Camilla was a fantastic guide. She's knowledgeable and open to any and all questions. Small group of 9 & she gave us hearing devices to easily hear all of her commentary . We toured the Palace and special Fashion Exhibit. We did not have enough time for the BOBOLI Gardens but will be on my next visit list! Highly recommend.
