The frescos are amazing , the whole palace is opulent . Inenjoyed the frescos and the costume section, also the little details on the doors, the arches, the chandeliers where astonishing in volume. Every wall is adorned with renaissance art there's a lovely chapel. The sculptures are plentiful too .

The total experience of the gardens was amazing and the views were unbelievable. Only issue is that I booked skip the line tickets which when I arrived I needn't have bought due to there being no queues in either line. Extra cost which if your website had details of how popular it is this would have been avoided. Overall a stunning place to visit just a little feedback to improve the experience

We spent a very memorable day looking around the 33 hectares of formal gardens in the morning, a leisurely lunch in the Pitti Palace cafe, followed by an afternoon inside the palace itself - perfect in every way

Our guide was fabulous and i apologize for forgetting her name! About 55 with white hair and is very stylish. We moved at a very fast clip and she shared much history with us: from family structures, the growth of weath in families, the reason some stores are below ground level, the chapel that never got marble and is still simple brick, to the fish and meat processors once on the Vecchio Bridge. We finished up at the Piti Palace with the explanation of the original 7 windows. I didn't make it to the Boboli Garden that day as I had already climbed the Dome at 8:15. I am going to go tomorrow!

Access was possible without any problems or waiting time. The Uffizi is also worth a second trip! The most relaxing part, however, were the gardens... with a wonderful view of the city.

Anna at the check in desk where we claimed our ticket went above and beyond. Super helpful. The audio guides were very informative. The sites visited were, of course, impressive.
