The spin dynamics in [TbPc$_{2}$]$^{0}$ and [DyPc$_{2}$]$^{0}$ single molecule magnets have been investigated by means of muon and nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate measurements. The correlation time for the spin fluctuations was found to be close to 0.1 ms already at 50 K, about two orders of magnitude larger than the one previously found in other lanthanide based single molecule magnets. In [TbPc$_{2}$]$^{0}$ two different regimes for the spin fluctuations have been evidenced: a high temperature activated one involving spin fluctuations across a barrier $\Delta\simeq 880 K$ separating the ground and first excited states and a low temperature regime involving quantum fluctuations within the twofold degenerate ground-state. In [DyPc$_{2}$]$^{0}$ a high temperature activated spin dynamics is also evidenced which, however, cannot be explained in terms of a single spin-phonon coupling constant.
