Additional Information

Behind Palazzo Pitti lies the Boboli Garden. A priority entrance ticket ensures swift entry, bypassing long queues to access this garden that is a core part of the palace. It was initiated in 1549 by Tribolo for Duchess Eleonora di Toledo, wife of Cosimo I de ‘Medici, and served to beautify the regal palace it accompanies, contributing to the court life atmosphere. This monument was a model for numerous other European courts. This sprawling green sanctuary, located at Florence’s core, is essentially an outdoor museum. It contains a collection of ancient and Renaissance statues, embellished with grottos, highlighting that of Bernardo Buontalenti, and grand fountains like Neptune and Ocean. Its boundaries have extended over time with dynasties of Lorraine and Savoys, now stretching along the old city walls to Porta Romana. An option to buy a separate ticket for Pitti Palace is available alongside this ticket type.

Excellent guide and agency - We visited the offices, the gallery, the cathedral complex with a climb to the dome, Pitti and Boboli through this agency. Through the City agency and Mr. Marco we booked private visits just for our family. I must say that our guide, Ivano, was excellent: he is an exceptional historian and I will not be able to forget the different interpretations of Botticelli's Primavera... It was all truly fantastic.

Boboli Garden a wonderful site to see - Easy process to book thru Viator. Also made it easy to change time when we ran late. The walk thru Boboli Garden was very nice, there is some wonderful statues in the garden and the view of Firenze was breathtaking. The garden has many hills and one should be cautious with the walk.

Voucher did not load - The voucher wouldn’t load after several tries. I did not want to bother calling for help because we didn’t want to spend time on the phone so we gave up and moved onto another activity. We were traveling with a toddler so patience was a luxury and if you have patience, might be worth using this skip the line service.

Bad overall - Ticket redemption spot is more than 15 min walk from gardens. We had someone with us that could not go. Tried to call and could not get anyone to pick up. Requested refund and would not provide
