A beautiful garden, very... - A beautiful garden, very lovely, but middle of the day in July was a little much. Certainly worth a look earlier in the day or later evening.

Beautiful sight to see - The gardens are stunning and the history incorporated there is astounding. There is so much to see no matter where you go. There is a lot of walking uphill and up stairs which can be steep and uneven but once you reach the top the views are spectacular.

Quiet place in Florence - If you want to relax from the hustle and bustle in the city - worth the visit - you can pay the entrance fee on site - costs 10€/person

Lovely place - Beautiful gardens but many sculptures not available due to building / restoration works. Never found the Kaffehuse! We entered from the top but either way there is a steep climb one way or the other!

Buy tickets at the garden to save money - The gardens were beautiful but don’t waste your money on skip the line tickets. It was not crowded when we arrived. The tickets for the gardens only were €10 each. I paid over $150 CAD for the tickets through Viator.

Booked the tickets through this operator - big mistake!! - Little did we know that once we walked 20 minutes uphill in 30°C heat to reach the Boboli Gardens entrance, we couldn’t even redeem our tickets. We were told we had to go all the way back down to the Uffizi Gallery to meet a man who would hand us the actual tickets. That’s another 20-minute walk, over the bridge and through crowds, completely pointless and makes no sense. We paid over £40 for “skip the line” access, but when we got there on a Saturday morning in July, it wasn’t busy at all. There was no line. So essentially, we paid a hefty premium just to have someone hold our tickets at a totally unrelated location. In the end, we gave up and just bought new tickets at the entrance for €10 each. While the gardens themselves are beautiful, they are very hilly and there were no refreshment stands open - no water, no snacks, nothing. There was a sign on the map for an ice cream stand, but we never found it. We made the mistake of not bringing water, assuming (like most tourist attractions) there would be places to buy some. Big regret. If you go, bring a picnic, take water, and buy your ticket at the gate. Don’t make the same mistake we did. This operator is a waste of money and causes more hassle than help. Maybe I should have read the small print or maybe they should state before buying or in their title that you have to collect the tickets elsewhere, seems like a scam!

Skip booking - Waste of money and time - don’t need a tour much cheaper to get at gate - go early to avoid heat - steep incline and no shade - far away to pick up tickets to actual entrance - no help anywhere

Misleading!!!!! - Very misleading!!!! The listing does not mention anywhere that you need to pick your tickets up at a location about 15 mins walk from the actual gardens. The gardens themselves are gorgeous but you’re better off just buying tickets when you get there, which is what we ended up having to do
