Overview

The Uffizi Gallery is one of the world’s busiest and largest art museums—but this small-group, skip-the-line option makes it easier to beat the crowds and discover the Renaissance masterpieces. Meet your guide right outside the museum, head in with skip-the-line tickets (additional cash expense), and leave the navigation to your guide. You’ll get up close and personal with world-renowned artworks, and will learn the stories behind the canvases.

Beat the lines and save time with skip-the-line tickets (added expense)
Don’t worry about navigating your own way through the busy galleries

The guide was extremely knowledgeable

AntonioIgnacio_R, May 2024

The guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate, carrying out the visit with enthusiasm and in-depth knowledge. Thanks to his detailed and engaging explanations, I was able to better understand the historical importance of Renaissance and Botticelli's influence on the art and culture of the time. During the visit, the guide was able to highlight Botticelli's most significant works present in the Uffizi, such as the famous "Birth of Venus" and "Spring". Through her words, I was able to grasp the beauty and depth of these works of art, appreciating the details and Botticelli's mastery in representing female beauty and mythological themes.

Great guide, surprise extra cost!

Louis_S, May 2024

The tour guide, Victoria, was fantastic!! Knowledgeable and personable! We loved her! If I was rating just her, she’d be 5 stars!!!! What I didn’t like was the surprise extra $60 euros we had to pay for the headsets! $29 each. That was not ok!

Amazing experience

egli_h, May 2024

Caterina was wonderful, great host and great knowledge. Made our tour of the museum seamless and effective! It's much too big to do on your own and wonder what everything is. Caterina showed us the core pieces on display and explained each one saving us hours of endless walking around.

Good tour but the extra payment of the ticket was unexpected

Beatriz_V, Apr 2024

The tour guide was very friendly and nice. Everything was on time and easy to find the meeting point. However when I booked I didn’t realize that we had to pay extra for the tickets. In all the other bookings I had done the ticket was included. Also they only accept cash.

Very good experience

Magdalena_N, Oct 2023

Hour and a half is obviously not long enough to see everything what Uffizi has to offer, but this is a very informative, interesting and professionally done tour. Avoiding the queue is an extra bonus. We would definitely recommend it.

Our guide was...

Sheri_M, Oct 2023

Our guide was exceptional! I learned so much and it was far better than going it alone. I would highly recommend the guided tour.

Great tour, highly recommended

MaryAnne_H, Sep 2023

Well organised and informative guide. Interesting insights into some famous works. I would definitely recommend this tour

Worth it for Uffizi tour

Dana_D, Sep 2023

Caterina was an informed guide who imparted some wonderful anecdotes about works of art clearly and with humor

Overpriced, waste of a tour

AndrewSchatz, Sep 2023

Terrible tour. Note the price of the ticket (€30 is not included). Overpriced and the tour guide would stop at each painting for 5 minutes and discuss every detail in minutia. We ended up leaving and viewing the museum on our own, because it was so boring. The tours are a scam in Florence. Tour operators buy up all the tickets in advance, so you can’t buy tickets on your own, and you’re forced to pay 2-3x the entry ticket price through them.

Last minute booking - worthy of an addition to the itinerary!

Quinn_R, Sep 2023

Well educated guides, spoke clearly, were entertaining and passionate about their history and the tour.

Art great, but guide too long-winded.

Donald_D, Sep 2023

The art itself was awesome. The guide, however, spent way too much time on just a few pieces. We would have preferred to see many more pieces with the guide spending less time going on and on about a few pieces.

Very informative

Kelly_R, Aug 2023

Easy admission and very informative. Guides English was slightly difficult to understand. Her voice didn’t project enough.

1.5h cliff note version...

Galina_S, Aug 2023

1.5h cliff note version of Uffici Gallery. No waiting in lines. See only very important pieces of art.

Excellent guide

Stuart_F, Aug 2023

Elvis was extremely knowledgeable and very witty. He showed us the most relevant exhibits. He kept us captivated with his knowledge.

Quite exhausting Ofici visit

Gofna_L, Jul 2023

Interesting tour and good selection of the art pieces described. Guide not very lively and sometimes hard to flow

Great tour

Amy_L, Jul 2023

Rosa was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly too. She showed us unique insight about the various artworks. Great tour!

A really nice and...

ELENA_V, May 2023

A really nice and educational tour which showed the most important pieces of art in the Uffizi gallery

The stories the intrigues of Uffizi!

Linda_B, Apr 2023

Guide Elvis Made the Art and Gallery of Uffizi come to life with the stories of Art’s progress and the hot gossip intrigue behind the paintings and artists who painted them ( and themselves into them)!

Very knowledgeable tour guide.

Philip_h, Apr 2023

We had a very knowledgeable and nice tour guide, a German woman that spoke english whose name I don't recall unfortunately. She had great perspectives on the works and historical context that wouldn't be seen or known just by standing in front of a painting or reading the description. I am glad my wife and I were able to go to the Uffizi for the first time while hearing her perspective on the works.

ELVIS, THE KING OF GUIDE !!!

Hugh_C, Oct 2022

Elvis was a remarkable guide. We were a small group from diverse origins. He managed to keep us entertained and interested . We visited the Uffici within 2 hours and he showed us the main and most important pieces. Excellent job!
