Medici Dukes tour overview

In the early 16th century, a member of the House of Medici was elected Pope Leo X; after his death, his cousin Giulio was elected Pope Clement VII. The Medici Popes paved the way to the former bankers to become a dynasty: Dukes of Florence and then Grand Dukes of Tuscany, the Medici dominated the region until 1737.

Since 1540, the Medici Dukes lived in Palazzo Vecchio, the ancient town hall, symbol of the political power in Florence. Here is where our tour starts, with the apartments of Cosimo de Medici and Eleonora di Toledo, the Duchesse. The apartments were decorated by Giorgio Vasari and his workshop, together with the huge Hall of the 500, to celebrate Cosimo and his family. We will also see the Studiolo di Francesco I, the heir of Cosimo, who was more interested in science and alchemy than in politics. Not all of the rooms in Palazzo Vecchio were changed by the Medici Dukes, some of them still have the original decoration of when Florence was a free Republic, we’ll have a chance to see the room from where Machiavelli worked as chancellor and also the death mask of Dante Alighieri, the most famous Italian poet.

With a short walk, we will then reach the Medici Chapels, where lie the bodies of the Medici Dukes. This amazing museum features the magnificent Chapel of the Princes, decorated by mosaics of semiprecious stones, something you won’t see anywhere else but in Florence, but also the tombs of Lorenzo and Giuliano de Medici in the New Sacristy, a room designed by Michelangelo which contains seven statues by the master of sculpture. You will hear the story of Michelangelo hiding from the Medici family, after helping the Republic of Florence to resist against the return of the rulers.

How is our Medici Dukes Tour different?

Well, this is an easy question: not many (if any at all) offer a Medici Dukes tour out there. This is very strange when you consider that almost everything in Florence Italy has something to do with the House of Medici. Any Florence Day Tours you will attend during your stay will include a mention of the Medici family, but this tour, in particular, is focused on the history and the biographies of the members of the family ruling the city. We think the Medici are so important that we offer Medici Dukes Tour along with another representing the prologue: Medici Bankers, focused on the 15th century when the family was ruling Florence unofficially. The traveler who wants to have a complete experience can join the two half day tours in a complete Full Day Medici Tour.

Private tour

This is a private Medici Dukes Tour. You won’t join any large or small group of tourists, it’s meant for you, your family and/or your friends. The Florence Tour Guide will be at your service for the duration of the tour, assisting you in buying skip the line tickets for the Accademia and explaining to you whatever you want to know.

Fair price

Is our Medici Dukes Tour expensive for you? Any agency will price a private 3 hours Florence Walking Tour no less than € 400. Here you can hire directly a local genuine Florence Tour Guide, so you save any agency or middlemen fees, which means paying up to 60% less. The tour is certainly expensive if you travel alone, but it’s as low as € 36/person for a family of five, and if you travel with another family of friends, it gets even lower: much less than any 3-hour Florence Day Tour offered online and much better than any shared group tour.

Full Day Medici tour overview

This tour combines Medici Bankers and Medici Dukes for a full day comprehensive tour on the history of the Medici family.

Thanks to their wealthy banking activity, the House of Medici became the richest and most powerful family in Italy. Later on, they also dominated the holy city of Rome, with two Popes in the early 16th century. The Medici Popes paved the way to the family to become a dynasty: Dukes of Florence and then Grand Dukes of Tuscany, the Medici dominated Florence until 1737.

Full Day Medici tour starts at the San Marco Museum, once a Dominican convent built with the exclusive sponsorship of the Medici Bank. We will discover the architecture designed by Michelozzo and the collection of Renaissance paintings and frescoes by Fra Angelico, a friar who embraced the new trend in arts, leading to the dramatic evolution of religious art. You will hear the story of Antonino Pierozzi, the friar who dared to take position against Cosimo the Elder, but also the story of Girolamo Savonarola, the friar who ruled Florence after the fall of the wealthy bankers.

The second stage of the Tour is in Palazzo Medici Riccardi, home of the Medici in Florence. You will be stunned by the difference between the austere facade and the magnificent chapel inside, decorated by Benozzo Gozzoli with the famous Journey of the Magi fresco, a symbol of the power of the Medici.

We will then visit the Basilica di San Lorenzo, the parish church of the Medici, completely re-built by Filippo Brunelleschi, again sponsored by the rulers of the Renaissance. His masterpiece, the Old Sacristy, contains many of the tombs of the Medici bankers.

With a short walk, we will then reach the Medici Chapels, where lie the bodies of the Medici Dukes. This amazing museum features the magnificent Chapel of the Princes, decorated by mosaics of semiprecious stones, something you won’t see anywhere else but in Florence, but also the tombs of Lorenzo and Giuliano de Medici in the New Sacristy, a room designed by Michelangelo which contains seven statues by the master of sculpture. You will hear the story of Michelangelo hiding from the Medici family, after helping the Republic of Florence to resist against the return of the rulers.

We take a break for lunch, before moving, as the Medici family did, to Palazzo Vecchio.

In 1540, the Medici Dukes left Palazzo Medici to move to Palazzo Vecchio, the ancient town hall, symbol of the political power in Florence. We’ll see the apartments of Cosimo de Medici and Eleonora di Toledo, the Duchesse, decorated by Giorgio Vasari and his workshop, together with the huge Hall of the 500, to celebrate Cosimo and his family. We will also see the Studiolo di Francesco I, the heir of Cosimo, who was more interested in science and alchemy than in politics. Not all of the rooms in Palazzo Vecchio were changed by the Medici Dukes, some of them still have the original decoration of when Florence was a free Republic, we’ll have a chance to see the room from where Machiavelli worked as chancellor and also the death mask of Dante Alighieri, the most famous Italian poet.

