Description
Visit Florence with a local tour guide and learn about the city’s fascinating history
Florence is best known for being the birthplace of the Renaissance, but did you know the city actually dates back to Roman times? Find all that out and more as you wander the stunning streets with your English-speaking guide. They’ll tell you all about the foundations of the city and the medieval period. And of course, the Renaissance when the Medici family came to power. The family revolutionised Europe with their banking practices and became unimaginably wealthy. And they used their riches to usher in a new era of revolutionary art and science which still has effects today.

That’s one of the many sites in the historic centre you’ll visit, along with the Piazza della Signoria and its Palazzo Vecchio, the Baptistery and the “Gates of Paradise,” Giotto’s belltower and Brunelleschi’s Dome. You’ll struggle to find a tour of Florence that shows you more!
