Departure from
Florence
Step into the heart of Florence and uncover the city’s timeless artistic spirit. This half-day guided walking tour explores three of Florence’s most remarkable churches—Santa Maria Novella, San Lorenzo, and Santa Croce—each a masterpiece of architecture, history, and devotion. As you journey through these sacred spaces, you’ll witness the evolution of Renaissance art and the power of Florence’s great families, from the Medici’s patronage to the legacies of Michelangelo, Galileo, and Machiavelli.
Guided by an expert art historian, you’ll experience Florence not as a museum, but as a living story—where every fresco, chapel, and façade reveals the soul of the city that shaped Western art.
Begin your tour at this Dominican masterpiece, famous for its striking marble façade and artistic treasures. Inside, explore Masaccio’s Holy Trinity, a revolutionary work in the history of perspective, and Ghirlandaio’s frescoes, vivid portrayals of Renaissance Florence.
Continue to the Basilica of San Lorenzo, the Medici family’s spiritual home. Designed by Brunelleschi and enriched by Michelangelo’s genius, this church stands as a monument to the Medici’s influence on the city’s artistic life.
End your journey at Santa Croce, the grand Franciscan basilica known as the “Temple of Italian Glories.” Pay tribute to the great minds of Italy—Michelangelo, Galileo, Machiavelli—and admire Giotto’s world-renowned frescoes that forever changed Western art.
