Step into a world of European art, Renaissance history, and decadence with a visit to the Pitti Palace, once home to the Medici family. The de facto rulers of Florence amassed a huge collection of private art, which is displayed in the Palatine Gallery. Visit it with a skip-the-line ticket and see works by Raphael, Botticelli, Caravaggio, and more. Your ticket also includes access to the Gallery of Modern Art where later Italian works can be seen.

Given nearly every museum in Florence is about the Renaissance period, I was excited to see the Pitti Palace's modern art gallery. I was so curious to see what modern art came out of Florentine and Italian artists. Well, what a deception. The modern art gallery is just a collection of few pieces picked from the Renaissance to today, with maybe up to 4 or 5 pieces from the XXth century, and nothing else. Again, what a disappointment!

I had to wait in line to get my ticket. I did not receive one that I could use on my phone. So that it is not skip the line!

It seems they oversold the tickets and decided to cancel the 2 tickets we booked weeks in advance 2 days before we were supposed to tour. They gave no explanation other than that it was “due to the high demand”. Now we are stuck.

We thought it would be a guided tour - The website let us to believe it be guided. We have used lots of viatours over the years and I’ve had great experiences. This just did not work out.

I visited Italy with a school group of 24 students in Dec 2019 and used Viator to book skip the line tickets to the Pitti Palace. The Pitti Palace itself is an amazing museum and I thoroughly recommend it. Just one note of warning - minors (children under 18) are free of charge (need ID). After having paid a lot of money to Viator for our tickets I was not at all happy to arrive there to be told minors are free and we could have saved ourselves over $300. It is also not necessary to book Skip-the-line tickets when travelling in low season. When we arrived at 10am on Sun 15 Dec the place was empty

We had the misfortune of booking the day the Pitti Palace closed due to the terrible weather. Although we were offered the chance to use them another day we had moved on to Venice.

as we entered the apartment wing of the tour, there was a museum employee, Stefano, at the desk checking tickets. He had a clip
board offering special tour of la cucina. TAKE IT! we got to see the king's apartment and kitchen, an experience not to be
missed if available. Stefano was amazing with his knowledge and enthusiasm.

The line was not very long and the price from Viator is more than double. But what is inside is worth seeing, a lot of extraordinary rooms and lovely paintings. We took 3 hours to see the Palace and the Boboli Garden and we were in a rush a little

The Palatine Gallery defies description. I would rank it Number One to see in Florence, ahead even of the Uffizi.The variety of art--paintings, sculptor, decorations, mosaics--is breathtaking. Must see!
What you need to know that Viator failed to explain: I arranged the tour online and got a printout confirmation with a bar code. BUT: I had learned from an earlier tour of the Accademia that you must present the computer printout at the on-site ticket office to get the actual ticket to enter the museum. Please, Viator! Let your customers know that the computer printout will not get you admitted at the door and you need to take it to the local ticket office to get the actual admission ticket. The printout does allow you to skip the line at the ticket office.

Self guided tour, but get the skip the line tix and go early to beat the crowds. So much to see. Fried my brain. Great gift shop, good prices on prints. "Modem Art" portion of ticket refers to anything after 1700, apparently, but shows evolution of Italian art into early 20th century. Beautiful.
