Amazing Tour - Our tour of the Boboli & Bardini Gardens was just amazing. I have been to Italy many times over the years, and love to take tours as the information I absorb from a local company/guide is so much better than a guide book. Italian Vista has been my go to for any tour. The Boboli/Bardini Garden tour was just wonderful. Hearing the background of the gardens, and walking with our guide made it even more special. The local guides have such knowledge, and what I enjoy the most is the small facts or backstory behind each place I tour. I like the small bits of information they gave me regarding the design, Florentine Families, and the entire process of the how and why of the gardens. The entire process from booking to tour was seamless. They have such a personal touch and are truly interested in sharing their knowledge of Florence and beyond.

Great visit to the gardens - Our guide Daniela came on time to pick us up at the hotel. She is friendly, knowledgable and very helpful. She gave us a lot of information about all the buildings and bridges we saw on the way to the gardens. We loved our time with her. I would recommend having Daniela as a guide. She gave us all the main information on the history of the gardens. It's an amazing experience. The views from the gardens are breathtaking and amazing. Would recommend.

Thank you to Daniela our guide - We had a great time in both gardens. Our guide Daniela gave us a history of all the various buildings and bridges on the way to the gardens. She is very knowledgeable and kind. She made the visit well worth it with lots of recommendations in what to visit next. We really enjoyed our time with her!

Boboli and Bardini Gardens - Was a wonderful tour and the guide was excellent. We got to go into a new part of the garden that was opened just that day. Would highly recommend.

The Bardini Gardens are beautiful - Thoroughly enjoyed the Bardini Garden tour. I recommend visiting the Stefano Bardini museum near the entrance to the Bardini Garden. Having seen the museum enhanced the information shared by the tour guide about the garden. It was a warm day so we were a little worn out by the time we got to the Boboli Garden. So glad we saw the Bardini Garden first.

In the calm of the tumults of the city - Very nice quiet walk, the gardens are very beautiful. Each space is different, this change of scenery allows you not to get tired.

For sure worth to visit - We went on our own to the Bardini Garden. Beautiful garden, well maintained, to spend about 1 hour strolling up and down. Beautiful views from there over the city of Florence as well. Not the most famous, but for sure a pearl!

Gardens partially closed in February - We were disappointed because, although we knew that this was not an ideal time to visit the gardens, much of it was inaccessible due to renovations. I imagine they're preparing the garden for the next few periods.
