About this tour

A 3-Hour Santa Croce Church Private Tour Through the Pantheon of Florentine Genius

You’re standing in front of a church – but step inside and you’re actually walking through Italy‘s hall of fame. Michelangelo is buried here. So is Galileo. Machiavelli too, and Rossini. For three hours, your private guide walks you through the basilica and the quarter around it, connecting the dots between the people who shaped Florence and the ones who shaped the modern world entirely.

Meeting point: Piazza di Santa Croce, next to the Dante’s Monument Google map

Highlights

The tombs of Michelangelo, Galileo, Machiavelli and Rossini - Italy's pantheon of genius
Giotto's frescoes in the Bardi and Peruzzi Chapels - the foundation of Renaissance painting
The Pazzi Chapel - Brunelleschi's masterpiece of early Renaissance architecture
The Cimabue Crucifix - one of art history's most famous restoration stories, following the devastating 1966 flood
The Santa Croce quarter - leather workshops, artisan studios and the authentic, less-touristed side of Florence