  • Fra Angelico – Tabernacolo dei Linaioli
  • Fra Angelico – Annunciation
  • Domenico del Ghirlandaio – Last Supper
  • Benozzo Gozzoli – Journey of the Magi

Full day Michelangelo Tour overview

This tour allows you to have a full day immersion in the life and works of Michelangelo.

Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) is considered the father and master of all arts. Sculptor, architect, painter and poet, the Florentine artist raised the Renaissance to its highest point. Most of his works are split between Rome and Florence, this tour dives into the life and works of Michelangelo visiting all the main attractions related to the master artist.

We start the tour in Piazza San Lorenzo, in the heart of the Medici, to speak of the young Michelangelo and visit the Medici Chapels. You will get to know why the statues do not resemble the real aspect of Lorenzo and Giuliano de Medici and what Michelangelo actually intended to represent.

The second stage of the tour features the most famous statue in the world: Michelangelo’s David. In the Accademia Gallery we will analyze the unique sculptural technique of Michelangelo through the unfinished Slaves. You will be told the story of how Michelangelo created his masterpiece from a low quality block of marble, how he reacted to criticism and how the statue was destined to a totally different location, analyzing the different symbology of this David compared to the earlier statues we’ll see later at the Bargello Museum. In the ancient Bargello Palace (1255), you will be told about how the building was a prison, where people was tortured and condemned to death. We will see where Michelangelo comes from, through the works by Donatello and Andrea del Verrocchio, discovering how David was a symbol of Florence well before Michelangelo dealt with his huge statue. We will then admire some of his early masterpieces and you will get to know the incredible way the young artist earned a prestigious commission in Rome and the hidden symbology behind his portrait of Brutus, probably related to a member of the Medici family.

We finish the first part of the tour in Piazza Santa Croce, filled with typical restaurants, for a lunch break.

Santa Croce district is one of the ancient four quarters of the Medieval Florence. Once a swamp, often flooded by the river Arno, it became the base for the Franciscan friars that arrived in Florence in the 13th century. The construction of the Basilica and the beautiful square started in 1294 when Florence was the largest town in Europe. Santa Croce is also the district of Michelangelo, and we will visit Casa Buonarroti, his home, a museum displaying some of the very first works of the master artist, like the Madonna Della Scala and the Battle of the Centaurs, made by a teenager Michelangelo at the service of Lorenzo the Magnificent.

We then move back to Piazza Santa Croce, the rectangular square, to speak about the curiosities of this place, like the fact it has been used (and still is) to play historical football games. Finally we will visit the Basilica di Santa Croce, known as the temple of Italian glories. Inside, you’ll see the tombs of Michelangelo, Galileo Galilei, Niccolò Machiavelli, Gioacchino Rossini and more illustrious Italians. The church is filled with frescoes, mainly by Giotto and his followers, the pioneers that paved the way for the Renaissance. You will discover how Giorgio Vasari restructured the church after the Catholic counter-reformation, and you will see sculptures by Donatello, glazed terracotta by Luca Della Robbia and altarpieces by Bronzino. The sacristy features the symbol of the damage Florence suffered in the 1966 flood, a painted cross by Cimabue, and you will hear a story about the “Angels of Mud”.

Out in the courtyard of Santa Croce stands a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture: the Pazzi Chapel by Filippo Brunelleschi. You will relax sitting on the benches of the Chapel while your guide tells you about the Pazzi conspiracy, the plot to kill the members of the Medici family.

Finally, we’ll visit the refectory of the convent, where is the most ancient Last Supper fresco in Florence.

How is Full Day Michelangelo Tour different?

Different from what? You won’t find Full Day Michelangelo tours including all the Michelangelo masterpieces anywhere else. Some Michelangelo Tours do not even include the Accademia Gallery (David)!

Why? Because agencies and tour operators are concerned with selling you as many tours as possible: so if any other tour in their list includes the Accademia, they want you to buy that tour as well. We are different: even though the Accademia Gallery is included in two more tours in our list (Florence Walking Tour and Florence in a Day), we want to give you a complete perspective of Michelangelo masterpieces in Florence and this cannot be done without the Accademia Gallery, displaying seven works of the master including David, the most famous one.

As you can see we are not concerned with selling you as many tours as possible but with giving you the best possible experience. By the way, if you want to buy another tour that includes the same attractions, we will adapt it so that you’ll never see the same attractions twice.

Private tour

This is a private Full Day Michelangelo Tour. You won’t join any large or small group of tourists, it’s meant for you, your family and/or your friends. The Florence Tour Guide will be at your service for the duration of the tour, assisting you in buying skip the line tickets for the Accademia and explaining to you whatever you want to know.

Fair price

Is our Full Day Michelangelo Tour expensive for you? Any agency will price a private 6 hours Florence Walking Tour no less than € 800. Here you’re directly hiring a local genuine Florence Tour Guide, so you save any agency or middlemen fees, which means paying up to 60% less. The tour is certainly expensive if you travel alone, but it’s as low as € 132/person for a family of five: much less than any 6-hour Florence Day Tours offered online and a much better experience than any shared group tour.
