Accompanied by a professional local guide, it will be possible to discover the most important places of the city, retracing the fascinating history of the Medici dynasty, the family that put its power and wealth at the service of patronage and art, thus placing the foundations of the Renaissance.
You will know stories and anecdotes of intrigues, power struggles, secrets and betrayals, but also tales of incredible foresight, which have allowed us to leave the city and the entire world an artistic and cultural heritage of inestimable value. You will be able to admire the buildings, monuments, streets and squares where the members of the Medici family lived and exercised their political and economic power over the city.

You will walk along the same narrow streets where they walked, you will touch the stones used to build their residences and you will see the same monuments that they were used to seeing every day: Palazzo Medici Riccardi, their first residence in the San Lorenzo neighborhood, where you can find so like their Church and mausoleum: the Medici Chapels.
A few steps away you will then reach the magnificent Cathedral, with its imposing Brunelleschi's Dome and the splendid Palazzo Vecchio, their second residence, which dominates the marvelous Piazza della Signoria.

Further on, you will follow the entire route of the Vasari Corridor from the outside, the spectacular elevated passage that connects the two banks of the Arno river, passing next to the enchanting Ponte Vecchio and crossing houses and the Church of Santa Felicita: a secret and convenient corridor used by the Medici Grand Dukes of Tuscany, to move between Palazzo Pitti, their third residence, and their offices located inside Palazzo Vecchio, without being seen by the citizens. The majestic Pitti Palace, which hides the marvelous Boboli Gardens, is the last Florentine residence of the Medici and is also the last stop on your incredible journey through the art and history of a unique city in the world.
After the walking tour, enrich your experience with the entrance ticket to the splendid Boboli Gardens, a splendid example of an "Italian-style" garden.
With your ticket you can also visit the Porcelain Museum and the wonderful Bardini Gardens independently.
