An Outstanding Tour!
Barbara_W, Jan 2024
We had an absolutely fantastic tour with Andrea! She was so knowledgeable and shared such interesting information about both the history of Florence and its art, weaving the two together to really help you understand the Renaissance period. Her comparison of the practices and techniques used to what we do in contemporary times really helped our understanding. Her enthusiasm was contagious. The tour showed us so much more than we could have ever discovered on our own. This experience is highly recommended!!

Expertise, Friendliness and Warmth - Great Tour!

Vanessa was an exceptional tour guide during our visit to the Uffizi Gallery. She gave us the history and the stories of the art with passion and her detailed knowledge of the art and imagery was truly impressive. What set her apart was her warm and friendly approach, ensuring everyone in our group felt included and engaged. Highly recommend!
A phenomenal tour guide

Our tour guide Marta was phenomenal. She made the whole experience unforgettable and so interesting and educational. We left the tour with more knowledge and understanding of art because of her. Thank you! Highly recommended!
It is worth it !!!

Excellent !!! We got tired but we saw and learnt a lot of things. We gave a lot of money, but we will never forget this experience.
An Art Tour full of historical detail
Kevin_M, Jul 2023
I have taken a shorter Uffizi tour a few years ago. It was very good; more an introduction to the Uffizi collection. This 3 hour tour was on another level. It was a small tour group which is beneficial. The guide allowed us time to discuss the background, technique and style of the most significant paintings. She filled in biographical details of the painters and models. We also discussed other artworks by many of the painters on display in other art galleries. The 3 hours flew by. It was an outstanding tour led by an outstanding guide. I decided to focus on one tour on my visit to Florence and I definitely chose the right one.
Beautiful Afternoon of Beautiful Art
Rebekah_S, May 2023
Wonderful! Our guide was a bonafide expert in art and kept everyone's rapt attention for hours. Seeing these world famous pieces was an unreal and exhilarating experience.
Must have for a philistine like me
Jose_B, Apr 2023
A Philistine like me had a lot to learn from Marcia… I am not much of an art lover but this was a great way for me to appreciate the value of the art in front of me. Highly recommended

Fun and informative Uffizi tour
Julie_N, Aug 2022
We had a great afternoon tour with Vanessa, who was informative, engaging, charismatic, and had a natural talent of bringing the paintings and their stories to life. With all the art in the Uffizi, we definitely needed a guide to help us make sense of everything we were seeing and were very pleased by this small group tour offered by Florencetown and Vanessa.
Wow!

Brian_B, Mar 2018
The guide was very nice and organized. The tour is very informative but too slow if you’re going with teens. They spent too long explaining the art in each room. You still have to wait with the group to get into the museum which would take the same amount of time if you were to wait in line on
