About this activity

Meet our greeter at Termini station and with his help jump on a High-speed train to reach
Florence quickly saving lots of time. At the arrival meet our greeter who will welcome you and give you information about the optional activities in
Florence, you can even add a last-minute tour of
Accademia and Uffizi galleries! Then meet the
Medici Family and their intrigues in
Florence in a gourmet walking tour to discover the most typical street food
Florence can offer. Banking, commerce, and religious influence led the
Medici Family to become one of the most powerful families in
Florence, while tasting some of the best products of the
Florentine
food culture such as a Gottino (glass of Chianti wine), a selection of traditional Salami and last a delicious home-made Gelato.
The Medici story began when they migrated to
Florence from a little town in Tuscany. Our professional guide will escort you on a tour across years of history safely preserved within the architecture, palaces, churches and art that were sponsored by the
Medici Family. During the tour we will have the opportunity to observe
Palazzo Medici, Palazzo Vecchio the most important civil building in the city; where will also discuss the open air sculptures found within the
Loggia della Signoria. We will also observe the
Pitti Palace which was home to the Medici family. Strolling along the banks of the
Arno will bring us to
Ponte Vecchio, a bridge famous for its beautiful gold jewelry; on the top of the bridge is the hidden
Vasari Corridor, which allowed the
Medici family to travel secretly and safely from their home at
Pitti Palace to the government building,
Palazzo Vecchio.
