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.

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

At first not clear who had the tickets so lined up at ticket office, but tour leader was really entertaining and informative. I think it's so important to have a guide in these places as you get so much more out of the experience.

The guide knew so much history - not only about the Pitti palace but also the historical context of the art, the palace, and the political intrigues of the various time periods. We learned so much during the tour!

We had the best tour guide I have ever experienced, Camilla. She brought the artwork, the Medici's and the palace alive for us. I w ill never forget this tour. Her knowledge as an art restorer was reflected in her ability to explain much about what we were seeing. Compared to our experience at the Uffizi, with another company, your tour was much better. In addition the fact it was less crowded was a huge benefit.

Lorenzo had great knowledge of the area and was extremely personable while also being professional. We appreciated explanations of the local plant life and history of the area. We had good recommendations for places to visit and future tours. The hiking tour in the hills were better than expected. Nice views of the valley and countryside and woodlands.

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.

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.

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.
