    know the specific spot to find the group or your visit will be ruined
    Gloria_H, Apr 2024
    My experience immediately prior to entering the Uffizzi was terrible. I was on time and in the right place, but I could not find the group. I did not know we were meeting under the Giotto statue. After 20 min of running up and down and asking many other guides I finally found the group. The sign was sitting on the street at ankle level. When another person said ‘under the Giotto’ was on her voucher I was told by an organizer (not the guide) there are different messages on different ‘platforms’. It was hot, I was miserably uncomfortable, and very frustrated. The tour itself was ok … the beginning was ruined by my fear of not finding the group , losing my payment, and being so uncomfortable
    A great tour
    Allie_G, Mar 2024
    We had a delayed start as there was no one from Italy Pass at the meeting spot until 15 minutes after the start time, but once we got moving it was very good. Fabrizio was an excellent and engaging guide and helped to make the magnitude of the Uffizi digestible and accessible. He had great insights and stories and kept our group very engaged. There were 7 of us which was the perfect size.
    Great! But Slow Down!
    Phyllis_P, Mar 2024
    Our guide was very knowledgeable, passionate about the art and she ensured her group was always accounted for. I appreciate she made the effort to explain the nuances of the time periods and pointed out unique ways to observe the art. The Uffizi was crowded and she did her best to navigate through all the people. The last 45 minutes seemed rushed as we zipped from one area to another and at the end it felt more like trying to get through the tour script and zero time to ask questions. Raised my hand a few times and was ignored. I highly recommend a tour and our tour guide was informative, maybe slow down and engage with the group. We would have never known if she skipped part of the tour, I would have rather be engaged and acknowledged versus being talked to.
    Great guide
    Ellen_S, Oct 2023
    Our guide was great. She had great knowledge of art history which made us appreciate the visit all the more.
    Beautiful art
    Angie_B, Oct 2023
    There is no crowd control and we left early. It was hard to enjoy with thousands of people pushing you. Our guide however was fabulous.
    Great overview of an amazing collection
    Kevin_K, Sep 2023
    Alex was our tour guide, and she was able to navigate us through the crowds without losing anyone. She was amazing in giving an overview of the collection by hitting the significant pieces, the turning points, and by pointing out elements that we'd never have noticed alone. I would recommend her tour to anyone and everyone.
    Worst experience in museum
    Gabriela_K, Aug 2023
    The tour guide we had didn’t wait for any of us. She would go to another room and we would have to guess where she is. She would stand in front of the paintings and do a monologue not interacting with us. Another family travelled with us and we were both constantly trying to keep up with the tour guide.
    Group was big and guide didn’t connect with us.
    Nora_Z, Jul 2023
    This was a museum full of amazing art. The guide was unfortunately impersonal, hard to understand and monotonous and threw random pieces of info about the art on the walls without making any effort to give any background. Group was too big about 20ppl. Not sure how that’s a semi private tour.
    Hard to hear through ear piece provided
    Hanna_E, Jul 2023
    We were disappointed with our tour because the headphone audio wasn’t good. The tour guide was knowledgeable and had a great attitude, but the ear piece was so cheap that we couldn’t hear her very clearly. They need to invest in better earpieces like the ones I’ve used with other companies. I’m pretty confident that the ear piece was the issue and not our guide or background noise in the museum.
    Take smaller group/ great guide
    Sheila_D, Jun 2023
    Too crowded Maybe better with smaller group The guide was very informative she knows her art history
    Could be better
    Jared_T, Jun 2023
    The Uffizi Gallery was very crowded, the headsets only had a single earpiece and it was hard to hear our tour guide. It felt very rushed and we even got left by our tour guide because she was hurrying so much.
    Worth it to skip line and navigate museum
    Maria_H, Jun 2023
    The tour itself was a bit slow for me, however once in one can break away. I thought the tour was a great way to get in the museum as I saw tourists literally crying with the confusion as to what line they need to be in.
    Great tour
    alan_y, May 2023
    Excellent guide (olga) which meant that it was very educational and we learned a lot. However “semi private” did not match our expectations with a very full gallery
    So crowded it's scary!
    Adeline_T, May 2023
    Even at 8:30 am, too crowded. A lady actually clawed me and shoved me out of her way. It isn't the tour's fault. There are just too many people in the museum.
    Take a tour and learn a lot!
    Janice_M, May 2023
    Our tour guide Jessica was very knowledgeable and her enthusiasm and love for the art shined through her tour. Skipping the line was so important as we had little time in Florence. Our meeting place was easy to find.
    Not a great experience
    50klm, May 2023
    Guide and helper were late. Guide was very knowledgeable but too detailed and boring for non art majors. Tour went 20 minutes past published end time. Guide was sneezing and coughing. He stopped the group immediately inside the Ufizzi and excused himself for 5 minutes with his headset active for all to hear.
    Uffuzi Visit
    Clint_S, May 2023
    The Uffizi is an amazing museum full of works that we study in school! My guide was great and informative. The museum was PACKED the day I visited after a holiday. It was informative, but probably could get away with just getting a general entrance for the same experience.
    Tour guide did a good job...
    Anne_M, May 2023
    Tour guide did a good job showing the group the highlights in 90 min. Huge museum, would go back to see more.
    Engaging and beautiful experience
    Caroline_B, Apr 2023
    We had a great time on this tour and our guide made it a great experience! He was so passionate about the museum and it really came through in all the questions he answered and the stories he told around all the artwork and the museum. We also had a family member join who walks a bit slower and they had no issue navigating the museum and keeping up with the group. Recommend this to anyone!
    Uffizi was done a disservice.
    Carole_M, Apr 2023
    The tour guide talked a lot- not very interesting. Six of us had a similar experience of the tour. Won't book again on this tour despite repeat visits to Florence.
