Pitti Palace & Boboli Gardens guided tour with Palatina GalleryA guided tour of Pitti Palace in a small group combines the Palatina Gallery's paintings from the 1500s and 1600s with a walk through the Boboli Gardens, one of the first Italian Renaissance gardens. An experienced English-speaking guide leads the three-hour visit; timed entry tickets and earsets (for groups of 4+) are included. Children from age 6 are welcome.Is it for me?The tour moves at a walking pace through galleries and gardens over three hours, so a moderate level of fitness helps you keep up with the group and the guide's stops.

Bike rental and all tastings are included; in winter months the gelato stop becomes cake and coffee, and the tour runs in the morning for better light.Is it for me?Choose the regular bike if you want a steady pace through the city; pick the e-bike option if you prefer less pedalling on the climbs to the walls and around the neighbourhoods.
