Florence SANTA CROCE Basilica Private Tour
Overview
Enjoy an insightful private tour of Santa Croce with a 5-star guide. Visiting the biggest Franciscan church in the world is an incredible experience but without a tour guide, you will deny yourself a unique opportunity to learn the secrets hidden within its walls.

- Step on Medieval graves and learn why they have sculls and crossbones engraved;
- Learn the mystery about Dante’s empty grave;
- Hear the story how Michelangelo’s body was stolen from Rome;
- Learn all the details of the intricate story of Galileo Galilei and discover the place where he was secretly buried for 100 years;
