Description
Discover Florence with a local guide who knows their stuff and dive into the city's rich history.
Although known as the cradle of the Renaissance, Florence has its roots all the way back to Roman times. Your guide will help you find your way through this history and more as you walk through the beautiful streets. He will give them an idea about the foundations of the city, the Middle Ages, and rather what we know as the Renaissance, that rebirth period when the Medicis came to power and literally changed Europe through a new kind of banking accumulating fantastic sums of money and then using these financial resources to underwrite a whole new epoch of art and science, whose reverberations continue in our lives today.
Explore Florence’s main attractions as you walk through the city.
A good share of the Medici family’s riches went into the architectural improvement of Florence, notably in building its famous Duomo Cathedral. This, along with dozens of other attractions, makes up what you are to explore in the historic center: the Palazzo Vecchio in the Piazza della Signoria; the Baptistery with its “Gates of Paradise;” Giotto’s bell tower; and Brunelleschi’s Dome. Hard will it bе to find a guided tour of Flоrеnсе thаt оffеrѕ mоrе thаn this!
