The Pitti Palace is very impressive and the art collection is amazing. Numerous paintings by Raphael, Titian and Rubens… incredible. And the history, including ties with Napoleon and multiple Popes make the whole experience quite interesting. More ornate than the Vecchio Palace. And our guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the subject matter of the entire tour.

We really enjoyed the tour, the guide was informative and provided some very interesting information about the paintings she pointed out to us.

Great tour. The guide was very informative and the art work was magnificent. Highly recommend it. Regrettably we didn’t leave enough time to see the gardens, make time they looked beautiful.

Lara is by far the best guide we have ever had! We travel a lot and we have never met a more knowledgeable, articulate and passionate about art guide. Next time we come back to Florence, we will try finding Lara for our next cultural experience.

Very, Very disappointed! My wife and I could not hear the guide’s commentary and discussion as we were taken through the tour. There were no headsets provided. Even though there were only 4 on the tour, the place was very crowded, the guide spoke at regular volume, and you couldn’t stand close enough to really hear her. I requested a 75% refund as a result, and the company refused. Shame on them! I would urge prospective customers to beware — you may not get what you paid for and the company doesn’t stand behind their product.

Our guide gave a great tour and we were very pleased. My only negative comment was that the person who checked our voucher and got our tickets was late, so we were uncertwhere we were supposed to be. I asked a very nice museum official told use where they usually would be and that was a big help. One suggestion would be to add to clarify the instructions on exactly where to go and what/who to look for (the company flag), as one couple waited by the road where the map pin was located as opposed to the entrance. A little clarity to the directions would be helpful.

Elena is a treasure of Firenze historical figures and facts. Told of Pitti Palace Royal reigns, art and architecture in vivid detail. Came to life. Mind boggling the amount of paintings, sculpture and furnishings contained within all the galleries.

A great place to see with an incredible wealth of art. Meeting directions were clear, Pitti palace is easy to find, crowd was minimal, and the Palatine was just as impressive as the Uffizi. We ended up being the only couple on the tour, so we had a private guide who was friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended for art lovers.

They cancelled our tour 15 minutes before our tour was meant to start. We were already walking to the meeting point when they called to inform us they could not accommodate only our group.
They offered to put us in a 3PM tour (instead of our original 10AM tour) , but this was impossible because we had other plans booked already.
They offered no compensation neither did they offer to help us in any other way. When we asked for assistance or at least the tickets, their representative began to panic and scream at me saying this would be charged to him, as he was just an intern. They insisted on refunding right away so we could not give a bad review on GetYourGuide where we initially booked.
DO NOT BOOK. THEY ARE INCREDIBLY RUDE AND UNPROSSIONAL.
