Overpriced for what you get
During this tour, you only go inside the Medici crypt, tomb, and the new sacristy. You do not go into the Palazzo Medici Riccardi. That means, for the last hour or so, you walk around the squares of Florence covering information that every other basic walking tour of Florence does. I was tempted to leave early. The guide provided some interesting information, but lacked the quantity of details and stories I would have expected on a Medici-specific tour.

Rip-Off with No Customer Service
This company offers no customer service. If you are even 5 minutes late they leave, and refuse to refund any of the fees you paid. Also, there office person is difficult to understand and hung up on me. If I could give a “zero” rating I would. Buyer beware, this company just takes your money!!
Response from the operator: Hi Robert, You were 19 minutes late and at the incorrect meeting spot. Of course, the group departed as scheduled. As these are scheduled group tours with timed entries and other guests waiting, our guides are unable to delay departures once the tour has started. This is especially important at sites with strict entrance windows and pre-reserved tickets. Do not be late.

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Florence: Guided Tour Medici Family Secrets, Chapels and History: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Florence: Guided Tour Medici Family Secrets, Chapels and History cost?
+
Prices start at $75 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Florence: Guided Tour Medici Family Secrets, Chapels and History take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.
Is Florence: Guided Tour Medici Family Secrets, Chapels and History worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Florence: Guided Tour Medici Family Secrets, Chapels and History?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Florence: Guided Tour Medici Family Secrets, Chapels and History suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Florence: Guided Tour Medici Family Secrets, Chapels and History?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Florence: Guided Tour Medici Family Secrets, Chapels and History start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici Tales - guided by a STORYTELLER, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class & Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Florence?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Florence?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
