The Basilica of San Miniato is one of the favorite churches of the Florentines, perhaps also because of the beautiful view that can be enjoyed over the whole city. The church represents, together with the Baptistery of San Giovanni, a splendid example of Florentine Romanesque and is located on top of the so-called "Mons Florentinus" where the first communities Christians dug their catacombs.

Its large size also reflects the vastness of the population of the district, with which the Franciscans had immediately established a close and fruitful relationship.

Built in 1565 in just five months, this one-mile long airway kilometer, it served as a private passage between the government buildings in Palazzo Vecchio and the Court Medici in Palazzo Pitti.
15. Palazzo Pitti
Palazzo Pitti and Piazza Pitti in Piazza Pitti, dominated on its top by the grandiose. Palazzo Pitti, built in 1440 by Luca Pitti on a project by Filippo Brunelleschi.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Marco. As a family of 4, it was a super way to see the city. We loved the 3 tier waterfall and the nose rubbing on the famous boar!

Such a fun and informative tour around Florence with Mr Giacomo. He was very entertaining and told us great stories. We saw all the major sites of Florence and it gave us a good idea on areas that we wanted to explore more the the following days. Recommend jumping on a tour with Eco Florence tours when visiting this beautiful part of Italy!!

Our tour guide Matteo was fabulous! A native of Florence he knew all the ins and outs and history of everything we visited. We toured high into the hills of Plaza Michaelangelo and had breathtaking views of the city. Learned so much about the Medici family. He even picked us up right at our hotel and let us stop at. Wine window! This trip was the highlight of Florence for us!

Weaving in and out of the narrow streets with our excellent driver Norberto!
Good audio commentary and Norberto was very knowledgeable and informative.
I went early to find the starting point which was quite hard to find because of the temporary stadium in St Croce but he kindly collected my other family members from our apartment who were not so mobile and also finished the tour there too!

Claudio was amazing! The extra knowledge he added in his broken English was so interesting. The views took my breath away. So many parts of Florence you would probably miss when walking around. I would 100% recommend this tour!
