📖

Full description

Starting with reserved entry to the Medici Chapels, the tour shows the Chapel of the Princes, decorated with marble and semi-precious stones, and Michelangelo's sculpted tombs in the New Sacristy. The guide then explains the family's rise through banking, their rivalries and their hold on Florentine power, linking the story to the exterior of Palazzo Medici Riccardi, San Lorenzo, the cathedral square and Piazza della Signoria, finishing near the Uffizi.

Michelangelo's secret room is only discussed from outside. Reviewers praise knowledgeable guides, small groups and a quieter feel than typical Florence sights.
