Visite privée des CHAPELLES MEDICI à Florence
Description
Profitez d'une visite privée instructive des chapelles des Médicis, la dernière demeure de la célèbre dynastie qui a écrit l'histoire de Florence. Si vous êtes un amateur d’art, la visite des chapelles des Médicis est incontournable, mais sans guide, vous vous priverez d’une occasion unique d’apprendre les potins et les secrets cachés dans leurs murs. Construit comme mausolée des grands-ducs de Florence, il est devenu un musée à couper le souffle décoré des matériaux les plus précieux et incorruptibles : marbre et granit, jaspe et albâtre, lapis et bien d'autres pierres semi-précieuses. Découvrez la Nouvelle Sacristie – un autre chef-d'œuvre de Michel-Ange Buonarroti où il s'est révélé non seulement comme un sculpteur talentueux mais aussi comme un architecte expressif. Rejoignez-moi pour cette visite incroyable et naviguez en douceur dans les chapelles. Soyez le premier à voir tous les détails, en évitant tous les tracas des visites en grand groupe. IMPORTANT : Veuillez noter que la SALLE SECRET DE MICHELANGELO n'est PAS incluse dans cette visite.

Irina our guide was very Knowledgeable. We learned so much and she carried a iPad to show photos that educated us on the features in the Chapels. A plus plus plus!
A stunning chapel. Guide concentrated on Medici family history. Could get a little boring at times.
Better than I could have imagined! Irina was so knowledgeable of all the history. A Florence must do tour.
Dear Natasha, Thank you so much for this beautiful review—it truly means a lot to me! I’m so happy to hear that the Medici Chapels tour exceeded your expectations. The history of the Medici family is incredibly rich and full of fascinating stories, and it’s always a pleasure to bring it to life for my guests. I’m really glad you felt it was a “must-do” experience in Florence—that’s exactly what I hope every traveler takes away. I would love to guide you again on another Florence tour and share even more hidden gems together! Warmly, - Irina
I am a history teacher and love Medici family history. Irons did a fantastic job of explaining all of the family, and wove it so well into the history of not only Florence, but Tuscany and Italy. She also did a great job of explaining the architecture of the building. I would certainly recommend this tour. It was great. Always choose private guided tours of places like this. It is always worth it.
Dear Emma, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a real pleasure sharing the fascinating history of the Medici family with someone who already has such a strong appreciation for history. Florence truly comes alive when we connect the Medici story with the wider history of Tuscany and Italy, and I’m so glad you enjoyed discovering the architecture and the stories behind it. Thank you as well for recommending private guided tours in Florence — they really do allow us to explore these incredible places in a deeper and more meaningful way. It was a joy guiding you, and I hope Florence will bring you back for more history and discoveries in the future! Warmly, Irina
Very informative. Easy to find our guide Irena was very knowledgeable and pleasant. She answered any question we had.
Dear David, Thank you very much for your kind review! I’m so happy to hear that the meeting point was easy to find and that you enjoyed the tour. It was a pleasure guiding you through the Medici Chapels and sharing the stories and history that make this city so special. I’m also glad I could answer your questions along the way — curious guests always make a guided tour even more enjoyable. Thank you again for choosing to explore the Medici Chapels with me! Warmly, - Irina
I did a solo tour with Irina and it was my favourite. She was so generous with her time and knowledge. Her passion for the Medici's and her city shone through. I was captivated and felt like I was touring with a friend. Unlike a lot of tours, the ending is often quite pushy with the guide wanting a good review. Irina did not do this and I really appreciated it. This is a bucket list tour, without a doubt the best experience in Florence.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a beautiful review. Guiding you through the Medici Chapels was truly a joy, and it means so much to know that the stories, the history, and my love for this museum and Florence resonated with you. Your words about feeling like you were touring with a friend touched me deeply—that is exactly the kind of experience I hope to create. And I’m especially grateful for your appreciation of the way I like to end my tours; for me, the most important thing is that you walk away with something meaningful, never with pressure. Knowing this was one of your favourite experiences in Florence is the greatest compliment I could ever receive. With warmest gratitude, - Irina
Irina is a scholar. Her subject matter expertise so warmly conveyed, and easy to follow, covers the late 14th century (Giovanni) and his patronage of Baldassare Cossa who becomes Pope John XXIII thru Cosimo I, II, III, Lorenzo, Guiliano, the wives, mistresses and culminating with Anna Maria Ludovica de Medici (middle of the 18th). Her presentation was extremely well organized and supplemented by photos off her iPad - exceptional. The tour was like an easy to digest graduate-level course of the times, architectural and artistic significance of the chapels, including the source countries and regions of all the marble adorning the chapel. We learned so much and moreover my wife and I were able to discuss it later at dinner in great detail. Highly recommend. An enduring memory, A+
Dear Bruce and Catherine, Thank you so much for your wonderful words! It truly means a lot to me that you enjoyed our time together in the Medici Chapels. I absolutely loved sharing the stories about the Medici clan and seeing your curiosity and enthusiasm along the way. I always say that every tour becomes special because of the people I meet, and you made this one unforgettable. I know Florence holds a special place in your heart, and that you’ll come back soon to discover even more of its magic. With warm wishes and gratitude, Irina 🌸
Irina, our tour guide, brought the Medici family to life! Our small group of 4 highly recommend this small group tour!

You were a fantastic little group to guide, and I truly appreciate the recommendation. Wishing you all many more wonderful adventures! Warmly, - Irina
Irina was lovely and the tour was fantastic. I had been there before over 10 years ago but this time I actually learned so much more about the Medici family and the artwork in the Chapels. I was very impressed with our tour and would recommend it to anyone that is interested in Michaelangelo or the Medici family.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to hear that the tour gave you a deeper experience, especially after having visited before. The Medici and Michelangelo’s stories are so rich and layered — I’m thrilled I could help bring more of that history to life for you. It was truly a pleasure to guide you, and I’m so grateful for your warm recommendation. Wishing you many more inspiring travels! All the best, - Irina
Our guide was very kind, patient and knowledgeable. We had family that needed more time and care. We enjoyed the tour very much.
