We loved our visit to Pitti Palace and the Palatine gallery. We did not do any type of guided tour, but chose rather to experience everything on our own and move at our own pace. The palace and the gallery were not overly crowded, giving us the time and the quiet we needed to experience all of the incredible art and architecture that surrounded us. The Boboli Gardens were stunning. It was raining during our visit, but that did not at all affect our appreciation of the environment. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone.

This excursion had lots of access tickets combined with it! We enjoyed getting to see the multiple meuseums in the Pitti palace (including the renissance and modern art and fashion museums). It was a wet day, but the boboli gardens (and the bardini gardens) were beautiful.

The palace and gardens are wonderful. It is a "must" place to visit in Florence. We got the tickets on line but when we arrived, there were no queues and probably, the on line purchase was not needed. We could have arrived earlier than our booked time slot, but whatever, it was a gereat day out.

Great experience. Wonderful museum and garden. You will need at least a couple of hours for the museum and 30min and great stamina for the gardens. Skip-the-line tickets are the way to go if you don't want to wait 30+ minutes in the line.

All very beautiful, I recommend visiting the gardens first and then the palace. Since I went in the hot season and after being in the gardens it feels good to be in the shade. All very nice

I found the whole palace and the gardens extraordinary!!!! A beauty. I recommend them without a doubt. The food service is terrible. There are 2 waiters for all the tables and it is impossible for them to serve everyone. I recommend taking more waiters and adding more plates of food.

It is very convenient to exchange electronic tickets at the box office; there is a separate line for this purpose. The diverse exhibition of Palazzo Pitti will not leave anyone indifferent!
Anna
Sep 2024Verified booking
One advertised part of the exhibition was not open, and apparently hadn't been for a couple of years according to staff (?!) With the already planned closures this meant we spent a little less time at the Palace than expected. It was also not worth a 'skip the line ticket' as there was no line to skip, and we still had to go to the ticket office as our voucher/online ticket wasn't the actual ticket, so there was still an extra step in the process.

The place is gorgeous, no doubt about it, but the Boboli Gardens is confusingly maintained, there are not enough signs indicating where the interesting things to see are, and the water in the fountains is a little too green; it could use a little more maintenance and more signs indicating how to find places of interest, otherwise top.

The collections were nice. I used the skip the line tuvkwt and didn't understood that should book also 0 EUR tivkets for kids, but got them though from the ticket office.
Diane

The place was awesome. What I would criticize is that I was paying a bit more than I would have, and even though I could "SKIP" the line to pay, I still had to walk somewhere to get on another line to get a paper ticket. So I still had a line to wait on and an extra walk to do. That's why I said GOOD and not AWESOME.

Wonderful place to visit! The tour was very well organized, both inside and out. 2 drawbacks: the apartments were closed for renovation and there was no free guide in French. You have to buy a guide to the château and gardens in French at the entrance. But it's worth it!

Amazing experience, a step back through time to the renaissance, the rooms and exhibits were wonderfully preserved, the castle is immense and we wandered through it and the beautiful grounds for hours exploring each area. It was very cool imagining following the footsteps of all the famous historical people of the past who would have walked the halls, including the Medici and Pitti, and none other than Napoleon.

We enjoyed gardens And number of paintings at palazzio Piti! Just take care tickets are out of service once you visited garden And palazzio you cannot enter furthermore in the garden.... it is a pity...

The works are extraordinary, a wide variety of paintings by both well-known and lesser-known painters that are nonetheless treasures. I love this museum, this being my fourth visit, but I can't help deploring the lighting, which often makes it very difficult to see the works properly. There's also the fact that the works are hung close to the ceiling, making them impossible to appreciate.

Fine, no problem picking up the tickets at the ticket office. Spent a lot longer there than the suggested two hours and still didn't see everything. Next time, we'll just go to the gardens as we were too footsore to do them credit.
The Vasari Corridor reopens after 8 years!
Walk the historic passageway once reserved for the Medici family, featuring ancient sculptures and inscriptions, as well as stunning views of Florence. Entry requires a special ticket—begin at Uffizi, cross Ponte Vecchio, and exit at the Boboli Gardens.

