we spent a wonderful few hours with Brenda, an art historian and true history enthusiast. The tour was very informative, with many details and additional points of interest that we really appreciated hearing about.
We had an amazing experience doing this tour with Brian. He met us at our hotel, and as a bonus we learned the history of the Ponte Vecchio as we crossed it to walk to Pitti Palace. Given the size and scope of the Palace and the “museums” within it, it was certainly a benefit to have a guide to understand the families who had owned it and their acquisition of so much art and artefacts. The walls and ceilings are a virtual feast for the senses. Would certainly recommend the tour, and you may be lucky enough to go with Brian, whose wonderful manner and storytelling ability made it an unforgettable experience
We were very glad we had made the decision to do the tour with a Private Guide. Brian met us at our hotel, so walking across the Ponte Vecchio to the Palace we also learned about the history of the bridge and the traders and artists etc: The Palace is vast and every room filled with art and topped off with highly decorative walls and ornate ceilings. Brian’s delightful story telling of the families, the history and the artists made it much more meaningful. If you are interested in fabrics and clothing the small but comprehensive Costume Gallery within the Palace should not be missed . Highly recommend this and if you are lucky enough to have Brian as your guide that is a real bonus !
Manuela was a superb guide, extremely knowledgeable about the overwhelming amount of incredible artwork , as well as the history we wanted to know so much about. She is simply amazing and her guidance was impeccable. She also gave us wonderful tips for best gelato, glove shop, interesting route back to our hotel after the tour, and more. Thank you!!!
