My private tour will allow you to discover Florence’s historic center from multiple perspectives. I will reveal the archaeological secrets hidden within the city: its Roman foundation, the remains of the Forum, the Roman Theatre and Amphitheatre, the Baths, and the first city walls.
I will tell you the story of the Medici family and the rise to power of a dynasty that ruled Florence for over three centuries and later the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.
Together, we will discover many artistic and architectural masterpieces from the Middle Ages and the golden age of the Renaissance.
Anecdotes, intrigues, and aspects of daily life in the city over the centuries will be an integral part of the tour.
I will introduce you to the history of many illustrious figures connected to Florence, such as Dante, Giotto, Brunelleschi, Donatello, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Benvenuto Cellini, and many others.
I will immerse you in the spirit of the time, and by the end of the tour you will understand the true essence of Florence.
