9.The Medici Experience Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 151 reviews · 3 hours · from $256

Spend three private hours with a multilingual guide such as Giacomo, Marianna, or Francesca, touring Palazzo Medici and walking through Florence’s Medici landmarks, including the Chapel of the Magi, Piazza San Lorenzo, the Duomo, and Palazzo Pazzi.

“My husband did this. This was an excellent private tour, the guide was very friendly, informative and accommodating. The only thing I would say could be improved is some of the information about the tour. This tour was described as three hours and it ended up being an hour and a half. Which is fine, but I skipped it because I was feeling tired, and I don’t think I would have if I had known it was shorter. The description also said masks and passports were required, neither of which he ended up needing. The guide Ricardo was amazing though! And of course the palace was spectacular!”
