Guide was knowledgeable and also funny! Great tour
Our tour was amazing. The guide was engaging and helpful. She walked us though the Medici Chapel sharing the stories of the family and the Florence. It was a highlight to see Michelangelo's beautiful work on the tombs. The final chapel was awe inspiring. What a treat to go on a tour that was not overcrowded. This really is a hidden gem as many tourists do not know about it, and our guide really brought everything to life. Thank you for a great tour!
very knowledgeable guide with on depth storytelling.
An impressive place that doesn't take too long to see. The highlight is definitely the main chapel - the paintings, marble, and intricate details showcase amazing craftsmanship. It wasn't too crowded, and we were lucky to get in for free since it was the first weekend of the month.
A great place to visit. Make sure to arrive right after opening so you can enjoy Michelangelo's sculptures in peace and without crowds.
perfect guide, very nice and full of informations, loved it.
The building basically has the cript and the main chappel. The cript is interesting but not very pretty, if you know some history you might enjoy it. There are a few relics in this level as well. The chappel is quite impressive, comoleatly decorated by finely cut marbles and precious stones. It is filled with multicolor and intricately assembled decorations. It is probably one of the most impressive indoor spaces in all of Florence.
Very informative and enjoyable, we would never have gotten so much out of it if we had not had a guide.
Not much here. Crypt was closed. Big chapel with lots of artwork and detail. As you can tell I was getting art-worked out by Florence at this point. But unfair on the chapel as it is a nice place. If you have the Firenze card or live in Florence then definitely visit. If not then you will need to determine if your budget and time needs allow for time here. I did like it so have just upped it to 4 stars, but it all starts to get a bit samesy after a while unless you are a renaissance nut.
The Cappelle Medicee is a stunning and historically rich site in Florence, with incredible architecture and beautiful sculptures—definitely worth a visit. The only small downside was that I was asked to cover my legs with a cloth due to wearing shorts in order to enter the church , while my boyfriend, also in shorts, was allowed in without issue. It’s frustrating when rules such as dress codes are enforced unevenly. It can take away from the experience and leave a bad taste, even in such a beautiful and culturally rich place.
