Skip the Line Palazzo Vecchio Secret Passages Guided Tour

Step back in time and uncover the hidden gems of Florence with our Skip the Line Palazzo Vecchio Secret Passages Guided Tour.

Experience the exciting discovery of the places and paths of Palazzo Vecchio that are not accessible to the general public and that have been made available recently, for very small groups only.

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 tour (approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes), you will continue this experience by enjoying a Tuscan lunch in a typical restaurant located in Florence old city centre OR a "Gelato Tasting" in one of the most famous Florentine ice-cream shop (Gelato option only available Apr to Oct).
