Overview

This tour has been my best selling one for over 15 years. Customers finish the tour truly understanding the importance of the Renaissance and the Medici family. We cover topics that to many society's today are taboo but during the Renaissance were part of everyday life. I love sharing the ironic, strange & different daily routines of Renaissance Florence.

All tours are considered semi-private up to 11 people. If your party is composed of 12 people or more people it automatically becomes 100% private.

What's Included

  • Personal headsets are provided if the group exceeds 7 people
  • A booking of 12 or more people is automatically considered a 100% private tour
  • A booking up to 11 people is consdered a semi private group size
