the tour seemed fairly random, tour guide cherry picked pieces he deemed relevant while missing others, we only covered the top floor and were left to wander the other floors by ourselves

Itinerary
The Uffizi Gallery is one of the main attractions when visiting Florence. Built in 1560 and known as the world's oldest museum, it was designed by the famous Renaissance architect Giorgio Vasari. The grand duke of Tuscany, Cosimo I de Medici, decided to re-establish the authority of the Medici family. You can save your time with the guide to see the most important highlights inside the Uffizi Gallery. Usually, if you want to see everything inside the museum, you need more than 24 hours to go through because it's such a huge gallery with more than 100 rooms and more than 5000 masterpieces. This museum is the 2nd biggest in Europe. See masterpieces by Botticelli, Michelangelo, and Raphael, among works of art spanning more than 15 centuries. Enjoy your precious time in the beautiful and amazing gallery with a skip-the-line guided tour with a live licensed tour guide. After the tour, you can stay and enjoy yourself. There's also a rooftop cafeteria where you can relax and enjoy the view.

Lines were very long (45 minutes)… even with the “skip the line”. After the wait, our guide seemed rushed and it was crowded inside. The guided portion was supposed to be 1 hour and 30 minutes, but was much closer to an hour. We walked around for another hour after guided moved on. The place is good, just a middling experience that day.
Very informative. Nicely done. Anna was very informative and a great guide. Small group tour is definitely beneficial.
Beautiful gallery but our guide was a bit hard to understand. I think we probably could have just done this on our own. Not sure I would do it again unless the guide had better English. Was hard to understand him.
We got to see the development from medieval art to renaissance art and got to see works by masters including Michaelanglo, Da Vinci, Bottoliceli and Raphael. The guide was knowledgeable and engaging.
Great tour with all the important highlights. Olga was our guide & she was SO knowledgeable and personable and I can tell that she really likes her job. Ask for her when you book it!
We had a great tour through Uffizi with Patrizia on a busy day, she gave a lot of time to explaining the major pieces and giving us a private experience. It was great to skip the public line. We were able to get great recommendations to explore the rest of the gallery after our tour with Patrizia, I would recommend this to all people visiting Uffizi :)
Our guide was difficult to follow as she provided an endless emotionless rendition of facts, jumping from one thought to another, on the same painting or statue, with little focus on what point she was trying to make. There were few pauses in what was a barrage of rapid fire rote. It was not worth the cost or time lost that we spent with her. On a positive note, the Uffizi is worth a visit.
Wonderful tour led by Gayla who was both informative and fun. She knew the facts but also interspersed with interesting anecdotes. She was able to deftly move us quickly through the highlights and navigate past the huge crowds. It was a small group which was perfect! I highly recommend.
The tour guide isabella was very good and very passionate about her work. we had fast track entry and we had the best tour of uffizi. Recomended.
Our guide Katarina was fabulous. An absolute encyclopedia! Loved the experience. She is also extremely helpful and kind. Even though it took her a lot more time to go all the way around just for us, she made sure we were able to use the elevator since one in our family has mobility issues. Thank you Katarina
Bruce was an outstanding tour guide. We were lucky to have him take us through the Uffizi and share his knowledge and insights. He also recommended a great gelato place, which we enjoyed later that day.
Booked it , loved it . Our tickets were ready on arrival , got into the museum straight which saved us loads of time for other activities . Glad booked it through fast access tour skip the line Our guid rubina was very knowledgeable Highly recommended
Definetely recommended to take, easy and fast access to museum, skipping the long que. experienced guide, good organi
I took the tour with Bruce, a man who took us not only through the history of the art pieces but also the gallery. Excellent and highly recommended, the professionalism of everyone, respecting schedules and the number of people was correct.
Our guide Francesca was excellent. Her interactive way of conducting the tour kept us all interested till the end. Learnt a lot.
Ver la Galería Ufizzi de esta manera es aprovechar el tiempo y disfrutar de las obras si en principio no eres un entendido. El guía sabía bien lo que hacía y nos explicaba detenidamente las obras seleccionadas por el . Muy recomendable.
