Wonderful experience with our guide, Ivano. He was so very knowledgeable of not only the history of the building but also the artwork inside. Top notch experience.

A very nice guided tour of some of the highlights of the Uffizi. Our guide Anastasia was great and very friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed it a lot!
Ívano, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable, engaging, and pleasant! The museum it’s impressive !!
I can totally recommend this tour. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the exhibits.
A fantastic tour with a very knowledgeable guide. It was a very interesting tour and I can recommend it. It is really worthwhile.
Gianna was excellent guide, we learned a lot and she spent over and above time allotted to give us a wonderful experience. She is a wonderful guide and we would love to see her again.
We did the tour with Anastasia Kharitonenko who was absolutely fantastic. Anastasia is an art historian who is shortly to commence her PhD on the Italian renaissance, so her knowledge is excellent. Anastasia didn’t just talk about the art we viewed, but gave us so much more background around the artist and the contemporary context, which allowed us to see things from a different perspective. The tour was well worth it and we would recommend both the company, and in particular, Anastasia as ‘the go to’ for this tour.
Great experience and two hours just broke the surface of the amazing connection. The gallery is very busy, but our guide was able to navigate us to the areas we were most interested in seeing.
Francesca Messina was a brilliant guide that brought an impressive museum to life. With her wealth of knowledge and very personable nature, she gave our experience at the Uffizi a depth that we could not have achieved any other way. In two hours, we managed to see much of the museum, but at no time did we feel rushed - indeed, Francesca made us feel like visiting members of her family that she was taking out to see the city. It was easy to see that, for her, history is a passion and the focus of her studies. Fantastic!
Our guide through Uffizi Galleries today was Gianna, and we cannot say enough about the experience. She is a wealth of information, bringing so many of the paintings to life, with deeper meanings from history, religion, biography, culture and mythology. Best of all, her enthusiasm for the subjects causes you to share her wonder and awe at the brilliance of the artists. What a terrific experience!
The clear instructions provided made it simple to find our guide near the entrance to the museum, and we were able to enter right away without waiting in line. Our guide Marta was so knowledgeable and helped us maximize our time in the museum. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend it.
Gianna knows everything and more! I was a little bit scared of the crowd, also because I was with 7 month old bay, but Gianna managed to make us feel like we were the only ones. Go for it
Gianna was waiting for us exactly as described with a smile and escorted us through security while beginning to describe the origin of the buildings. Her knowledge was that of a master class in all thing within Florence. She provided the most detailed information we've ever experienced! Hearing that we had just arrived from Rome, she helped us understand how many of the artists were inspired by the works of the Uffizi. It is impossible to see everything in one visit and we will return to the Uffizi and request Gianna to continue teaching us about the great works of art. In short, she is the best guide we've ever had! Ask for her.
We did the tour with Raffi. I have done a lot of tours in my time and she was one of the best guides I have had. Super knowledgeable, engaging, focused and funny. I enjoy art but she really brought my appreciation to a new level. I highly recommend this tour.
This group has the most warm, interesting, and friendly guides. I highly recommend a guided tour of the Uffizi gallery. It will help you glean more information, back stories, and appreciation of the amazing collection. Special thank you to Guido! He is very thorough and clearly loves talking about art, Italy, and history with his guests.
We really enjoyed our tour of the Uffizi with Cristiano. It was supposed to be a small group tour, but we ended up being the only ones. Cristiano was very knowledgeable and did a great job of hitting the most significant pieces and explaining their significance. I wish that a much longer tour were offered--there's so much to see in the Uffizi! Highly recommend a tour when you are short on time though.
Our tour guide Laura was excellent. She was very patient with our family and got us around the crowds to see the major works. She was very informative and shared some of her favorites as well!
Chris was an outstanding and patient guide, keeping us interested and informed! He was flexible with our time and interests to make our visit memorable!
Excellent tour of Uffizi. Our guide, Riccardo, was great. Very knowledgeable and interesting. Highly recommend having guide - it can be overwhelming at the gallery.
