Phenomenal historical tour
Terri_P, Dec 2023
All of the family history, and information on all of their homes. Our guide was so so knowledgeable about them both. Felt I had known them my whole life! It was an awesome tour and would highly recommend. You can she loves giving the tours.
More Specific Content
Elise_A, Jul 2023
While our tour guide Gabriella was fantastic, I do wish there were some more specific content about the history of the Medici family and their patronage of the city and all the artists, etc, their styles of ruling/politics, how each Medici ruler was different or the same, relationship with the church, etc. I feel like there was a lot of info about the city itself and not as much about the family itself.
Well worth cost and time!

Fantastic overview of the Medici impact on city

We wish we had done this tour on our first day of our visit to Florence. Pam gave an amazing overview of the Medici family and its impact on the growth of Florence. This overview of Florence is a fantastic way to prioritize what to visit and tour.
A good way to explore Florence while learning about the Medicis
Errol_F, Oct 2022
We learnt about the impact of 3 centuries of the Medici dynasty on Florence and Tuscany. We past major Medici sites and buildings. Our guide, Elena, was knowledgeable and answered all our questions.
For an Intimate view of the Medici's Florence, this is it.

Our tour guide allowed us to have input for the itinerary as we were the only people on the tour. We chose to visit some of the artisan workshops that came into existence during the Medici rule that still exist today.

Our guide was very knowledgeable, pleasant and patient with a whole group of older folk! Thomas(that isn’t quite right) he took the time to tell and show us odd little facts and lore about various sites. A delight!
Great Walk through history

Having arrived in florence and doing our own walking around, after this tour I felt like I knew the city a lot better. I am also a fan of Italian history in that city specifically, so to hear about the Medici family, how they lived how their line ended was very interesting to me. I really enjoyed the tour. and Leonardo was nice to look at as well ;-)
