Florence & The Medici: Guardians Of The Renaissance
Florence & the Medici names are bound together like art and light. For nearly 3 centuries, this illustrious family guided the city’s destiny, nurturing the genius of Michelangelo, financing Brunelleschi’s soaring dome & filling Florence with treasures that still echo through time. They were more than rulers: they were visionaries, patrons, and seekers of beauty. Their legacy lives on not only in the stones of Florence, but in the spirit of the Renaissance itself. Join this tour & walk in their footsteps of Medici: Through the Palazzo Medici Riccardi, austere on the outside, golden within, where the Chapel of the Magi glimmers like a hidden jewel. Into the Medici Chapels, where marble, mosaic & silence entwine to honor centuries of power & devotion. Beneath the gaze of Michelangelo’s genius in the New Sacristy, where architecture becomes sculpture & stone seems to breathe. To follow the Medici is to trace the heartbeat of the Renaissance, where faith, ambition & beauty became one.

Where this sits in Florence
Florence is about 8 min by road from Florence Peretola Airport. Compact enough to cross on foot in half an hour, and holding more Renaissance art than most countries. Busy in the middle and calm five minutes out; the Oltrarno side of the river is where people actually live and eat.