- Forget about planning woes over a leisurely 5 days and immerse yourself along the Arno River’s banks—from Renaissance opulence to green escapes.
- Uffizi Gallery is home to seminal masterpieces, like Primavera by Botticelli and Raphael’s numerous portraits of Madonna.
- Wander among sculptures, fountains and 100-year-old holm oak trees at Boboli Gardens, a manicured Medici paradise!
- Pitti Palace, right in front of the gardens, is a complex of museums, including the Palatine Gallery. Get lost amidst works like Sleeping Cupid by Caravaggio.

Exemplary was the responsiveness, adaptability and flexibility of the agency. Camilla, our guide, spoke English very well, slowly and with simple words. She had all the answers to the many questions that were asked and also, did not hesitate to give us additional information about the city. Excellent service.

The visit to the Uffizi is stupendous. You need at least a full day to get even a sampling. But you need your own guide or guidebook because the layout of the galleries makes it hard to pick up a coherent thread. Even with the timed tickets there is quite a crowd. The Pitti Palace also has a lot to see, and again you'll need to have a guide or a book, but it is not nearly as crowded despite having many major works. The pickup of the tickets was very efficient once we found the office - there are three shops with number 10 on the same block.

Our tickets were for a 5-day pass but we could only use the tickets once for each place. We should have been able to visit a venue such as the Boboli Gardens more than once with our tickets. This was very disappointing.

The Pitti palace was incredible- what a magnificent building and art, architecture and history. It was like stepping back in time ! The view over Florence from the Bobbi gardens was well worth the climb.

A visit to the Uffizi is always great nourishment for the mind and heart. There was not a long line at the entrance but having the ticket in advance and a defined entrance time helps to plan the day. The security check system at the entrance was streamlined and we enjoyed our visit. Perhaps a bit too many people but by booking the visit on the holiday we were prepared.

Was able to get tickets at last minute due to my short timing schedule for being in Florence. The line to enter the church was extremely long and we would not have had time to get inside if not for the skip the line tickets I purchased. In order to make our bus back to Livorno, we had to miss the Bell tower climb which I would have liked to do. If you have the time, these tickets were perfect.

The campanine ticket cost me more than twice the original price on the official website. After this experience I will not use headout anymore. I'm sorry, because it seems like a nice application, but if you then steal money from customers like that, it's not good. It is okay that you put a small markup, 1-3€, but double NO. a ticket of €20 pay it €42!!!!!!

The visit to the dome, the baptistery and the bell tower was great. But we could not enter the Cathedral because of the timetable, as no one told us that we could enter whenever we wanted, and because of an event, we could not enter the museum, which closed at 19h and that day it closed earlier. I think the tickets should have more information.

It was a unique experience, we went up to the Dome, visited the Cathedral, climbed the bell tower, visited the museum and went to the Baptistery. Our experience started at 9 o'clock and ended at almost 6 o'clock

The entire experience was amazing! With access to the Bell Tower, the museum and the cathedral, it's both a great value and a great experience. The view from the top of the tower was worth the price of admission!

We loved our visit to Pitti Palace and the Palatine gallery. We did not do any type of guided tour, but chose rather to experience everything on our own and move at our own pace. The palace and the gallery were not overly crowded, giving us the time and the quiet we needed to experience all of the incredible art and architecture that surrounded us. The Boboli Gardens were stunning. It was raining during our visit, but that did not at all affect our appreciation of the environment. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone.

I liked everything but the ticket was not for the bell tower and dome. With this ticket they said they could go to the kripta, museum and Baptistery. It was a good experience👍

Well arranged to be able to visit so and so. What was nice is that by booking for Santa Reparata, I was able to see the Duomo immediately, without a long queue (you have to go through that to see the cathedral for free). The Battisterio was also beautiful, less easy to see due to works. But that was known in advance. Together with the museum it was a wonderful combo ticket. Due to bad knee unfortunately could not climb the dome and bell-tower.
