Meet your LivTours private guide outside the main entrance to the 15th-century Palazzo Pitti, and enjoy the skip-the-line entrance to this vast museum complex – the largest in Florence at over 32,000 square meters. Set on the southern bank of the River Arno, this vast and magnificent Renaissance palace is a grandiose architectural statement of epic proportions.

With your private guide, explore the magnificent Palazzo Pitti – the grand ducal residence of three ruling dynasties, and afterward enjoy free time in the beautiful formal grounds of the Boboli Gardens behind the palace.
The banker Luca Pitti built the Palazzo in 1446, a statement to dwarf the residences of his rivals. It later became home to three ruling families over the centuries: the House of Medici, the House of Habsburg-Lorraine, and even the House of Savoy – the kings of Italy! It is filled with artistic treasures by revered maestros such as Titian, Rubens, and Raphael, and as you explore the lavish gilded 17-century interiors, you’ll learn about the aristocratic lives of the Medici and other noble families who ruled the glittering, by-gone era of the Italian Renaissance. In particular, Anna Maria Luisa de Medici (1667-1743) was the Palazzo’s greatest patron of the arts.

The gardens have been open to the public since 1766, but in 1919 King Victor Emmanuel III donated the palace – and all its contents – to the Italian people. Today, the Palazzo Pitti is one of the most magnificent and extensive collections in the world.

Lastly, enter the truly majestic grounds of the Boboli Gardens. From the terrace your guide will tell you all about this horticultural masterpiece, filled with ancient and Renaissance statuary, formal landscaping, grottos, and follies: then leave you to wander around at your leisure. A perfect finale to a resplendent tour!

  • 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.

    - Amanda Wilson
  • 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.

    - Richard Coleman
  • 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.
