Private Palazzo Pitti Tour with Boboli Gardens Access Reviews

An Absolute Must Do

Another fantastic tours with LivTours! After experiencing our first ever LivTours tour in Venice, we experienced our second and third tours with them here in Florence. We were definitely not disappointed! In addition to our walking tour of the city and our visit to the Duomo and then Michelangelo's David in the Accademia, we experienced Palazzo Pitti, and we almost didn't! On a recommendation, we booked this tour last minute, and did we luck out! Daniela was superb during our visit to the Pitti Palace. She is so smart and has answers to even the most obscure questions. She is also incredibly resourceful, getting us access to places we otherwise would not have been able to go. What a pleasure Daniela is! Without a superb LivTours guide like her, so much would have been missed and so much would have remained unknown to us. We can't wait to get to Rome for our next set of LivTours! We are so happy to have discovered you!!

Informative & engaging tour!

Sylvia made our tour of Pitti Palace interesting and engaging. She has an extensive depth of knowledge regarding the art and readily answered our questions. She also gave us helpful suggestions for other aspects of our trip!

The Best Tour of Our Trip

We did several tours in Italy, but this was my favorite. The palace was overwhelming in its size and decoration, and our guide kept us focused on the highlights. The Boboli Gardens gave us time to relax and reflect after taking in so much history.

Art and Gardens Combined Beautifully

Seeing Raphael’s paintings in the setting they were meant to be enjoyed was unforgettable. The guide connected the art to the larger story of Florence’s rise during the Renaissance. After so much grandeur, the gardens gave us a peaceful place to simply enjoy the beauty of nature.

Family-Friendly and Fascinating

We traveled with our 12-year-old, and our guide kept her entertained by pointing out quirky details in the paintings. The palace itself is a work of art, but it was the gardens that she loved best—plenty of space to wander without crowds. I’m glad we chose this private option.

Perfect for Art Lovers

I studied art history, so seeing Raphael and Titian in such an ornate setting was a dream come true. The guide was very knowledgeable and open to deeper discussions about the pieces. Boboli Gardens felt like an extension of the palace’s grandeur.

The Best Way to See Palazzo Pitti

Having a private guide from LivTours made such a difference. We bypassed the lines and had personalized explanations in every gallery. The Boboli Gardens were a highlight for me—quiet, majestic, and filled with history of their own.

A Peaceful Afternoon in Florence

This tour offered just the right mix of learning and relaxation. The palace was awe-inspiring, but the gardens afterward were my favorite—shady, full of character, and a place to unwind after a busy day in the city.

A Private Window into the Past

The Palazzo Pitti is massive, and I can’t imagine exploring it without a guide. The stories of Medici rivalries gave the palace a human side. Having time afterward in the Boboli Gardens, with fountains and grottos all to ourselves, felt truly luxurious.

Inspiring and Beautiful

As an artist, I was overwhelmed by the colors, textures, and craftsmanship inside the palace. Our guide pointed out details I never would have noticed. Sitting on a bench in the gardens afterward, sketching the statues, was a personal highlight of my trip.
