Fabulous!

Gene_G, Apr 2024

All of it, the Pitti Palace and Palantine Gallery were extraordinary. And then it’s topped off with the wonderful Boboli Gardens with all the amazing views of Florence. Best of all was our guide Camilla, she was so knowledgeable and shared so many insightful details of all we were seeing, thank you Camilla!

AMAZING

Susan_N, Apr 2024

Camilla was amazing. So knowledgeable and she was so happy. She made the tour. We took our time and she made sure to explain everything in detail. This is a must do! Worth it.

History through Art

Rachel_R, Apr 2024

Fantastic tour! Our guide was incredibly educated in the arts and the history of the families of Florence who impacted the arts.

VISITING THE PITTI PALACE IN FLORENCE

Doreen_M, Apr 2024

As usual with Viator we had an excellent Tour Guide who was very knowledgeable. What more can I say? Having tried other tour companies I can't recommend Viator highly enough. I have successfully used them before and was once again impressed by their efficiency.

Excellent Tour Guide.

Jenny_Z, Apr 2024

She was an Amazing tour guide. She has passion and knowledge for both Pitti Palace and Boboli Garden.

Beautiful art, palace, and garden

Tim_R, Apr 2024

Our guide was really good and the tour of the gallery and the gardens and the palace and apartments was really interesting. She gave us some great recommendations on things to do after.

Camille is a star

Greg_A, Apr 2024

Camille is an outstanding guide. Her knowledge of the palace and the wonderful art is exceptional. She made the afternoon a highlight for us.

Morning of Priceless Memories

Rene_A, Apr 2024

One of the most fascinating and enjoyable experiences of our entire trip! Do plan to take in the entire Pitti Palace AND the Boboli Garden. They are inextricably linked - which one learns from the guide. As for our amazing and inspiring guide, her level of expertise and passion is unparalleled- she is a highly trained restorationist, chosen by the state for some of its most prestigious work conserving and restoring Italy’s priceless antiquities, specializing in frescoes. Camille was an absolute delight and infinitely endless font of information.

Awsome and Wonderful Tour

James_R, Apr 2024

The Palace and Gardens are very beautiful and it was very educational and enjoyable. Our guide was very knowledgeable and it was easy to understand what she was saying. Seeing the paintings in the various room was overwhelming and we wish we had more time to spend in the Palace.

Excellent tour

Thomas_M, Apr 2024

Our guide, Marsha, was fantastic. Highly recommend this tour!! Her explanation of the various pieces helped understand the art and its meaning

Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens tour

Must see while in Florence

David_C, Mar 2024

Our guide Camilla was excellent and beyond expectations. She was knowledgeable and personable. The Pitti Palace was fantastic and you need more time to observe all the treasures present

Renaissance masterpieces

Richard_W, Jan 2024

This was a very intimate tour of the Pitti Palace, Palentina Gallery, and the Boboli Garden. There was one other solo traveler and the guide. Because I visited in the low season there were no crowds which made the visit much more enjoyable. Plenty of time to take in the magnificent artwork. The guide was an art restorer and brought new insights into the works. The gardens were not as impressive as I thought they might be. Part of the issue is the colder season and few flowering plants.

Excellent experience!

Timothy_W, Oct 2023

Camilla was a fantastic guide. She delivered so many interesting historical insights and provided real context for the art and the history. The Pitti Palace is full of gorgeous art works and the views from the Boboli Garden are amazing!

Excellent

Felix_K, Oct 2023

Roberta, the guide made the tour experience extra special inside the Piti Palace and out in Boboli gardens. I strongly recommended this tour guide. She loves her job and very knowledgeable about the palace and gardens!

Fantastic

Comments about the Guide.

Jim_D, Oct 2023

The guide was (without a doubt) enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and energetic. The problem was she spoke very fast and she was difficult to understand. I suggest that she slow down her delivery. She was very pleasant and willing to accommodate. She also walked fast and I had to hustle to keep-up with her.

Uffizi Alternative

MariahM, Oct 2023

While the guide was engaging and clearly passionate about the care and maintenance of the Pitti Palace and the Boboli, she was not great with time management. She was late to the start of the tour putting us behind from the beginning. She was never able to recover and so another girl and myself had to leave a little early to make another reservation. This seemed like a great alternative to the Uffizi Gallery if you want to see art without the crushing crowds. The Boboli Gardens were lovely. One area had the most amazing smells.
