Overview

Quotes Logo The Boboli Garden Guided Tour takes visitors through a green, open-air museum right behind Palazzo Pitti. Long ago, the Medici family designed these gardens. Their Italian garden style became a model for royal gardens all over Europe.

Visitors can walk through the gardens and see old statues from the Renaissance. They can also explore cool caves, like the famous one made by Bernardo Buontalenti. Big fountains, such as the Fountain of Neptune and the Fountain of Ocean, add to the beauty. Later, the Lorena and Savoy families made the gardens even bigger. They stretched the gardens past the old city walls all the way to Porta Romana.

This tour includes a helpful staff, audio headsets if needed, extra time to explore the museum on your own, a guided tour, and an entrance ticket to the Boboli Gardens. It does not include personal expenses. Quotes Logo
