This small group walking tour takes you through the less crowded southern part of Florence, with stops inside every building along the way. You'll learn about the Medici family in order, putting faces to the names you’ve heard, and discover their impact on the city. The tour also covers Michelangelo’s life, including his education, his relationship with the Medici family, and the story behind his first statue. By the end of the tour, you'll have a complete understanding, so when you visit the Accademia to see David, you'll know exactly what you're looking at.
