Amazing!
Our guide was amazing! And the palace is breathtaking! Thoroughly enjoyed as the area was not crowded (we did 8:30 tour) so you go to fully enjoyed the architecture and artworks of famous artists in the time of the Medicis. Highly recommend, at least with our guide. She made the history come alive!

Outstanding Tour, Captivating Art Historian
This small group tour, was the absolute best of many tours we have experienced, so far, across Europe. There is nothing better than a guide who is passionate about art history, and who brings art to life, provokes thought, and invites questions. If you have any interest at all in the Medici dynasty, the Hapsburgs and Artists: Raphael, Botticelli, Caravaggio, Titian, along with sculpture, frescoes, silks, and period furniture crafted with semi-precious inlays - then you should not miss the opportunity to take this tour of the PItti Palace.

Pitti Palace- a nice surprise vs the usual touristy things
Amazing palace to view, we booked the palace, but not Garden… Also booked a reservation to view the Royal Apartments that was outstanding. They book for 20 people maximum per tour (they run them regularly) when you go in ask to put on the list.

+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended".

+
Around 82 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

When is the best time to visit Florence?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Florence?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
