Lovely Tour of Pitti Palace - 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.

Private Tour of Pitti Palace - Our family had a private tour with Sylvie to see the Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens. Unfortunately it started pouring with rain so we missed the gardens but really enjoyed the palace. Sylvia was interesting and knowledgeable and not just reading a script. Would thoroughly recommend going here and having Sylvie as your guide.

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

Great tour! - 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!
