  Excellent tour, highly recommended! I highly recommend the guided tour. Before the tour I knew a little about the Medici family bankers and some of their influence on the arts and sciences. I had no idea how extensive it actually was. And, their influence in the Roman Catholic Church.

  Fabulous artwork in a magnificent building with beautiful terraced gardens behind the palace.A visit to the Pitti Palace in Florence also offers a more material experience of aristocracy with exhibits like the Porcelain Museum, Treasury of the Grand Dukes and the Museum of Costume and Fashion for an in-depth look into the possessions and daily indulgences of the ruling class. Directly behind Pitti Palace are the marvellous Boboli Gardens. The Medici family established the layout of the gardens, creating the Italian garden style that would become a model for many European courts. The vast green expanse with a regular layout is a real outdoor museum, populated by ancient and Renaissance statues.
