Our 1.5 hour tour turned into almost 3 hours and she did a fantastic job telling us about the history. She was incredibly informative and after the tour recommended some restaurants nearby to enjoy (which we did!). My husband said this was his favorite tour of our entire 10 day Italy trip. Highly recommend”

The palace was amazing with the architecture and decoration in the rooms nearly outshining the artwork on display. We missed the windows to visit the private apartments as we were not aware we needed extra tickets. We then went out to the gardens which were wonderful, but too large to visit properly after seeing the palace.”
