Life in Florence in the Middle Ages was dirty and dangerous. It was also brimming with entrepreneurs and unimagined luxuries. This family-focused tour turns Florence into a medieval treasure map, as we plunge into the city’s ancient heart, uncovering vestiges of tower-houses and shops, and learning that walls know how to speak, modern streets bear time-worn scars, and churches could even be barns!

Our exploration takes us into the city’s first real private palace, dating back to the mid-1300s and a showcase of innovation and luxury, where we see original furniture, richly decorated walls, the first shoes with heels, and recount the high-octane drama of the Châtelaine de Vergy, pop fiction of the Middle Ages.

The tour includes:

– Guided visit;

– Entry tickets;

– Educational material.
