Fantastic tour with Pam!

Judith_S, May 2025

There is so much to see and to do it without a guided tour for the average person is overwhelming. Pam was a wonderful guide with so much knowledge. She explained in great detail what we were looking at. We had a personal tour and it was worth every penny!

Private Tour was Amazing

Viki_L, Apr 2025

Amazing and loved Marco! He told wonderful stories about the history of the Pitti Palace, the Medici Family and all the wonderful paintings.

Exceptional Private Tour

Melanie_H, Apr 2025

This is a late review, but want to give our wonderful tour guide, Leticia, her due. My daughters and I took this private tour mid-July 2024 on our last morning in Florence and it was worth every penny. Leticia was impressive with her vast knowledge of all the paintings, frescos and history at Pitti Palace. She was also very pleasant and friendly to talk to. It was sad to leave the beautiful city of Florence and this tour stood out on our two-week trip to Italy and Switzerland. We were asked if they could use some of our pics for the travel website and we obliged. Don’t hesitate to book the tour!

Lovely Tour of Pitti Palace

Nicole_C, Sep 2024

Great tour of Pitti Palace. Our tour guide, Ilaria, was fantastic! She was very knowledge and engaging, as well as friendly and professional. She shares a lot of fun tidbits about Florence that we had not heard yet on other tours and we really enjoyed the seeing the architecture and furniture in the palace along with more artwork. And getting entrance into the Boboli Gardens at the end of our tour to spend as much time at our leisure was a great plus. We definitely enjoyed walking around the gardens.

Great art history info!

Danielle_F, Jul 2024

Cristano was an excellent guide who gave us lots of details about Pitti palace, the art on display and history of the building. Super time!

Last stop but recommended.

Patrick_L, Jul 2024

Less common of tours and can be done without help but despite this we all found it quite nice. Great guide.

Pitti Palace with Boboli Garden

Barbara_O, Jul 2024

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant. Very informative. i would definitely recommend this tour.

probably should be a 4 considering the tour doesn't go to the gardens

Victoria_F, Jun 2024

This was a nice tour, however it doesn't give you access to the bedroom and living areas. A lot of art details and kept talking about the Medici family, but didn't see much of the Medici in paintings. The palace and gardens were beautiful, but it was a self tour as the guide doesn't continue into the games. She pointed out some interesting details we would've missed.

Very informative!

Monique_K, May 2024

Tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate regarding the artwork. It was wonderful hearing the stories behind the paintings 😊

Great tour!

Jonathan_B, May 2024

The Pitti palace is beautiful but can be overwhelming. Our guide did a wonderful job of distilling the tour into a wonderful and digestible experience. We really appreciated her showing us the corridor the Medici built and the history of the ponte vecchio. A must do in Florence!

Pitti Palace Provate Tour

Valorie_S, Apr 2024

Marta was a wonderful guide through the Pitti Palace. She was very knowledgeable and gave us insights to several other places to visit while in Florence. Well worth going.

Our guide was very...

claudiaghawkins, Mar 2024

Our guide was very knowledgeable and spoke English very well. A very nice young man. Our tour was an hour and a half long. Very enjoyable tour.

Quick but great tour of Pitti Palace

Mimi_C, Feb 2024

Our tour guide Cristiano was very informative and we loved our tour!! Also loved we had time on our own to explore the beautiful Boboli Gardens.

STRONGLY recommended ❤️🇮🇹

Joan_S, Apr 2023

Our guide Camila was fabulous and as a student of the arts pursuing her doctorate she was very knowledgeable and informative along with being enthusiastic and entertaining!! The palace was beautiful and the gardens were fabulous (even though we were to early for the wisteria blossoms) but nothing topped the fabulous views of Florence. Having a drink at the cafe overlooking the city was magical!

Excellent tour with Martina

Adrianna_S, Mar 2023

Martina was awesome - loved that she showed us the masterpieces of the Pitti Palace and was very knowledgeable about the artists. Great pacing for such a large place and it wasn’t overwhelming. Following the Vasari Corridor from their offices was pretty amazing!

Informative tour with a knowledgeable guide of the Pitti palace

Peter_B, Jan 2023

Excellent tour. Great guide. Took extra time to answer questions about the art and also the Medici family history.

Enjoy and Pitti and the gardens at leisure.

Joseph_T, Nov 2022

Very knowledgable guide, great stories about the museum and paintings. Not many people visit the museum and gardens so you can enjoy this experience at leisure.

Fascinating blend of art, history, culture and trivia!

Hayden_T, Sep 2022

Our guide, MariaChristina, was great. She had great knowledge of the history, art and culture but it was just right for first time visitors to Italy, not overwhelming. Amazing how much we covered in about 90 minutes and then we were free to explore Boboli and Bardini gardens on our own. Highly recommend.

Fun and Beautiful!!

Elaine_B, May 2022

Book a guide for this event! Alessandra was fantastic. She made sure we saw the most important works in this beautiful palace - we would have missed so many on our own. If you are a little bored with art Galleries, this is the perfect tour. You can see all the great masters of Italy is the setting of where the Medici lived. The Gardens (more like a park) give you a nice outdoor activity as well. And stop at the charming cafe for that delicious Italian coffee. Perfect!!

Absolutely spectacular!

Colleen_F, May 2022

Amazing tour! We absolutely loved it and the tour guide was very accommodating to our time restrictions. We were able to see the highlights and enjoy the beautiful gardens.

Pitti Palace

Matthew_S, Dec 2019

What a wonderful tour. Our guide, Leonardo was amazing. Unfortunately we were not able to go into the boboli gardens due to weather but tour company wasted no time in refunding that portion of the ticket. Highly recommend this tour.
