Experience the emotional discovery of hidden locations of Palazzo Vecchio museum, not accessible to the general public, recently opened only for small groups of visitors.
You will ascend the narrow passages of the Duke Gualtieri’s medieval stairway and you will discover an unexpected path beyond a door hidden by a painting, admire the precious and imposing coffered ceiling of the Salone dei Cinquecento and explore the Medicean Palace from a different and intriguing prospect.
At the end of the guided visit you will continue this experience by enjoying a Florentine lunch in a typical restaurant located in the heart of Florence or tasting a delicious "Gelato"

5 Our guide was extremely knowledgeable. We were able to see parts of the building that very few people get to see. She was able to articulate the different people who occupied the building. She took us up above the ceiling and we could see all the timbers that were used to hold up the ceiling and all the paintings.

Very cool experience, entering thru a small secret door that has to be opened from the inside, to a world of art, private rooms and passage ways all the way to the roof/ceiling space. Extremely knowledgable guide.

I loved the secret passage way tour, very informative and the guide was extremely knowledgeable. My complaint…where was the free lunch or Gelato???? There wasn’t any!!! But the title clearly states there is

The tour was great, but paid for a lunch, never received it , way over priced, could get into the tour for 17 euros, paid 150 and didn’t even get the lunch,

Nothing to say about the visit to the secret passages which was fascinating with a very good guide. But the description does not mention that you have to follow the secret passages then the palace then the meal. As the Guide tour lasted until after 1 p.m. we went for lunch and had a lot of difficulty returning to see the palace because our ticket was no longer valid. I advise you to take this tour separately and choose your restaurant. it's way too expensive for something you can do better on your own

There was no record of our booking at Palazzo Vecchio despite clear confirmation
It caused stress
We were lucky that the lady at Palzzo. vecchio took pity on us and put us with another group

Go see the Palazzo Vecchio and take the secret passages tour! It's incredible! But get your tickets directly from the museum. Much cheaper and our guide was actually museum staff. Never saw anyone from CAF Tour and Travel. No lunch. No gelato. Big, fat expensive scam!

The tour itself was great. The process of finding tickets and where to go was confusing at best. The gelato/lunch never happened nor did they mention it.
