Brought everything to life!

Harason_H, Apr 2024

I knew that bringing my boyfriend to the Uffizi would be a struggle. He's not into art, and I know that the facility is overwhelming, so I got a guide to explain everything. Our guide, Stefano, had us laughing and so engaged for the whole time. We couldn't believe how much we got out of these few hours with him. My bf left and said, "I want to do more research on this and that later tonight" because he actually cared about art and life in Florence during the Renaissance. Wow! Thank you, Stefano! We had such a blast, and I wish we could have done all of our tours throughout town with you. We highly recommend! PS - Thank you for bringing the microphone and ear pieces for us. The Uffizi is loud and packed, and there is no way we could have heard a guide without them. Plus, it allows me to wander around a little and take pictures. Keep it up.

Excellent Uffizi private tour!

Michelle_H, Apr 2024

Ghergana was wonderful. She was informative and answered every one of our questions & there were many. She took her time & carefully explained even the smallest details. It is obvious she has a passion for not just art but also Florence and it’s history. We absolutely recommend her to anyone for a tour.

Anna…If ten stars were possible, or twenty..

Barbara_B, Apr 2024

My husband and I have visited Florence and the Uffizi three times in our lives. On this trip we decided to have a more intimate experience away from the group and audio tours. I can sincerely say that booking Anna was the best experience we could have possibly imagined. She is a native Florentine an art history teacher, an artist who understands perspective and how light and negative space was used by the Masters to create and birth the Renaissance. I truly feel it was the best two hours ever in a museum… and I have toured.. well.. many many in this world. Thank you Anna.. I felt a connection and a beauty with her as our passionate guide who was able to share her breathed of knowledge so well. ..and it will never be forgotten… ever. I need more tours with Anna! We must return again.. it’s just impossible to say.. “ I’ve seen Florence”… there is so much more every single time…❤️

Private tour with Anna saved our Uffizi experience!

Dawn_F, Mar 2024

Our tour with Anna was amazing. We went on a Tuesday mobbed with students on spring break and families traveling for Easter. Anna was able to guide us confidently through the crowds to a position where she could explain what we were seeing and we could see the artwork up close without feeling like we were shoving our way in front of others. We could NEVER have navigated our way through the crowd to find all the beautiful pieces of art and to understand the lineage of master and student without her knowledge. She was a joy to learn from, and we were grateful for her knowledge and kindness in guiding us through this beautiful museum. Brava Anna!!

Anne and Uffizi

Heather_J, Mar 2024

Anne was absolutely incredible! I don't even know how else to describe her energy and knowledge. She was fantastic. I learned so much about the art and the history of the city. My 11 year old daughter also loved her. Highly recommend Anne and Liv Tours!

Like walking with a professor

Thomas_R, Mar 2024

Excellent guide! Able to distill huge museum into numerous important representative pieces. Wonderful background knowledge of Florentine history

Passionate and Knowledgeable Guide

John_H, Feb 2024

What a wonderful, wonderful day touring the Uffizi Gallery. Our guide, Manuela, was very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. You could tell giving tours was not just a job for her. Her passion for the art was obvious. At times she was almost emotional, describing what we were seeing. We highly recommend this tour and Manuela.

Engaging & Informative

RobinM, Dec 2023

Ana was an incredible guide to the Uffizi - enthusiastic, engaging, & so knowledgeable. Her description of the Medicis & her perspective on the art were equally fascinating. Grazie mille!

Highly recommended

Carlotta_P, Nov 2023

Amazing guide, she put true passion in her job and made our tour unforgettable! The overall organization of the tour was perfect.

Anna was wonderful. Great...

Cara_D, Nov 2023

Anna was wonderful. Great stories and really painted a vibrant picture of the historical context of the works and learned a lot about the evolution of art during the renaissance. Can’t recommend enough, highlight of the trip!

Great tour. Very...

Nicholas_L, Oct 2023

Great tour. Very interesting and informative guide. We went at 4p, so museum was almost empty. Highly recommend.

Great tour of the Ufizzi!

Sheri_P, Sep 2023

Galya was the name of our guide. She did a great job taking us to the highlights of the museum and including a few of her favorites as well. The only problem was she had so much to say so she talked very fast. I loved seeing all the pieces I had seen only photos of for so long.

Excellent

Robert_M, Sep 2023

Guide was amazing. Bothe my wife, 20 and 28 year old daughters loved it! She was very knowledgeable and guided us at the right pace through the museum. Her knowledge of pre-renaissance and renaissance art was impeccable! Highly recommended.

The Uffizi is greatness!

Laura_F, Sep 2023

This museum has so much to offer and you could spend the entire day soaking it in. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we’re so glad we had her.

Must see with great tour guide

Margaret_D, Sep 2023

Fantastic! Our guide was wonderful and knowledgeable. She showed us all the important works of art and talked about the history. We would have been lost in the museum without her.

Expert guide and fabulous art

jackietallon, Aug 2023

This tour was the highlight of our visit to Florence. Anna or Anne, I’m not sure of the spelling, our guide was outstanding. So knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the the paintings she showed us. She gave a great explanation of the history of the Medici family as we entered the museum which gave context to the paintings and building we would looking at. She gave insights on the paintings we looked at and understanding of the chronology and how this affected the art. She also explained the relationships between the artists. We both loved it and can’t recommend it highly enough.

Absolutely Worth It

Benjamin_H, Aug 2023

The Uffizi is must see. About halfway through, I was blown away by what was there. And that was before I saw the Da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael materials. The tour guide was astonishingly good and really helped us understand what we were seeing and the development of renaissance art through it.

Excellent guided tour

Oksana_S, Aug 2023

Terrific experience Our guide Anna was amazing, knowledgeable and great story teller The informative and insightful guided tour was 5 star Highly recommend !

Highly recommend for a private tour!

Rachel_F, Aug 2023

Highly recommend this tour! Our tour guide, Francesca, was wonderful and my husband and I really enjoyed our time. There is so much to see at the Uffizi Gallery and Francesca did a great job at showing us the best artwork while explaining the history in an enjoyable way. She was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and I couldn’t have imagined going to the Gallery without a tour guide. Don’t hesitate to book this tour!

Awesome experience

Jennifer_C, Aug 2023

Our tour guide Anna was wonderful in explaining important history when touring the Uffizi. She kept my three children’s attention (12,15,17) and gave interesting insights! Her passion for Florence and history telling really made the experience so enjoyable. Would highly recommend and not hesitate to book with her again.
