This amazing tour will show you Pitti Palace (Palazzo Pitti), the sumptuous residence of three royal dynasties that ruled Florence over the centuries, the Medici, the Lorraine and the Savoy families, and two Renaissance gardens, Boboli Garden and Bardini Garden, great examples of “giardino all’italiana” where literally Nature meets Art.

My Gardens of Florence tour is an itinerary studied for open green space lovers and for those who want to flee from the crowds of Florence. Our gardens were all built on the slopes of the hills, which is the reason why foreign visitors have always been enchanted by them and by the view of the city that these charming places offer. They are all perfect examples of Italian style gardens, boasting elegant fountains, mysterious grottoes and ancient sculptures, which render them open air museums! This tour is suitable for visitors who want to see something off the beaten tracks and who like photography.

We will enter the beautiful Boboli Garden and visit it till the highest point where we will go out and after few meters we will have a walk in the beautiful Bardini Garden with one of the most spectacular view of Florence.
