Step into the heart of Florence's history with an exclusive private tour of Palazzo Vecchio, where the power and artistry of the Medici dynasty come alive just for you
Florence's seat of power, privately yours
Embark on an exclusive journey through the heart of Florence's political and artistic history with a private tour of Palazzo Vecchio. Rising over Piazza della Signoria since the beginning of the fourteenth century, the palazzo has been the seat of Florentine power for over 700 years, first the medieval republic, then the Medici dukes, and still today the city's town hall. With a dedicated expert guide all to yourselves, its stories and secrets unfold at exactly your pace.
The Salone dei Cinquecento and the Medici apartments
From Michelozzo's graceful courtyard, step into the grand Salone dei Cinquecento, the awe-inspiring council hall adorned with monumental frescoes and sculptures reflecting the city's tumultuous history, where you'll discover works by Michelangelo, Donatello, and Vasari. Then wander the Medici family's private apartments, where opulent furnishings, intricate tapestries and Renaissance masterpieces bring the past vividly to life, and finish in the remarkable Hall of Maps, papered with sixteenth-century visions of the world.
The Arnolfo Tower, your ticket to the view
Your visit includes a ticket to the Arnolfo Tower and walkway, which you can climb independently after the guided portion. The reward for the stairs is one of the finest panoramas in the city: the Duomo, the rooftops and the Tuscan hills beyond. (The climb is unguided, is challenging for those with mobility issues, and the tower may close in bad weather.)