Ricardo was excellent! Very knowledgeable and full of fun interesting details. This truly is the only way to see the Uffizi.
Our tour guide, Fabrizio, was extremely knowledgeable and filled our 2-hour plus art history tour of the Uffizi with many interesting and memorable details of the stories behind the paintings themselves.
Excellent tour - a little expensive but well worth the price, both to skip the queues (mostly - still have to queue for security check!) and to really get so much more from the art. Our guide had excellent English, was very knowledgeable and passionate about art and friendly.
We were fortunate to have Alessandra as our guide on this tour and I cannot imagine a better experience. The Ufizzi is amazing, but without someone knowledgeable to add some context and history it can be more than an overwhelming experience. Alessandra is more than just knowledgeable, she's engaging, and she made our tour exceptional. Our 3 hours with her went by so fast we were trying to convince her to stay just a little bit longer. Even our 2 teenage daughters enjoyed it, and that's saying a lot. I'd go back anytime for another tour with Alessandra.
Martina was just fantastic in explaining the development of art through the Middle Ages and beyond and including the differences in the style of many of the great names. Also lots of the history of the Medicis. It was all extremely interesting and far more engaging then I had expected. Highly recommend. 6 out of 5 stars!
Amazing tour today with Ricardo. I’m not an art fan but we felt we had to see the Uffizi while in Florence. Brilliant !! We were guided through the rooms easily and taken to the major pieces, as well as shown pieces which added to the story of the history of Florentine art. It brought to life the “science” of the Renaissance as well as the history of Florence itself. I would absolutely recommend this tour even if you’re not a particular fan of art!! You will learn so much. Thank you.
Yesterday my friend and I enjoyed the Uffizi Guided tour with Leonardo! Awesome guide. We moved through the crowded gallery with ease with Leonardo at the helm. His knowledge of the art work was impressive.
I highly recommend this tour! Our tour guide was Leonardo and he was excellent! An above and beyond great experience. We didn't have to wait in any long lines. He gave us fantastic information on Florence, the gallery, the artwork, and so much more. What a great guide. You can't go wrong!
Our guide Fabrizio has been impeccable from the beginning dealing with both the tickets and the instructions to access the Gallery. Punctual and careful. During the tour he was able to captivate us with details about the Gallery itself that the works of the Florentine masters. We strongly recommend this private tour.
Exceptional experience, our guide Francesca was very good, helpful and courteous, highly recommended!
Exciting visit. We are no more interested than that in painting. I wanted to experience a guided tour. The guide was a true Florentine speaking perfect French and expressing herself passionately about the works and her city. The two hours passed like a minute.
What about... As we arrived at entrance 1 of the Uffizi we found him, Cristiano, who welcomed us with kindness and courtesy. Talking to him we found out that he is a scholar of history and art. The right mix for this visit to the Uffizi. Cristiano explained everything in detail, leaving nothing out of the colors to perspective, from sacred to profane. My wife and I were fascinated by his expertise. We recommend Cristiano as a guide for the Uffizi Gallery. The best!!!!!
My husband and I booked the tour on September 18th and although we arrived 15 minutes in advance the guide - Riccardo- was already waiting for us. We did not have to wait anything to access the Gallery and also the tour turned out to be private, -I imagine this was an exceptional situation- that is, we had a guide only for the two of us, but despite this the visit lasted two hours in which we had time to explain carefully and with much knowledge, all the important works that are not few. It was so good that we couldn't believe it, we'd heard it was so hard that we were mentalized into waiting long lines.
With the help of Keys of Florence we were able to develop the visit to the Galleries in time and form minimizing the Waiting time to enter, and carrying out the tour with a guide who provided very good knowledge of the art exhibited.
Our guide, Ricardo, delighted us with his knowledge of art, pointing out different aspects of the paintings and styles, taking us to the most emblematic of the gallery. It was really worth getting a guide and going early to avoid queues and people. It worked with radio sets, excellent English, very nice.
