My little daughter and I did the Palazzo Vecchio tour yesterday in Florence. Our tour guide was Michele. He was a great guide in the tour and spent a lot of explaining the history of the place to my daughter which I really appreciated. He was quite knowledgeable and helpful on all aspects of the palazzo across the history of the building to the paintings. We both enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it.

I’ve been to Florence before, but this tour gave me a whole new appreciation for Palazzo Vecchio. Our guide made history come alive, sharing fascinating stories about the Medici family and the hidden details inside the palace. The small group size made it feel intimate, and the view from the terrace was the perfect way to end the experience.

This tour was absolutely incredible! Skipping the long lines made a huge difference, and our guide was so knowledgeable and engaging. Learning about the Medici family while standing in their former palace felt surreal. The highlight for me was the Salon dei 500—those frescoes are breathtaking! Highly recommend if you want a deeper dive into Florence’s history.
