5.00Enjoyed the tour very much. Didn’t know anything about the Pitti Palace. The gardens are underwhelming if you’ve been to beautiful gardens around the world but it’s a lovely green space for the city. You can easily do the palace tour and walk thru the gardens on your own.

5.00A beautiful place and so much history! It was a HOT day and walking the Boboli gardens was very rough. But that's mother nature! The palace was just beautiful and well worth the time. So much history and when explained it just makes so much sense! The powerful families involved and the portraits and just stunning.
Pitti Palace, we Highly Recommend this tour!

5.00It was a really good experience. There’s a lot more to know about this museum and the Boboli Gardens. I wish I had more time to explore the fashion museum and the first floor. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and really shared a lot about the history of the artwork and the artists both Renaissance and baroque. We learned a lot and took some beautiful photos.
