Privé-Medici-kapellen en bezoek met gids aan het San Lorenzo-plein
Beschrijving
Ontdek de iconische sculpturen van Michelangelo - Twilight, Dawn, Day en Night - in de adembenemende Sacrestia Nuova, een architectonisch meesterwerk dat hij zelf ontwierp. Bewonder de luxueuze details van de Cappella dei Principi, versierd met ingewikkelde polychrome marmers, zeldzame stenen en edelstenen. Deze grote kapel inspireerde de oprichting van de Opificio delle Pietre Dure, nu bekend als een van 's werelds toonaangevende restauratiewerkplaatsen en musea. Duik in de geschiedenis van de Medici-familie in de Cripta del Buontalenti, gelegen onder de kapel. Recente ontdekkingen uit opgravingen hebben fascinerende inzichten opgeleverd in hun gezondheid, levensstijl en mysterieuze doodsoorzaken. Ontdek de verbluffende architectuur van de San Lorenzo-kerk en het historische Palazzo Medici Riccardi en dompel uzelf onder in de rijke geschiedenis en schoonheid van het Renaissance-erfgoed van Florence.

Our guide Irene was outstanding. She has excellent English language skills and it was a pleasure to be with her during this experience. Her knowledge of the history of Italy, Florence and the Medici dynasty is excellent. She is able to explain the nuances in art, architecture and the centuries of change. We highly recommend booking this as a private tour experience. Ask for Irene as your guide!! Ciao!

I can’t say enough about Andreas. He is an incredible guide and teacher. He realized that we were interested in understanding the rise and influence of the Medici family in Florence. And he really delivered. His knowledge was proven to be extensive and interesting. He made it a very interesting tour.
Guide was late. Interesting facts on Medicci but not much more than one could get from reading the signs. Chapels are beautiful! Neighborhood tour really non-existent - a few word on front of church. Expected more info about the Medicci in the neighborhood. Tour was only 1 hour - not worth the price paid.
Andrea is amazing. We are so grateful to learn so much about rich history of Florence and Medici family. Highly recommend this tour
Our guide was knowledgable and friendly and arrived on time. He covered Medici and Michelangelo history and answered our questions. Having a private tour guide was a wonderful experience to learn the most and avoid the crowds. Thank you -
An excellent, thoughtful tour. Our guide knew the history of the Medici family inside-out and shared insights about why and how the chapels were constructed.
We spent a fabulous afternoon thanks to Guido, who organized a wonderful guided tour in the footsteps of the Medici family. Our guide, very prepared, first illustrated the Medici Chapels and then accompanied us on a beautiful walk in the most significant places of the family. Recommended for all those who want to admire the beauty of the city in a fun and informal way, savoring the real Florence.
Gentile O5666EDlaurac, la ringraziamo per aver condiviso la sua esperienza con noi e i nostri lettori! Firenze è uno scrigno di tesori tutto da scoprire e sapere di essere riusciti a soddisfare le sue aspettative non può che renderci orgogliosi. Con la speranza di incontrarla di nuovo in futuro, cordiali saluti
Andrea Baldaccini was our tour guide and was incredibly knowledgeable about the Medici Family and the relationship with the various artists including an amazing explanation of the portion of the chapel designed by Michelangelo. Andrea dove into our imagination of what the time was like when the chapel was built and pointed out the small details including the flawless colored stone pieces that looked like paintings. This tour is must just to give you a historic perspective of the who is who when and where of Florence's renaissance. 5 stars to Andrea and Caf tours. Our tour was three adults and did not include San Lorenzo Square but Andrea gave us a quick overview anyway.
