Medici Chapels is Bucket List Worthy. - I did a solo tour with Irina and it was my favourite. She was so generous with her time and knowledge. Her passion for the Medici's and her city shone through. I was captivated and felt like I was touring with a friend. Unlike a lot of tours, the ending is often quite pushy with the guide wanting a good review. Irina did not do this and I really appreciated it. This is a bucket list tour, without a doubt the best experience in Florence.

Medici Chapel with Irina - Irina is a scholar. Her subject matter expertise so warmly conveyed, and easy to follow, covers the late 14th century (Giovanni) and his patronage of Baldassare Cossa who becomes Pope John XXIII thru Cosimo I, II, III, Lorenzo, Guiliano, the wives, mistresses and culminating with Anna Maria Ludovica de Medici (middle of the 18th). Her presentation was extremely well organized and supplemented by photos off her iPad - exceptional. The tour was like an easy to digest graduate-level course of the times, architectural and artistic significance of the chapels, including the source countries and regions of all the marble adorning the chapel. We learned so much and moreover my wife and I were able to discuss it later at dinner in great detail. Highly recommend. An enduring memory, A+

Great tour of the Medici Chapels - Irina was lovely and the tour was fantastic. I had been there before over 10 years ago but this time I actually learned so much more about the Medici family and the artwork in the Chapels. I was very impressed with our tour and would recommend it to anyone that is interested in Michaelangelo or the Medici family.

Guided tour not necessary - Tour guide changed the time of our tour close to the date that was not manageable. This venue is a must-see, but not crowded and can be done without a guide. Tockets on the official website are 12 € per person
