Overview

Explore the legacy of the Medici family with a visit to Florence’s iconic Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens. This two-hour small group tour offers an immersive journey into the history, art, and nature.

Begin at Pitti Palace, a monumental Renaissance residence acquired by the Medici in 1549. Originally built for the Pitti family, this architectural masterpiece houses the outstanding Palatine Gallery, showcasing works by Raphael, Titian, and Caravaggio.

Next, stroll through the Boboli Gardens, a stunning example of Italian garden design.
