About this experience
Relive the story of the family that managed to become the symbol of a city, facing countless obstacles, betrayals and victories. Explore the most symbolic places of the Medici family in Florence, the most famous city of the Renaissance. See where many of the scenes from the tv series “THE MEDICI” took place. Uncover the true essence of the main characters of the Medici Family, Lorenzo the Magnificent, Cosimo the Elder or Piero the Unfortunate. But also explore the amazing palaces of enemy families like the Strozzi, Albizi, and Pazzi. Together we will visit the Palazzo Medici, a famous architectural work of the fifteenth century and the beautiful Chapel of the Magi, which was painted by Benozzo Gozzoli. We will also visit a secret place where the genius Michelangelo learned to sculpt, under the shadow of one of Donatello’s pupils, the Bertoldo.

What you'll see and do
Palazzo Medici Riccardi
The first Medici palace, the home of Cosimo the Elder & Lorenzo the Magnificent & the workplace of artists of the calibre of Donatello, Michelangelo, Paolo Uccello, Benozzo Gozzoli and Botticelli. The Renaissance house… where it all began. Towards 1444 Cosimo the Eldest, the patriarch of the Medici family, commissioned to Michelozzo a palace to be built in via Larga (now via Cavour), close to the church of San Lorenzo: the palace is the first Renaissance building erected in Florence. Characterised by clearly delineated and rusticated floors & a huge cornice crowning the roofline, the palace stands out for the arched windows arranged along its front & the partially closed loggia on the corner of the building. In 1517 the original building was altered by closing the loggia & adding the two "kneeling" windows according to Michelangelo's project. The palace continued to be inhabited by the lesser members of the family until 1659, when Ferdinando II sold it to the Riccardi marquises.

Excellent overview of the Medici and their importance to Florence
This is a great tour for learning about or refreshing knowledge of the Medici. Our guide Giacomo was excellent, extremely knowledgeable and very courteous. Highly recommend.

Multilingual mistake
It was difficult to understand. We specified we wanted English and it was bilangual. She was not clear in English. Took twice as long and half as interesting.
Response from the operator: Dear Roger Hansen, Hope you are doing well. Thank you for letting us know your point of view. We are very upset to see a 2-star review on a tour everybody loves. About Multilingual mistake: In the part of the remaining information that customers must know before the booking, it was noted that the guide service may be provided in two languages. About the guide: she is our sweet and knowledgeable guide from Ucraine and her English accent has sometimes a Ucrain background that maybe you did not like. Her English is fluent, as she graduated in art history at London University, so she has spent many years in London. In any case, thank you for your remarks. Kind regards, Magelline Team

Not a Medici Tour
The tour guide, Cristina, was excellent and her knowledge very good. The tour is “sold” as complimentary to the Netflix Series “Medici” which I have seen and enjoyed. Yet, the tour is more about the architecture of the Medici’s first home with details about them. Definitely not a complimentary tour for the series though. With that being my main objective, to explore areas I have seen on Netflix, this was not that tour.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Medici Tour in Florence: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Medici Tour in Florence cost?
+
Prices start at $50 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 Medici Tour in Florence 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 Medici Tour in Florence worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 11 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 Medici Tour in Florence?
+
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 Medici Tour in Florence 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 Medici Tour in Florence?
+
Around 4 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 Medici Tour in Florence 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.
