Itinerario
El Palazzo Medici Riccardi es una piedra angular de la arquitectura renacentista en Florencia y un símbolo del temprano ascenso de la familia Medici al poder. Encargado por Cosme de Médici a mediados del siglo XV y diseñado por Michelozzo, el palacio fue uno de los primeros edificios en reflejar los nuevos ideales de proporción, simetría e influencia clásica. Detrás de su austera fachada de piedra rústica se encuentra un interior refinado, incluida la impresionante Capilla de los Reyes Magos, decorada con vibrantes frescos de Benozzo Gozzoli que celebran la riqueza y la influencia de los Medici. Más tarde ampliado por la familia Riccardi, el palacio combina poder político, innovación artística y legado familiar, ofreciendo una visión tranquila pero poderosa de la edad de oro de Florencia.
Piazza del Duomo es el corazón monumental de Florencia, donde algunos de los monumentos más emblemáticos de la ciudad se unen en un impresionante conjunto de arte y arquitectura. Dominando la plaza se encuentra la Catedral de Santa María del Fiore, con la cúpula de Brunelleschi elevándose sobre el horizonte, una obra maestra de la ingeniería y la belleza. Cerca de allí, el campanario de Giotto añade elegancia vertical, mientras que el Baptisterio de San Giovanni, con su intrincada fachada de mármol y las doradas “Puertas del Paraíso”, se erige como uno de los edificios más antiguos y venerados de la ciudad. La plaza está constantemente viva con el movimiento de los visitantes, el eco de los pasos sobre piedra y el asombro que proviene de pararse en la encrucijada de la historia, la fe y el genio artístico.
La Basílica de San Lorenzo es una de las iglesias más antiguas e históricamente más ricas de Florencia, profundamente ligada al legado de la familia Medici. Originalmente consagrada en el siglo IV y reconstruida en el siglo XV con diseños de Brunelleschi, la basílica combina la armonía renacentista con la simplicidad espiritual. Su fachada llana contrasta con la riqueza de su interior, que alberga obras de Donatello y elegantes capillas llenas de arte y simbolismo. Más famosa es la Capilla de los Médicis, tumbas monumentales diseñadas por Miguel Ángel, donde están enterradas generaciones de la poderosa familia. San Lorenzo no es solo una iglesia, sino un espejo de la transformación de Florencia a través de la fe, el arte y el poder político.
Piazza della Signoria es el centro histórico de poder de Florencia, dominado por el imponente Palazzo Vecchio. Es un museo al aire libre lleno de obras maestras del Renacimiento, incluyendo una réplica del David de Miguel Ángel, la Fuente de Neptuno y sorprendentes estatuas bajo la Loggia dei Lanzi. La cercana Galería de los Uffizi vincula la plaza con el legado artístico de Florencia, convirtiéndola en una vibrante mezcla de historia, arte y vida cívica.
Ponte Vecchio es el puente más antiguo e icónico de Florencia, conocido por su pintoresca fila de joyerías y su encanto medieval único. Por encima de ella corre el Corredor Vasari, un pasadizo elevado oculto construido en 1565 para conectar el Palazzo Vecchio con el Palacio Pitti. Diseñado para los Medici, les permitió moverse por la ciudad sin ser vistos, ofreciendo una vista secreta de Florencia desde arriba de las bulliciosas calles. Juntos, el puente y el corredor encarnan la mezcla de belleza, poder e ingenio de la ciudad.
El Palacio Pitti es una gran residencia renacentista en Florencia, una vez hogar de la familia Medici. Detrás de su enorme fachada de piedra se encuentran salas ricamente decoradas y museos de clase mundial, incluida la Galería Palatina con obras maestras de Rafael y Tiziano. El palacio se abre a los jardines de Boboli, un amplio y elegante espacio verde lleno de esculturas, fuentes y vistas panorámicas. Es un lugar donde el esplendor real y el patrimonio artístico se encuentran en el corazón del barrio de Oltrarno.

Isabella is an endless source of knowledge and information about art, the Medici history, her beautiful city and cultural perspective. Her sense of humor is wonderful. I was so engaged and motivated to learn much more about Florence and all of its treasures. She is a true educator and approaches her profession with professionalism, enthusiasm, energy and commitment. Great experience! Brava!
We booked the tour because it sounded amazing on Viator/trip advisor however we soon discovered what was represented to us was not accurate and the tour didn’t include admissions or entry into any buildings, court yards or private passageways etc. When we sought an explanation from “Accord” the tour operator, they stated “ The overview description is written by Viator copywriters, not by our Tour Operator, the same regarding the advertising of this tour so if you'd like to forward a complaint you can do it directly with their customer service” So not only did they concede the advertising and description of their tour on Viator is wrong they sought to distance themselves and not honour those representations which was the reason we booked the tour. Further it appears they are not going to correct the misrepresentations in the future. So essentially we paid a premium price to be walked past historical buildings. The only saving grace was Mark our tour guide who was lovely, passionate and did his best in what was awkward circumstances. My recommendation is do not book this tour. Do your research, stay away from Viator and Accord and go with a local direct tour guide. We believe we are reasonable people and when we reached out to the tour operator they dismissed our complaint and concerns and we believe it is important that future tourists are aware that what is represented is not what you get.
Dear Megan, Thank you for the time you dedicated to us and for the opportunity to improve that your review provides. First of all, we regret that your experience was not entirely positive, and we are encouraged by the fact that our guide, Marco, was so kind and helpful. However, I would like to clarify some facts that I believe are the reason for this misunderstanding. The tour you purchased is a walk through the streets of Florence accompanied by our expert and capable guide, who, while walking along the specially designed route, describes the points of interest encountered. Most of the attractions are squares and bridges where there is no entrance ticket; some, however, are palaces, such as Palazzo Pitti, but nowhere in the product description do we mention entry to any of these places. Our mistake was to describe the tickets for various points of the itinerary as "free," which is true for all the points of interest described in the itinerary except for the last one, Palazzo Pitti. Apart from this oversight, I believe it is also common sense to understand that the tour lasts 2 hours, so how could it be possible to enter and visit all the palaces encountered? It takes at least 2 hours just to visit Palazzo Pitti. I want to clarify that we have never blamed the excellent copywriters at Viator since the oversight was on our part. It's not true that we said we didn't want to change the wording, which could be misleading, given that as soon as we discovered the error, we promptly updated it. We can make mistakes; no one is perfect, but we certainly have no intention of scamming or misleading. You write as if the entire product description was written to deceive and promise false things when, in fact, it was an error on our part that simply concerns a single, small point. I renew our regret for the misunderstanding and for not being able to make your visit more enjoyable, but I consider it exaggerated to describe Viator and us as deceivers for a small mistake that we promptly corrected thanks to your feedback. I hope that, in light of this explanation, you can reconsider your review with a few more "stars." Sincerely, ACCORD Team
This tour was informative and interesting! It helped that our tour guide is the “last Medici” and is a history teacher gallivanting around telling us stories of the times.
