Florence Walk and Talk - On the Medici's footsteps

Get the chance to have a taste of one of the most important and charming cities of UNESCO World Heritage. Walk through the amazing centre of Florence and discover its unique secular heritage and breathtaking beauty with an expert and fun tour guide.

This tour explores the historical and architectural evolution factors from the Roman foundation through the medieval centuries and its Renaissance glorious period up to modern times in Florence. Learn about the Medici: masters of Florence.

The Medici family rose to become famous and revered throughout the Western world in the 14th and 15th Centuries. The Medici came to power at a time of great social and economic inequality. They were great disrupters. Their banking practices led to the creation of a middle class, making them unimaginably wealthy. The Medici in turn used their vast power and resources to challenge traditional thinking, ushering in a new era of revolutionary art and science such as the world had never seen: the Renaissance. It's a powerful story that resonates even now.

Our professional guide will take you to some of the most important spots where the greatest minds and artists have stood and been inspired.

During this walk, you will see Piazza della Signoria with the town hall Palazzo Vecchio, the Duomo, the Baptistery with its ‘Gates of Paradise’, Giotto’s independent bell tower, Brunelleschi’s Dome, Santa Trinita and Orsanmichele Church, Pontevecchio Bridge, and the secret Vasari Corridor, as well as famous shopping streets and the Oltrarno – the fourth and last district, the manual crafts neighbourhood.

Also, stop for a surprise “tasting”, a nice and delicious break during your pleasant walk.
