Itinerary
Guided Tour The Palatine Chapel, located inside Palazzo Pitti, is a fine example of Baroque religious architecture. Commissioned by the Medici and later enriched by the Lorraine dynasty, it served as the private place of worship for Florence’s ruling families. Its interior is adorned with spectacular frescoes, intricate stuccoes, and gilded details, creating an atmosphere of grandeur and solemnity. The chapel also houses valuable sacred artworks and altarpieces. Visiting the Palatine Chapel means discovering a hidden gem of Palazzo Pitti, where faith, art, and opulence blend together, offering a unique glimpse into the spiritual life of Florence’s Grand Dukes.

Manuela was an absolute delight, was on time and really knowledgeable.
Dear Guest, thank you for your wonderful feedback! We are delighted that Manuela was punctual, knowledgeable, and such a pleasant presence during your experience. Kind regards, ACCORD Team
The art in the Pitti Palace was incredible and our guide was very knowledgeable about it. We were hoping to spend more time on the interiors of the palace and less with the art. While our guide spoke excellent English, she didn’t seem to fully comprehend when we spoke so it was difficult to convey our interests. All in all, it was a positive experience for the most part but did not meet expectations for the excessive cost.
Dear Customer, thank you sincerely for your detailed feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you appreciated the beauty of the art at the Pitti Palace and the expertise of our guide. We’re sorry, however, that the experience did not fully meet your expectations. Private tours are designed to be flexible and customizable, and we regret that you were not able to clearly communicate your interests during the visit. We fully understand your interest in every detail of the museum’s collections; unfortunately, in just two hours, it’s quite difficult to cover every single artwork in depth. That said, we would like to highlight that our guide, passionate and highly qualified, is always committed to providing a rich and engaging experience, sharing the extraordinary beauty of Florence’s artistic heritage with enthusiasm. Please also note that once the guided tour ends, guests are free to continue exploring the museum at their own pace. We hope to welcome you again in the future, perhaps for a visit even more aligned with your preferences. Warm regards, ACCORD Team

We look forward to welcoming you again soon for another memorable and enriching experience! Best regards, ACCORD Team
Came here with my family. The Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens were beautiful. Our tour guide Fabrizio was fanstastic, very knowledgeable.
Andrea was amazing, he conveyed his passion for the art and taught us so much about the periods, pieces, and Pitti history. He is a perfect gentleman.
Our very nice and professional guide Claudia made us discover the wonderful works of art of the Pitti palace
Thank you so much for your kind words. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us. We will inform Claudia of your feedback - we're sure she'll apprecciate. We look forward to meeting you again in the future!
I booked directly online on Accord Solutions website for this tour. It was supposed to be a group tour but only me for the date. Accord Solutions still carried on the tour with Natalia as the tour guide. I could not thank Natalia enough for the experience. I watched too much TV series "the Medici" during lockdowns. So I decided to visit Florence to learn about the Medici family when we were allowed to travel. Natalia was very knowledgeable and passionate about art and history. I would miss 95% of information about Pitti Palace without a professional guide. Pitti Palace was the 3rd home for the Medici family full of luxury furniture, paintings and sculpture. Natalia pointed out stories behind all of the precious items. Without her, I would not know about the significance. The last Saturday of September happened to be carro matto celebration in Florence. Unfortunately it overlapped with my Pitti Palace tour schedule. I asked many people and checked website about carro matto but nobody could tell me if it was still happening. Local Florence people told me it was cancelled due to COVID. It was a medieval style parade that I did not want to miss. Lucky me! Natalia knew about the parade route and schedule. She gave me detailed instruction. I was sorry to rush her to finish the private tour slightly early, so I could see both Pitti Palace as well as see carro matto. Yes I made it! I am very grateful that Natalia gave me such nice tour as well as helping out with my personal wish. I would definitely check out Accord Solutions tours next time I am in Florence
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was an absolute pleasure serving you. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and being so open with us. We try to select the best guides and Natalia is definitely one of them!!! We hope you'll come and see us again soon! Best regards, ACCORD Team
Elizabet was our tour guide for the Pitti Place, and she was fabulous. I have been to the Pitti Palace before, but the insights and background she offered were entertaining, interesting, and informative. She was thoughtful, detailed, and genuinely interested in our experience. She took special care with my companion who had a broken foot, ensuring that we could get to see the Boboli Gardens without climbing steps.
