling past the treasures of the Uffizi, we'll uncover the secrets of the Vasari Corridor, the Grand Dukes' private passageway overlooking the gold of the Ponte Vecchio. We'll conclude at the "Porcellino" Market: a touch of the boar's snout will traditionally ensure your future return to the splendid city of the Medici.
