This vast green expanse is an oasis in the heart of Florence, representing a veritable open-air museum, populated by ancient and Renaissance statues, adorned with caves, above all that of Bernardo Buontalenti and large fountains, such as those of Neptune and Ocean. The successive dynasties of the Lorraine and the Savoys expanded its borders, which nowadays run along the ancient city walls up to Porta Romana.

1.00You should buy your tickets through the offices website BEFORE you leave the US. This service charges twice the fee, requires that you meet a person in front of the gallery before your tour. It feels very sketchy. If you don't buy your tickets when I the US, you won't be able to create the account necessary to buy the tickets. The alternative is to waist in the ticket line the day of your tour. You can't buy tickets for other days in person. When you buy tickets in person, all parties must be present to buy tickets. They won't sell you tickets for others.
Don’t Pass Up Palazzo Pitti and Boboli Gardens.

5.00Palazzo Pitti is amazing. It contains beautiful artwork and the ceilings are breathtaking. And Boboli Gardens Provide beautiful views of the city. There are many steps to climb in the palace, and surprisingly in the garden, too. But they are worth it.

1.00I’m unhappy with Viator. I paid $81.83 for the tour for 2 people that I thought included a tour guide and skip the line. My tour was set for 1130 am and no one showed up. The man who worked at the line of pitti palace helped me by calling the agent. If he didn’t call the agent I would not have known there was NO tour guide ….so how was I supposed to enter with NO tickets?? The agent finally emailed them at 1145 am after the call. So I paid extra money for no guide and no audio…. And no skip the line. I could have bought those tickets there for only $50. Why would I use Viator???
Over-rated and over-priced.

2.00Whilst we did not make the tour, we walked around the gardens. Uncertain under foot and not really suitable for anyone unstable or in a wheelchair. Some good views from the top but looked untended in many places ... signs for orchids with only weeds visible! Looked in parts as if gardeners had not tended areas for months apart from outside the palace. Not recommended at £22 each just for the gardens.

4.00There was no line upon entry. Not sure if there is another entrance for folks without a ‘skip-the-line’ ticket. We enjoyed going at our pace.
SCAM twice the price and unusable

5.00A beautiful garden, very lovely, but middle of the day in July was a little much. Certainly worth a look earlier in the day or later evening.
Booked the tickets through this operator - big mistake!!

1.00Little did we know that once we walked 20 minutes uphill in 30°C heat to reach the Boboli Gardens entrance, we couldn’t even redeem our tickets. We were told we had to go all the way back down to the Uffizi Gallery to meet a man who would hand us the actual tickets. That’s another 20-minute walk, over the bridge and through crowds, completely pointless and makes no sense. We paid over £40 for “skip the line” access, but when we got there on a Saturday morning in July, it wasn’t busy at all. There was no line. So essentially, we paid a hefty premium just to have someone hold our tickets at a totally unrelated location. In the end, we gave up and just bought new tickets at the entrance for €10 each. While the gardens themselves are beautiful, they are very hilly and there were no refreshment stands open - no water, no snacks, nothing. There was a sign on the map for an ice cream stand, but we never found it. We made the mistake of not bringing water, assuming (like most tourist attractions) there would be places to buy some. Big regret. If you go, bring a picnic, take water, and buy your ticket at the gate. Don’t make the same mistake we did. This operator is a waste of money and causes more hassle than help. Maybe I should have read the small print or maybe they should state before buying or in their title that you have to collect the tickets elsewhere, seems like a scam!
Quiet place in Florence
