Medici Chapels and New Sacristy Guided Tour in Florence
Walk the burial complex and trace Michelangelo’s work with an expert guide
1 h 30 min
Max 15 Guests
Florence’s Medici ruled through money, politics, and carefully managed image, and they designed their burial chapels the same way. The Medici Chapels are the family’s tomb complex, and seeing them in person makes their ambition feel real, from the stark Crypt to the glittering Chapel of the Princes and Michelangelo’s New Sacristy. Prebooked entry and the guidance of an expert guide ensure you understand what you are looking at instead of just walking past marble.

Itinerary
Your tour begins at the Medici Chapels entrance
Meet your guide outside the Medici Chapels by San Lorenzo in central Florence. Check in, then slip past the long ticket lines and enter a mausoleum built to project Medici power.
Descend into the Medici Crypt
Step down into the quiet Crypt where the Grand Dukes of Tuscany lie in stark rows. Your guide surfaces the rivalries, sudden endings, and the choices that shaped Florence long after the funerals.
Stand beneath the Chapel of the Princes
Move into the Chapel of the Princes and let the scale hit you first, then the details. You trace glowing hard-stone inlays and learn how this room became a permanent statement of wealth, control, and legacy.
Your tour ends at the Medici Chapels entrance
Return to the entrance with Michelangelo’s New Sacristy and the family’s long shadow still fresh in your mind. From here, you can step straight into the San Lorenzo area for markets, cafés, or a walk toward the Duomo.
