Itinerary
Meet your guide in front of the Giovani monument (Monumento a Giovanni delle Bande Nere), Piazza di San Lorenzo, 50123 Firenze FI, Italy
Hear the story of the Medicis and visit the Medici Chapels (Cappelle Medicee).
Your exclusive theme tour will begin in front of the Basilica of San Lorenzo, which is one of the largest and oldest churches in town.
The Medici Chapels were added to the church after the 15th century as a burial place of all the principal members of the Medici family from Cosimo il Vecchio to Cosimo III. They are an extraordinary example of a funerary monument, designed and decorated by sculptures by Michelangelo, such as the Madonna and Child. Thanks to your Expert Guide, you will learn who the Medici family was, how they became so powerful, and their relationship with Michelangelo, da Vinci, and other great artists of the Renaissance. You will also get to see some other places connected to the Medicis, such as their Riccardi Medici Palace, the iconic Florence Cathedral, and the medieval Bergallo prison.

The Viator app needs to be perfected. He indicated to us a wrong place for the appointment with the guide. Luckily the guide called us and gave us the correct directions. And he came to meet us, starting the tour with promptness and flexibility together.
