Stop At: Ponte Vecchio, 50125, Florence Italy

Your tour will begin in central Florence, where you’ll join up with your guide and set out into the evening. As you travel the historic streets and squares, hear about how the medieval era paved the way for Florence’s Golden Age. Your guide will discuss how the city’s commercial wealth during that period was off-set by dangerous power struggles and cut-throat business dealings.

No trip to Florence is complete without hearing the name Medici, the influential family who found themselves at the center of many scandals throughout the Middle Ages. Visit the Palazzo di Bianca Cappello, constructed by Cosimo Medici for his mistress and hear the story behind the couple’s mysterious deaths. Then, head past the residence of the one of Medicis’ greatest rivals, the Palazzo Strozzi, built for the Strozzi family. Continue on to the lavish Palazzo di Parte Guelfa, the headquarters of the Guelph family, another political rival of the Medici family.

Afterward, follow your guide toward some of Florence most beloved sites, such as the bustling Piazza della Signoria and the Uffizi Gallery, home to masterpieces from Botticelli, Michelangelo and more. As the sun goes down, stroll to the Arno River and admire a scenic view of the Ponte Vecchio.

Your final stop will be at one of Florence’s top gelato shops, where you can select from a wide of array of delicious flavors and walk the streets like a real Florentine, with ice cream in hand. After two hours of history, intrigue and sightseeing, your tour will conclude in central Florence, at Ponte Santa Trinità.

This is a nice little tour that takes you around quite a bit of the old city, with lots of interesting tales about its most important medieval families. It gives you a nice glimpse of how life was at the time and it's a great way to learn where some of the key sites are and see them when they're not surrounded by tourists.

We have visited Florence before and wanted to experience a different perspective of the city. Our guide showed us places we would have not seen otherwise. The gelato we had is by far the best gelato. This place has had many rewards. Santa Maria Gelateria.

Medieval Florence walking tour was great. Our tour guide knew all the ins and outs of Florence proper and kept everyone interested. She was knowledgeable and it was fun to hear her individual stories about the sights.

Angelo made this tour come alive and kept us all engaged in the mysterious side of Florence! He's a great story teller with a wonderful sense of humor, going above and beyond our expectations. We appreciated the little known facts and their link to the 'great' families that established Florence as a power. We highly recommend this tour!!
