Discover the masterpieces of Beato Angelico on this exclusive private tour of the San Marco Museum and Church, one of Florence's most fascinating hidden gems.

Admire Fra Angelico's extraordinary frescoes in the monks' cells, visit the peaceful cloister, and uncover the dramatic story of Savonarola, the controversial preacher who challenged the Medici and changed the course of Florentine history.
The experience also includes the refectory with Ghirlandaio's Last Supper and the historic Medici Library, one of the earliest public libraries in Europe.
