Palatine Gallery is amazing. Unforunately, even we were a small group, our guide was rushing us around quite quickly, thus we were not able to admire the beautiful gallery. Pitti Palace and Boboli Garden are also very beautiful and anyone can visit at their own pace.

The tour exceeded all my expectations. The guide was very professional. I travel a lot and often go on excursions, but this time it was an incredible immersion into the world of Florence. A very high level of professionalism.
