Our guide brought the Renaissance alive with his knowledge of history and art. I learned the stories behind the artists and their work. Fabulous 2 hours. Suggestion: choose earliest tour time of the day.
“Really lovely time with Irena. We only had four in our group and the price included the museum ticket. She shared so much knowledge I glazed over after 2 hours! Highly recommend. Great value!”
Cristiano was a great and knowledgeable guide. The best time we’ve had at an art museum and renewed an interest in art history.
_An excellent tour, our guide (Cosetta) was super knowledgeable about the museum, artwork, architecture and Florence history (provided great context for what we viewed) and she had a great sense of humor, making it an all around enjoyable experience. The lines to get into the museum are extremely long but with this tour there is no wait to get in. If your considering visiting Uffizi Gallery this tour is a must!_
Irene is a super knowledgeable about Uffizi’s history and everyhting that is exposed in the Gallery, we felt very well attended with special treatment in every part of the museums we visited. We recommend touring with Irene 100% and we recommende even more to book a private tour as we had
Best tour on our trip so far, Rubina story telling was easy to follow and to the point. We really loved this experience and we had a crush on the reinassence period. Highly recommend this 2hr experience!
Amazing morning at the Uffizi Gallery with Cristiano! We immediately felt comfortable with him and thanks to his knowledge we have been learnign so much! He told great stories and was very funny, we'd recommend it to everyone!
We thoroughly enjoyed the most wonderful two hours with our warm and thoughtful guide Sandra! Circumstance gave the two of us the opportunity to have Sandra all to ourselves. She was amazing in her extensive knowledge and her ability to teach us the fundamentals of the evolution and development of Renaissance art while keeping it all engaging and entertaining as she walked us through the most prominent and famous parts of the collection. The Uffizi is breathtaking and the collection vast, so we stayed on at the end of the tour to explore on our own, armed with the knowledge Sandra had provided. We would not have had the appreciation nor understanding for the the rest of our visit without the foundation provided by our guide. Thanks so much for the great opportunity!
Wonderful experience at The Uffizi gallery! Our guide Irene was incredibly prepared and made sure to give us all time to appreciate each piece of art as well as explaining the background behind them. We where bale to skip the line quickly and starting early we had the museums for ourselves! We were a small group of only 6 people, it was perfect ! Would definitely recommend it!
We had a great tour with Cristiano today. As promised, tickets were provided and we skipped the line. We enjoyed the highlights of the gallery and received excellent presentation and explanations of various interesting details. Cristiano pointed thoughtfully better places to view certain points of interest and where to avoid the long lines. The experience was definitely worth it.
This is a niche experience made by true locals! Our guide was a qualified art historian, specialized on the florentine history and used to work in the Uffizi itself during differents seasons, we coulnd't end in better hands. We skipped the line easily, everything was so well organized form the communication, meetign point and entrance, all was included in the price it self, we just had to show up! Many thanks again for this amazing experience at the Uffizi Gallery!
We had a wonderful day to tour the Uffizi museum. There is thoughtful story telling, great detailing, and a great way to learn while visiting. We definitely recommend choosing this experience as it was perfectly structured and we suggest to ask for our guide
BEST TOUR and GUIDE EVER!!! Just book it and thank me later!! My wife and I were in Florence for our honeymoon and we've been travelling all around the Italian country. We booked this tour with Irene to discover and learn about the Uffizi Gallery, not realizing it would be the one of the coolest experiences of our entire trip. She is a Florence local and an art historian so she was up for fielding my million random questions along the way. My only regret is that we didn't do more tours with her! If you can, book the Accademia Gallery as well and surely you won't regret it!!!
Unforgettable experience at the Uffizi gallery with Cristiano! He's very prepared and had so much kowledge about everything related with the Uffizi Gallery and the history in Florence, we had a lot of fun!
_We loved this experience with Rubina. The Uffizi can be overwhelming , but we could see the major pieces, receive the explanations of all background and still get out in one piece :-). My 2 teenagers were with us and they liked it as well. Also best idea to skip the lines and start early! You cannot imagine how long the lines can get. Recommend._
My best experience in Florence. Rubina our guide is a local, an expert art historian and delightful. I was not sure I wanted to visit the Uffizi Gallery but I am so glad that I plunged in. I would never do it without a guide first time! Thanks guys
Amazing tour at the Uffizi gallery with Claudia ! A lot of details and so much knowledge from her! Small group only 6 people, skipped the line quickly, we loved it !
Our visit to the Uffizi gallery was amazing, we had a very small group since we were ourselves and just another couple! Our guide Rubina was amazing! We'd really suggest to next visitor to take this tour as it starts early, but we could enjoy the museums properly, aroudn 10am it was already too crowded!
Our guide Irene was really knowledgable about all the Uffizi museum! It was our first time and it couldn't be better! We really learned a lot and we'd recommend it to everyone! We skipped the lien easily and our guide was a true local!
The primavera by Boticelli is an incredible masterpiece, only this makes the experience worth it! If you add an incredible guide such as Irene, who's a local and knows literally everyhting about what's housed in the Uffizi, it turns to the be the best experience that I've ever had! Do not doubt it, just book this and you won't regret it!
I highly recommend this tour with Irene. She is so personable and has so much knowledge to share about the Gallery and the masterpieces. We thorough enjoyed all of the history and insight she gave us, being a local she had so many anecdotes that really changed our stay in Florence! Ticket and skip the line were included, really worth it
Wonderful experience at the Uffizi Gallery! Our guide Cristiano was passionate and informative, definitely a local as he's florentine by heart! We learned so much about the most important masterpieces and would have missed it all without his thoughtful explanations and storytelling! He knows everything about the history of the renaissance and the Medici's family! We were able to skip the line easily, it was really worth it! Highly recommended!!
Christiano did a wonderful job telling a story behind how art progressed from mid ages into Renaissance. His tour highlighted some beautiful but undervalued pieces in the museum. He’s extremely knowledgeable about history in Florence. I highly recommend this tour.
This is the way to experience the Uffizi Gallery. You will be charmed by the exquisite tour and the guide's knowledge and the journey they take you on in each exhibit. We highly recommend this tour that was over before we wanted it to be. We received such a detailed background on the history of the Medici, Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci amongst many others artists of the time. Book it and enjoy the Uffizi!
Great day at the Uffizi with Irene! Nice explanations and easy to get along with, she was very helpful with all our requests about the artworks and regard florence as well! We couldn't ask more! so recommended!
The uffizi is a crowded museum filled with artwork that can be intimidating for a non Italian speaker. With a guide like Sandra you have a way to find the most important artwork and make the most of your time there. She also points you towards other artwork you can enjoy if your time is less limited. She is able to explain the history and technology and personalities that lead to the art you see.
We had such a great experience with Claudia! We had two full hour at the Uffizi museum in a very small and intimate group as we were just 6 people! We were able to make questions and have a proper conversation about each opera that we have seen! The Tondo doni is a unique masterpiece, the details of la primavera left us speechless ! We really suggest this experience, we received clear and detail informations since the begin and after! Thanks
Absolutely brilliant tour. Cristiano was a fantastic guide, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. Brought the art to life. Would highly recommend.
Amazed with the tour guide, how inspiring and motivational was the tour with him! Couldn’t chose a best way to know the museum! Firenze was our 10/10 stop in our Rome tour
