What To Expect

Designed by Giorgio Vasari, the Uffizi Gallery was originally constructed for the city’s judiciary offices, but slowly filled with artwork owned by the rulers of the Medici family. After the Medici’s fall from power in the 18th century, the lavish structure was transformed into a museum, today comprising 1,500 pieces of art in 45 rooms.

Your tour will begin in front of the Uffizi Gallery in central Florence, where you’ll meet your guide. Head straight inside, bypassing the crowds and long lines with your priority access ticket. Your guide will take you to each of the museum’s highlights, stopping to admire Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, Michelangelo’s Doni Tondo, da Vinci’s Annunciation and more. Afterward, head to upper level to see masterpieces from Caravaggio.

Then continuing exploring the museum at your own pace if you wish, or check out the rooftop café to kick back with a refreshment (own expense).

Terrible!

Sue_B, Mar 2024

Nothing. I’d like my money back. Everything was disorganized. The tour didn’t start till 330 we needed to leave and go to the next thing and so we only got to have about 30 minutes in the museum. The guide herself was great but the people organizing the tour was terrible.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Good afternoon from Caf Tour & Travel, Dear Sue, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are glad that you enjoyed the experience and knowledge of the guide, but in the same way we are sorry to hear that the activity you booked did not live up to your expectations. We would like to clarify that on our online page it is specified in the description of the option you chose "Uffizi English Tour at 3:30pm" and that the duration of the tour is one and a half hours, so ending by approximately 5pm. Hoping that the above clarification meet your understanding, Warm regards

Informative

Jennifer_H, Oct 2022

Sylvia is very knowledgeable about the history of the art and I learned things that I never would have seen on our own.

Good highlight tour of the Uffizi!

Suzanne_F, Aug 2022

This small group tour ended up being a private tour for our family of 5 (kids ages 16, 13, 10). Our guide was friendly and informative. Because it was just our family, we were able to engage more by asking questions.

Uffizi in 90 minutes

Bret_L, Aug 2022

Excellent highlights of such an expansive museum. Marta, our guide was fabulous. Allow extra time to find the meeting point.

Uffizi Visit

Kellie_B, Sep 2021

We enjoyed our experience at the Uffizi. Simone was a wonderful guide who brought the works to relevance. As noted. In the fine print, the tour might be in two languages and she bounced back and forth from Italian to English without missing a beat. A most interesting morning for certain.

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Dear Kellie_B, thank you so much for having joined our Uffizi guided visit in small group and for having shared your experience with us, in such an enthusiastic way! We are really glad to know that you have loved your visit to the amazing Uffizi Gallery with our professional guide Simona. We hope to see you again in the future to show you other wonders of our Country. Our best regards

Uffizi Gallery is more than just Venus on the Half Shell

EliseSalt, Oct 2019

Our tour guide was excellent and it really was a SMALL group tour. We were only four people so we could get through the crowds easily. I learned so much from our knowledgeable guide!

Terrible Company, Good Guide

Venture63810483188, Jun 2019

CAF Tours is very unorganized!! We booked the 9:00 am tour, but they sent us an email the day before in the afternoon (which we didn't see until we connected to the wifi in our hotel at night) to let us know that they had cancelled our tour! They gave us the option of taking the 4:00 pm, which we did, but completely ruined our plans for the rest of the day (we had other tours booked for that afternoon). Since we really wanted to do the Uffizi with a guide, we cancelled our other plans and went to the 4:00 pm tour. When we got there, they were extremely unorganized. A lot of people were there claiming for other cancelled tours, no lines, not enough staff. We had a terrible experience. Once inside the museum, our guide was very good, and we ended up having a good tour, but the for the hassle of dealing with this company, it wasn't worth it. Please DO take a tour to the Uffizi Gallery, which is amazing and a must do in Florence, but DON"T take it with CAF Tours. Use any other company, which there are many other good ones. Taking a tour of the gallery is definitely better than doing it on your own, because you get much more from the guide's interpretation and background, and just watching the painting by yourself.

Exactly what I was looking for.

Jose_M, Jun 2019

I am not a big museum fan. Hence I wanted a short and sweet tour, in and out with a knowledgeable guide. I got it right. No lines. No screaming kids. Perfect for a solo traveler. Fredericka was my guide. Perfect. 10/10

Uffizi with Antonio

Suzanne_H, Jun 2019

Amazing! One of my highlights during my week stay in Florence. Antonio was the best. Made the artwork come to life!!

Great tour with history!

ccaldwell_601, Jun 2019

We went on the early morning tour of the museum. The lines weren’t super long, but being in a small group where we had a guide describe the art and history surrounding the pieces made this tour really worth it!

Response from Host, Jun 2019

Dear ccaldwell_601, let us thank you for your kind words and for having shared your experience with us and our common readers! We are so proud to notice that the quality of the service given has been able to meet your expectations!

We hope to have the possibility to welcome you again in one of our activities, to show you other wonders of our city and country! Our Best Regards

Great Experience

Debara_R, May 2019

The tour guide was excellent. She was knowledgeable and easy to understand. It made the museum so much more enjoyable to know what you were seeing and to see the progression of the arts from early paintings to more advanced paintings, etc.

for the love of art

shelleys_j, Oct 2018

the tour and the guide was very informative, and the art was amazing. this was the second time to visit the Uffizi, and enjoyed it as much as the first time.

Herbert L, Oct 2018

Tour itself was very good. Saw most all of the of the greatest Uffizi works but not much more. The guide did her best to skirt the crowds. Problem I had was when I showed up for my morning tour I was told it was cancelled. They said they sent me an email, which has yet to show up. They did put me on a late tour, which did not leave time to see the rest of the collection before closing.

Vickie O, Sep 2018

Cara was our tour guide and expert in Art History. There were only 4 in our group which made this tour so nice and personal. I would highly recommend Caf Tour and Travel. skip the line worked really well.

We took this tour to see the Birth of Venus painting. It was magical. The Gallery was extremely crowded but I guess that is to be expected. Loved skipping to the front of the line!

We're more into architecture than art, so we were not sure whether to skip the gallery tour. It was amazing and well worth it. Great job!
