This is not your typical free tour. It is an immersion into the history of Florence, told as if it were a movie: betrayals, conspiracies, art, power and genius combine in this tour centred on the Medici and Michelangelo.

Follow the rise and fall of the Medici family, the most influential clan in Renaissance Florence. You will understand how they wove their web of power and how they left an indelible mark on politics, economics and, above all, art. You will be amazed at how they literally shaped the city you are seeing with your own eyes.

But that's not all: this tour is also a journey through Michelangelo's life and work, from his humble beginnings to becoming a universal genius. You'll see his first sculpture, hear his full biography, and learn about his links with the Medici, who were both a driving force and an obstacle in his career.

During the tour you will visit the interiors of three historical monuments and stop for a coffee at Ditta Artigianale, one of the best coffee shops in Florence. In addition, the tour ends in an area full of restaurants, perfect to continue the experience with a good local lunch (not included).
