Duration of the Pitti Palace tour
The guided tour can last 2 or 4 hours. With the 2-hour tour, we can visit the Galleria Palatina, where the masterpieces by Raphael, Caravaggio, Rubens and Andrea del Sarto are kept. With the 4-hour, we can also visit the beauties of the Boboli Gardens.
Radio rental compulsory from 5 people onwards
From 5 people onwards, to facilitate listening to the guide explanations and ensuring social distancing outdoors and indoors, it is strictly recommended to rent radio devices with transmitters that ensure perfect listening to the explanations of the guide even from a distance; as we visit the inside of the Pitti Palace, the rental of radios is compulsory for 4 or more people. The service is booked by the guide when the guided tour is requested, but the rental cost, which is € 1.00 per person for 2 hours, 1,50 € for 4 hours, is charged to the customer and can be paid directly to the guide who will then take care to pay the supplier.
Carers or teachers of school groups do not pay for the rental of the radio.

Free admission to the state museums on the first Sundays of the month
Since the Italian Ministry of Culture has decided to reintroduce free admission to state museums on the first Sundays of the month starting from 3 April 2022, it is not recommended to book this tour every first Sunday of the month due to the huge turnout of people and the impossibility for that day to book entry at a determinate time.
