Retrace the history of the Medici dynasty with a professional local guide. Discover some of the city's most important monuments as you walk along the same narrow streets where the Medici walked, touch the stones used to build their residences and see the same monuments they used to see every day.

Admire Palazzo Medici Riccardi, their first residence in the San Lorenzo district, where you can find as well their church and mausoleum: the Medici Chapels. Then continue to the magnificent Cathedral and the stunning Palazzo Vecchio, their second residence which dominates the monumental Piazza della Signoria.

Next, follow from the outside the whole path of the Vasari Corridor, the secret passageway that was used by the Medici Grand Dukes to go from the Pitti Palace to their offices inside Palazzo Vecchio. The elevated corridor connects the two banks of the river Arno, passing along the enchanting Ponte Vecchio and crossing houses and Santa Felicita Church.

The majestic Pitti Palace, which hides the marvelous Boboli Gardens, is the last Florentine residence of the Medici and is also the last stage of your journey. After the tour, you'll have the chance to enjoy a three-course lunch (optional) at a typical Tuscan restaurant near Palazzo Pitti.
