Overview
Arriving at Florence Airport (Peretola) and heading to Boboli Gardens? A private transfer is the most comfortable way to begin your time in Florence. Instead of queuing for a taxi or riding the tram with your bags, a professional, English-speaking driver meets you in the arrivals hall, helps with your luggage and drives you directly to Boboli Gardens in Oltrarno (behind Palazzo Pitti).
Florence's own airport (Amerigo Vespucci), just northwest of the city. Every transfer includes real-time flight monitoring, meet & greet, luggage assistance and a fixed, all-inclusive fare — a genuine door-to-door service with no meter and no hidden charges.
Why Choose a Private Transfer
Public options from Florence each have drawbacks: the tram to the centre means managing luggage and a final walk, the taxi rank can queue at peak times, and ride-sharing is limited in Florence. A private transfer removes all of that — one fixed price, a guaranteed driver and a direct ride to Boboli Gardens.

About Boboli Gardens
The Boboli Gardens are a vast Renaissance park behind the Palazzo Pitti, laid out for the Medici and filled with fountains, grottoes, sculpture and terraced avenues with sweeping views over Florence. They lie on the Oltrarno bank just across the river from the centre, an easy drop-off by car for the Pitti and garden complex.
One of the earliest and most influential Italian gardens, a green retreat above the Oltrarno beside the Pitti Palace. It is especially well suited to travellers visiting the Pitti Palace and gardens or staying in the Oltrarno.
