Join us for a delightful walk through Florence, an ideal way to get acquainted with the city and its magnificent heritage!

Seize the opportunity to explore one of UNESCO’s most significant and charming cities. As you stroll through Florence’s remarkable center, you’ll uncover its unique heritage and stunning beauty with the help of a knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide.

This tour highlights the attractions related to the Medici family’s history and Michelangelo’s art, delving into the city’s historical and architectural development from its Roman origins, through the medieval era, to the illustrious Renaissance and modern Florence.

Discover the Medici: the rulers of Florence.

The Medici family gained fame and reverence across the Western world during the 14th and 15th centuries. They rose to prominence in a time of significant social and economic disparity, acting as major innovators. Their revolutionary banking practices led to the creation of a middle class and the accumulation of immense wealth. The Medici used their power and resources to challenge conventional thinking, ushering in an unprecedented era of groundbreaking art and science: the Renaissance. Their influential story continues to resonate today.

Our professional guide will lead you to some of the most iconic spots where the greatest minds and artists once stood and found inspiration. On this tour, you will visit significant landmarks such as:
•Piazza della Signoria with the town hall Palazzo Vecchio,
•The Medici Riccardi Palace where Lorenzo the Magnificent lived,
•The historic “Loggia del Porcellino,”
•An unmissable stop in Piazza del Duomo,
•Santa Trinita Church, and
•Orsanmichele Church.

Experience Florence through the perspective of the powerful Medici family and marvel at the artworks that have shaped history, with a special emphasis on Michelangelo, one of the Renaissance’s greatest geniuses.

The incredible opportunity to discover Florence Duomo (Santa Maria del Fiore cathedral) and to see the city from an exclusive and breathtaking point of view: the Duomo terraces (that are normally not reachable) and Brunelleschi’s magnificent Dome.

Entering with a skip-the-line ticket, our knowledgeable and passionate guide will first focus on Florence Duomo: the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, which is also often considered the symbol of the city. Designed by Arnolfo di Cambio, the cathedral is the third largest church in the world (after St. Peter’s in Rome and St. Paul’s in London) and was the largest church in Europe when it was completed in the 15th century.

The numerous different styles that you’ll encounter in the building bear witness to changing tastes over the long period of time that elapsed between its foundation and its completion. Discover masterpieces such as:
•Paolo Uccello’s clock,
•Vasari’s frescoes, and
•Bandinelli’s marble choir.

Please note that in the 6 PM departure you will climb directly to the Duomo terrace, skipping the more in-depth visit of the Cathedral.

Then, begin your ascent to Florence Heaven: the staircase climb, through narrow and open-air corridors that have been closed to the public for centuries, will be rewarded by an incomparable view of the city from the Duomo Terraces, on the cathedral rooftop. A skywalk that will feel like floating between the city landscape, with its ancient roofs and towers, and the imposing Dome standing just a few meters above your head.

This is an exclusive visit of the Terraces, that are normally not open to the public. Take the most incredible pictures from this 32-metre-high (105 ft) panoramic point right in the middle of the old town.

Learn how the massive self-standing cathedral dome was built and how it can still firmly dominate the Florence skyline after 600 years, withstanding earthquakes and the passage of time. With his astonishingly innovative approach in vaulting the dome space without any scaffolding, Brunelleschi changed the rules of architecture forever, by inventing the way to defy gravity and reach eternity.

When you reach the top of Brunelleschi’s Cupola (the Dome), you will have the opportunity to reach the 91-metre-high (300 ft) panoramic viewpoint for the highest level of this Florentine Heaven and breathtaking views.
