What makes this tour special

On this Live Virtual Tour, we will take you to Florence, famous for its Renaissance history and splendour, which hides a widely unknown dark past.

On this Private "Dark Florence Live Virtual Tour", you will:

hear tales of forbidden love affairs, terrible murders, and restless ghosts.
Pass by historical private palaces and treacherous stories of well-known spots, like Ponte Vecchio
See the Duomo and learn about its rich history
Learn about the last member of the Medici family and the scandals around the family's lengthy lineage

Also known as Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, the Duomo was started in 1296 to a design of Arnolfo di Cambio and which was completed by 1436, with the dome engineered by Filippo Brunelleschi. This monumental church served as the scenario for a ruthless conspiracy against the most powerful family in town: the Medicis.

Following the steps of condemned prisoners, you will then arrive at Piazza Signoria, where you will discover how
sometimes even Palazzo Vecchio, the main seat of the government, served as gallows.

At the riverside, with the iconic Ponte Vecchio in the background, your tour will end with a bang: the
scandalous life of Giangastone, the last member of the Medici family. As you stroll through Florence, your guide will cover the city's hidden paths and murky past starting from Piazza Santissima Annunziata, where the saddest love story of Florence took place, ending at the famous Ponte Vecchio.
