Expect Medici art, grand rooms, Renaissance garden views, timed admission, and a group capped at 14 people. Guides such as Camilla, Ida, and Federica have led past tours.
“We really enjoyed this tour on 1st October 2025 . Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and brought the art work and history of Pitti palace to life . We could easily imagine life in the different rooms throughout its history . She clearly explained the techniques used by the great masters to achieve excellence in the frescoes and priceless art work. The tour of the gardens continued this high standard and it was easy to imagine how it was used long ago. It did not seem like 3 hours long at all .”
Spend 110 minutes touring Florence’s Palatina Gallery inside Pitti Palace. An English-speaking guide such as Camilla or Maurizio explains Caravaggio, Rubens, Raphael, Medici power, and the palace interiors. Your ticket also covers Pitti’s other museums, including the Boboli Gardens.
“Outstanding! Maurizio is smooth and polished, and brings a scholar's level of attention to detail that, as researchers ourselves, we appreciated! As a guide, his presentation is as enlightening and edifying as it is accessible. He handles questions exceedingly well, with thorough and complete explanations. And just as important, he's funny! Oh, and though the tour doesn't formally include the Gardens, your ticket does, and it's worth your time to stroll through. You'll be aptly rewarded with a stunning view of the whole of Florence from the top of a hill, probably the best view possible of the whole city. If your phone is low on battery power, make sure…”
Explore Palazzo Vecchio in Florence with a licensed English-speaking guide, a prebooked entrance ticket, and a group capped at 15 people. Expect Medici stories, art and political history in about 90 minutes. Guides such as Ivan, Anna, Elizabeth, and Silvia have earned especially warm praise.
“My english guide was wonderful! I sadly don't remember her name to mention it here. The visit itself was fascinating, it's a must! The tower however, not so interesting if you've already gone to the top of the Duomo.”
Spend about two hours inside Florence’s Pitti Palace with a licensed English-speaking guide. See Raphael, Rubens, Caravaggio, Titian, and more in the Palatine Gallery, hear how the Medici shaped the palace, and enjoy timed entry in a group capped at 14.
“Our tour guide was amazing. So informative and very sweet. One of the best tours we had. Do this tour will not regret it. Thanks”

“The tour & our guide were good . We did the Uffizi Museum in the morning on the same day ! Do not make this mistake just do the Pitti Palace & Bobli Gardens. Give yourself plenty of extra time to explore on your own as there’s lots to see !”
Join a live guide for a 1.5-hour tour of Florence’s Palatine Gallery and Pitti Palace. See works by Botticelli, Titian, and Rubens, Pietro da Cortona’s frescoed rooms, and the royal apartments. Add a one-hour Tuscan wine tasting with local snacks.
“We weren’t provided audio communication devices to be able to hear the tour guide. The Museum Gallery has very specific rules regarding Voice volume. Therefore, it was very difficult to hear the tour guide and their description because as you’re walking, you can’t hear it in an earbud.”
Collect your pass near the Accademia Gallery, then visit the Accademia in the morning and Uffizi in the afternoon with reserved entry. Use the next four days for Pitti Palace, Boboli Gardens, and included audio guides in six languages.
“The free and easy trip works for us as it was a multi days pass.”
Enter Florence’s Pitti Palace at a reserved time, explore Medici apartments and four museum collections, then walk through Boboli Gardens, with fountains, grottoes, statues, and city views. A digital audio guide is included, but there is no live guide.
“Skip the line is a scam - no need for it - just get the tickets at the office. Pitti Palace was interesting with great ceiling art. Boboli Gardens had good views of the city but the gardens were a bit boring - just a lot of walking for not much payoff.”
A named palace, a kind of ticket, or a whole country of them.
