Among its treasures, Raphael’s Madonna della Seggiola stands out—a tender portrayal of the Madonna and Child that epitomizes Renaissance artistry.

    This was an informative tour. Aurora was very knowledgeable about art and history. She was also very personable. Please note that the Bobili Gardens requires a walk up quite a steep incline

    The palace was spectacular and gardens were beautiful. Our tour guide Vincenzo was very knowledgeable and spoke well about the palace and the gardens and surrounding areas. He gave us local insight and provided an excellent service. I wish we could have gone back in the palace to continue walking around but none the less this tour was the highlight of our trip to Florence.

    We had an amazing tour! Our guide, Aurora, spoke excellent English and was fantastic at explaining the history of the Medici family, the significance of the museum’s art collection, and the layout and design of the gardens. We got to see incredible original works by Raphael, Caravaggio, and Rubens, which was a true highlight. The views of Florence from the gardens were absolutely breathtaking. We also really enjoyed learning more about the city and the powerful Medici family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

    Our tour guide Deborah was extremely personable and attentive. She had a wealth of knowledge and command of all the Pitti Palace history. She was able to convey background information on the key artefacts and enrich our experience of this astonishing building. There was only two people in our group so we got personalised attention.
