Women of Florence Walking Tour | City Highlights and Medici Chapel Reviews

A Feminist Lens on Renaissance Florence

It was refreshing to hear about the contributions and challenges of historical women for once. Florence is usually all Michelangelo and Dante, but this tour shifts the spotlight in a meaningful way.

Florentine Women in Spotlight

From Eleonora de Toledo’s political savvy to the myth of Judith and Holofernes, every story added new dimension to familiar landmarks.

Great Mix of Myth and History

I loved how the tour combined mythology with real historical figures. I never knew that so many statues had hidden political meanings tied to women’s stories.

The Side of Florence No One Talks About

I’ve taken many city tours, but this was the first one that focused entirely on women’s stories. From duchesses to goddesses, it was a refreshing and thought-provoking journey.

Loved Every Minute

This was one of the highlights of my Italy trip. I especially enjoyed the visit to the Medici Chapel—Giulia made Michelangelo’s statues come alive with her vivid descriptions.

Unexpectedly Powerful Experience

I went in expecting a light cultural walk, but this tour stirred something deeper. It’s rare to hear women’s voices echoing through history, and Chiara made them resonate.

Ideal for First-Timers

I’d never been to Florence before, and this tour gave me a great introduction while also going beyond the basics. Learned a lot and didn’t feel rushed.

Luca Was Outstanding

Our guide Luca made history feel like a live drama. He had a gift for storytelling and made us see Florence with fresh eyes.

Teens Loved the Myths

My two teenagers actually paid attention during this tour—that’s how good it was. The guide tied ancient myths into real historical events and locations, which really kept them engaged.

Ideal for Couples Looking for Depth

My partner and I loved the intellectual focus of this tour. It was romantic in its own way—walking through Florence while learning about queens, mistresses, and muses.
