Overview of your Florence tour:

The focus of this tour is on the first three Medici rulers of Florence but also on the Renaissance, with which this family's name is so often associated. The context is one of unprecedented development in style but also a change in mentality. In the course of our 3. 5 hour walk, we will see these changes, beginning with the convent of san Marco and the Medici palace, both works by the architect Michelozzo Michelozzi, and then in San Lorenzo church, where the Medicis figure most prominently. Lastly, the Medici Chapels with the New Sacristy, one of Michelangelo's greatest masterpieces. As with all the tours I lead, my aim is to make your visit both informative and highly enjoyable. There is no exam at the end of the tour. WARNING: due to the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic, the venues all have peculiar opening hours and days. For this reason, it it strongly recommended that you make enquiries well in advance of your planned visit to Florence.

Your Florence tour itinerary

Bearing in mind that I can customise the tour in order to accommodate any specific needs or wishes you may need, my tour begins in Piazza San Marco, to see: - the Convent and Museum of San Marco, with its 43 chambers decorated by Fra Angelico. - Via Cavour. - Palazzo Medici Riccardi. - Piazza San Lorenzo. - Church of San Lorenzo (the complex comprises the cloister, the crypt, the Medicean Laurenzian Library and then the church itself with the Old Sacristy). - Medici Chapels (with the Mausoleum of the Medici and Michelangelo's New Sacristy).
