Description
A Medici Chapels guided tour is a short way into the story of the family that ruled Florence. In one hour, a local guide takes you through this museum complex with a skip-the-line ticket, so the time goes on the art and not on the queue.
The first highlight is the Chapel of the Princes, a majestic space adorned with polychrome marble. The second is the New Sacristy, where Michelangelo's famous sculptures show his genius and your guide helps you read them.
Along the way you hear about family secrets and hidden symbolism, a more personal side of the dynasty than most history books give.
