Our tour guide Martha, was very passionette and friendly. The history/background she provided was very informative. I don't think you get as much out of a tour doing it on your own.

A visit to Palazzo Vecchio is a trip back in time to three eras. Expect to find Roman ruins, a huge Medieval fortress, and amazing Renaissance chambers and paintings. For over 100 years, it was the second house of the Medici family. Today, it is still the political symbol of the city's mayoral office.
Step into history
Your tour guide will greet you at the meeting point, right near the museum. You will start your experience by catching a replica of Michelangelo’s David as you enter the world of Renaissance architecture. Elaborate Roman-inspired courtyards boast Florence's remarkable history, and sculptures celebrate important rulers and war heroes.
Discover cultural artifacts
With the help of your expert English-speaking guide, gain an in-depth understanding of Italian culture as you witness highly detailed and carefully preserved art through the centuries. The Palazzo Vecchio might look like a fortress on the outside, but it is beautifully decorated on the inside with extraordinary paintings on its ceiling and sculptures spread across its wide halls. Enjoy priority access with skip-the-line tickets to the delightful chapels and grand apartments, where you can catch sight of art created by the likes of Michelangelo, Donatello, Verrocchio, and more.
