Great tour

Tiffany_F, Apr 2024

Great tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable and made for a great experience. Would recommend going in the morning if possible, limited people and space to see everything.

Great Uffizi Tour

Pamela_B, Apr 2024

Our tour guide, Hilary, was wonderful. We were a group of 6, including 2 young children (7&5), and she made it interesting for all of us. Her in-depth knowledge about the museum, the Medici family, and the works of art, kept us entertained and interested the entire time. I highly recommend this tour!

Too slow

Donna_G, Apr 2024

This tour time selected so we could get an early, less crowded experience but our guide kept us outside too long. The pace of the tour was too slow and while knowledgeable the guide went into too much detail (20 min per painting).

Awesome tour!

Donald_L, Mar 2024

Angelo was very easy to find at the exact place. We were told to meet him. He was very well prepared with technology, tickets, and an extremely deep knowledge of the subject. He was fun, funny, and moved us through Uffizi’s “greatest hits” in 90 min. Not too short. Not too long to see everything you need to see. Night time to explore other areas afterward.

Overwhelming museum well worth having a guide to show you

Ruth_K, Mar 2024

Such an amazing museum well worth it having a time ticket to get into the museum and see the highlights. Even non-peak. Season, it’s pretty full as a museum. With taking the full three hour tour because it’s just so much to see.

Early bird Uffizi tour with Gianna - a must

Vlada_V, Feb 2024

Gianna is a dream guide for the Uffizi Gallery. Beginning with the history of the building, she proceeded to the collection of art. Gianna arranged the stunning wealth of the museum into an engaging story of art and artists. We started with the icons by Giotto and his teacher and made our way toward the giants of the High Renaissance. Gianna not only shared her knowledge - including the latest findings - but offered us an insightful and compelling view of art and art history. We just loved the tour!

Fascinating comparisons and new info

Elizabeth_P, Nov 2023

Our guide was passionate and knowledgeable about art and did a great job explaining how the art evolved from the Middle Ages over the next 300 years. He provided interesting stories and background information! This was our second time to take this tour and we learned new and different things. We really enjoyed our morning at the Uffizzi!

Great small group tour!

Diane_N, Oct 2023

Easy meeting point. Our tour guide, Linda was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. It ended up being the 3 of us so that was great and made it easy to move around the Uffizi. We saw all the highlights starting in chronological order. We loved that. We were able to use the elevator for my husbands needs. Prosecco on the roof top cafeteria was a nice way to end our afternoon.

Steve_E, Oct 2023

Our guide was so knowledgeable. Any question we threw at her she was able to address. We hit all the key masterpiece’s in a timely but not rushed tour

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Extraordinary tour!

Michael_D, Oct 2023

The tour guide, Giana, was knowledgeable and charming. Her thorough interpretations of the artwork was extraordinary. She made every explanation interesting by adding details and comparing criticisms of the past to present day critiques. A marvel!

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Lovely and informative ...

Ellen_L, Oct 2023

Lovely and informative guide. Even though we were surrounded by other larger groups - it was nice to be in our very small group. Our guide explained the evolution of painting styles and the use of perspective over the centuries. As well as the influence of one painter on another.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

A value-added experience

Corinne_T, Oct 2023

We had an excellent leader who guided us through the important paintings and their significance in history. We enjoyed the context that she provided. We would have been lost without this help. Everything is written in Italian.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Book NOW with Elisabetta!

Chelsea_B, Sep 2023

Elisabetta was the perfect guide! We wish we would have had her for all of our tours while in Italy. She took us to the highlights and gave us their backgrounds, all while being hilarious. Her historical knowledge was matched by her modern wit. A+++!
