Florence · PALAZZO VECCHIO TOURS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 4 palazzo vecchio tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Enter Palazzo Vecchio from Piazza della Signoria, collect your guide at the InfoPoint, and explore Medici rooms, Vasari’s Salone dei Cinquecento, and Renaissance art at your own pace. Add Arnolfo’s Tower for superb views, weather permitting.
“We loved climbing the tower and enjoying the view. The audio guide tablet was pretty cool.”
Spend 90 minutes inside Florence’s Palazzo Vecchio with a certified guide such as Ivan, Francesca, Sara, or Lorenzo. See the vast Hall of the Five Hundred, Medici apartments, Bronzino’s chapel, and the map room while learning the palace’s political and artistic story. Tower entry costs extra.
“Lovely tour!! Palazzo Vecchio is unbelievably amazing. Our guide Sara was excellent and gave us all the information of the palace and its residents and the renaissance time period. Highly recommend this tour and if possible Sara as your guide.”
Meet an English-speaking host by Palazzo Vecchio and Michelangelo’s David, exchange your voucher, then enter without waiting at the ticket line. Spend about an hour with an audio guide among Vasari frescoes, Medici rooms, Donatello works, and the Hall of the Five Hundred. Bring your own headphones.
“avoir les messages en français et surtout les contact en français au téléphone quand il y un problème comme nous avons eu ( annulation de dernière minute de nos billets pour le palais Vecchio)”
Meet your English-speaking guide in Piazza della Signoria for a 90-minute visit to Palazzo Vecchio. You’ll see the Medici palace, hear the stories behind its art, and tour in a group capped at 15. Guides have included Ivan, Elizabeth, Silvia, Leo, and Veronica, though assignments vary.
“The tour was actually booked for two but one of us was unwell so it turned out to be a personal single person tour for me alone. Leo, my guide was prompt and easy to find at the meeting point. He was friendly and a mine of useful information, readily able to answer the many questions I had. He put into historical context the art treasures and the intriguing iconographic detail we saw around the Palazzo. A tour hosted by 'Florence Pass' to be thoroughly recommended.”
Pick a gallery, a kitchen or a road out of town.
