Santa Croce Marvel
We had the pleasure of touring Santa Croce with Annette, and she was absolutely outstanding. She has an incredible depth of knowledge, but what really sets her apart is her ability to bring history to life. She didn't just point out the highlights; she helped us understand what was happening in Florence at the time, why the church was built the way it was, and how the people, politics, and art all fit together. That context made the entire visit so much more meaningful. She also welcomed questions throughout the tour and answered every one of them thoughtfully and thoroughly. It was obvious that she genuinely loves what she does. We've done many guided tours over the years, and Annette ranks among the very best. If you're visiting Santa Croce, do yourself a favor and book a tour with her and you'll leave with a much deeper appreciation of this extraordinary place.

ANNETTE is amazing
What a fabulous experience. Loved the art, the church and the history. Our tour guide was Annette and she is incredibly knowledgeable, we learned ao much from her. The tour was paced well, did not feel rushed and we enjoyed every minute.

Tuscany
Stayed in Pisa for three nights. Lovely city and plenty to see other than the obvious. Then to Florence. What an experience. Instead of five nights, a month might suffice there is so much to see and do. Night life brilliant. Very much a young persons city. Crowds everywhere. On to Viareggio for another five nights. Just the right place to relax after the hectic days before.

Sante Croce
Francisco was an excellent guide. He brought the whole experience to life. A big thank you to him. The whole experience was pure delightful. The history and magic of the place was a pure joy. The experience of Sante Croce will not be forgotten.

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Michelangelo, Machiavelli & Galileo Tombs Semi-Private 8ppl Max: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Michelangelo, Machiavelli & Galileo Tombs Semi-Private 8ppl Max cost?
+
Prices start at $10 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 Michelangelo, Machiavelli & Galileo Tombs Semi-Private 8ppl Max 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 Michelangelo, Machiavelli & Galileo Tombs Semi-Private 8ppl Max worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 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 Michelangelo, Machiavelli & Galileo Tombs Semi-Private 8ppl Max?
+
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 Michelangelo, Machiavelli & Galileo Tombs Semi-Private 8ppl Max 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 Michelangelo, Machiavelli & Galileo Tombs Semi-Private 8ppl Max?
+
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 Michelangelo, Machiavelli & Galileo Tombs Semi-Private 8ppl Max 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.
