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 .
Uffizi too crowded but Palazzo Pitti is gorgeous.
Artworks were overwhelming Rooms were opulent Spent several hours roaming The gardens were fresh and blooming
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.
The gardens and palace were absolutely beautiful. We loved the peacefulness of the gardens — a perfect place to stroll and take in the atmosphere. The art throughout the palace was magnificent, with the ceilings being a highlight. Every staff member we spoke to was incredibly informative and eager to share the history and stories behind the place. We absolutely loved our visit!
Easy to book tickets on line, taxi from Florence main station was only 13 euros as I did not want to walk as I am 70. Same return re taxi. Easy exchange of on line tickets to actual tickets at pitti palace, breathtaking rooms in PP. A bit hot in gardens and could be better sign posted. Overall would highly recommend booking this way.
The venue is really interesting, both the building and the art. The audio guide only covers some of the first floor, and nothing of the second floor (the "modern" art) Some of the pieces described in the audio guide may not have been there -- I never found them. It took me awhile to figure out how the guide worked so I ended up backtracking to be able to look at a piece as it was being described. (In separate recordings, there is a room description, then there may be a separate description of one or more pieces before you go to the next room. Or you can swipe and advance to a new room. Some of the room names on the side were not what was in the museum which also confused me.)
Buying tickets through Headout was very easy and convenient. We did the joint palace and gardens ticket and it was amazing!
We were blown away by the beauty of the palace and the incredible art collection. The audio guide made our visit so interesting, with short descriptions of each room and it's place in history, I can't recommend it enough. The Boboli Gardens are beautiful, easy to walk through, and give you a great view over Florence.
It was easy to purchase skip the line tickets through Headout and to exchange them for paper tickets at Pitti Palace. We were surprised once we got inside to find out we needed timed tickets to visit the royal flats and that we needed to return to the ticket office outside the palace. Not the fault of Headout. Just frustrating.
It was easy with ticketing. And it was not overcrowded. The collection is awesome. What was impressed me both times when I visited the Gallery, was astounding quality and quantity of Bernini! And so on (Rafael...)
The lady at Slow Tours ticket office was super helpful. Both Uffizzi and Pitti palace were superb. We enjoyed the Boboli Gardens too but did not have enough time to complete them.
The instructions were clear and easy to pick up the tickets and we were able to get about the place without any hold ups or delays.
Camilla was FABULOUS! So much lnowledge and passion for the subject. Very informative - learned a lot and think this is one of the best tours I have been on.
When I picked up my ticket, I was not warned at any point that it was not valid for the visit to the royal apartments. To see this, we had to return to the ticket office to pick up a ticket specifically for it (despite it being free access). Very poorly specified.

No issues at ticket office redeeming our voucher and transaction was easy. The pitti place and Gardens are both amazing and well worth the visit
It was very easy to enter the museum with the pass. Same for the Palazzo Pitti. The Uffizi was amazing from beginning to end. Boboli Gardens were a nice, peaceful getaway from the crowds.
Smooth e perience and easy purchasing process. The only drawback is a requirement to exchange booking reference for tickets at the ticket office.
Our favourite visit in Florence. Great to skip the queues & spend more time discovering this beautiful palace & its gardens.
The museum visit was great. However, we had thought that the QR code was the actual ticket. So we had to go somewhere else from the entrance to the Uffizi to pick up the paper ticket. I actually wanted to avoid this, so I bought the tickets online beforehand. The office was difficult to find despite Google Maps. The Boboli Gardens are very run-down, overgrown and unkempt and not at all worth the entrance fee. A complete disappointment.

We had a great experience. The Pa;ace was fascinating. Unfortunately we got causgt in a downpour while in the Boboli Gardens. Not the tours problem. Dodn't relize that we needed our iphone earbuds. Not clear in the instructions. No audio guide as a result.
The organization, friendliness and kindness of all the staff and the magnificence of the exhibits, statues and buildings. Truly moving experience.

There are no skip the line tickets. You have to go to the office to get your physical tickets anyway and then you have to wait in line.
Stunning. Started early and less busy.

The Pitti Palace art collection the Fashion in History gallery and the magnificent palace itself were amazing. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and made the whole tour wonderful.
Amazing tour witha wonderful guide. Not overwhelming - purely inteesting and key pieces of art were explained.
Camilla, our guide was engaging, energetic and had boundless knowledge of the Palace and gardens. She tailored her presentation to the specific group of tourists. We had a wonderful experience with her and learned a great deal.
Our guide Camilla brought the history to life and we enjoyed every minute of it.
The experience, knowledge and kindness of our guide. Also the punctuality and the knowledge to lead the group.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. The entire process was easy, seamless.
We learnt so much about Florence history and it's people through our guide and the portraits throughout the palace. Such a beautiful gem! The gardens are magnificent and a pleasure to walk through on a hot day. Highly recommend!

WE LIKED: UFFIZI GALLERY WE DIDN'T LIKE: VASARI CORIDOR - after reconstruction only empty white wall space (overpass) with no arts at the time. Sculptures/busta in Coridor wraped in plastic - prepared for upcoming exhibition been said. PITTI PALACE - inside exhibitions - other disappointment - presentation of art stucked in the past - all of beautiful crystal chandeliers and statues covered by visible layer of dust/dirt... We have to say that we like art - we visited many museums and palaces around the Europe but never saw anything like that... It is pity that we cannot upload any photos to our review :(

Pitti palace was well preserved and it wasn't too crowded. Easy to move through the rooms.
Combining the two pitti and boboli on site no problem

Egyptian Obelisk Very helpful staff
They did not have WiFi at Pitti so I had to turn on my own internet which costs extra so I was annoyed about that
A visit to the Palazzo Piti and the Palatine Gallery is a pure marvel. As for the garden, disappointingly uninteresting.

Thought the palace and gardens were fantastic. Tour with students added a special touch!
The corridor has been beautifully restored but wasn't quite complete when I visited in May.

Lastly, don't forget your tickets or confirmation details for seamless entry into both attractions.
The best time to avoid crowds at Pitti Palace is in the early morning or late afternoon, particularly outside the peak visiting hours between May and October. It is recommended to arrive before 9am to take advantage of reduced price early entrance tickets.
