Vasari Corridor And Uffizi Gallery Exclusive Tour

My husband has been waiting to go through this corridor for over a decade, while 'repairs' were made. Even though we were independent travellers, they bunch you with others to make a group of roughly 15. We were escorted through this with 2 staff members. They did not talk and were only there to usher you along. To say the corridor was a HUGE DISSAPOINTMENT is putting it mildly. It could have been any corridor in any new building in the world. Apart from one section that had pillars and marble busts on them, there were no pictures, no art just plain walls. The walls had been plaster boarder and were just empty. Even the secret window into the chapel lacked the pizazz that it should have done. The glass seemed to distorted the view and it just all seemed to have been ruined. We were escorted along this drab corridor and if you fell behind to take photos, you were told to hurry up and keep up with the front. Eventually this corridor leads to the garden and the woman 'guide' who was at the back, hid behind the door pillar, very rudely huffed and puffed because I dared take a photo when I had 5 more minutes on our allotted time. The corridor lacks art, colour, reverence, and atmosphere. I certainly would not recommend this. Any corridor in any city building would be better. In fact the staff were using it as a short cut across the city to get their lunch!!!!!!

Walking through Vasari's corridoio it's been a great experience for me and my friends. The art and the story behind that is regardless, such as our guide who allows us to get more close with the Renaissance charm which this corridoio embrace. Made of Tuscany well done, won't be our last tour with you.

THE gallery to start your visit and set the bar. Absolutely stunning artwork, displays, and layout. Go in with the room number/items you’d like to see highlighted so you don’t miss key holdings. The rest are icing on the cake! The Annunciation, Procession of Magi, Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, tons of Michelangelo’s & Caravaggio’s. Then proceed to the Medici’s private Vasari corridor which is also a must-see locale. (Get tickets months prior so as to not be disappointed!) Pure heaven of a gallery visit!

We also found the corridor a rip off. It may be a place of historic significance but was just a corridor above the Ponte Vecchio which links the Ufizzi to the Pitti Palace - no frescos or art of f any significance. READ THE FINE PRINT - once you go through the corridor, you can’t come back!!! We didn’t realize this, arrived too late to the museum and couldn’t return. One way of getting around this is getting an audio guide which you must return or give up stuff in the cloakroom.

It was an amazing tour. The corridor is worth seeing and to combine it with Uffizi was incredible. Ingrid our tour guide was so informative and knowledgeable.

Our guide was friendly and gave us so much information about Italian art and history in an interesting and understandable manner.

Do not buy a ticket the Vasari Corridor - it is a 20 minutes walk to see white empty walls, basically more then 1 euro per minute! Absolutely insane! Rather go twice in the Uffizi Gallery or Palazzo Pitti. Much more to see for the same amount of money!

Definite five star experience on a private tour with Giacomo! He distilled the key points of the Ufizzi and Vasari corridor into something fun, interesting, and very manageable. Would love to take other tours with him!

Excellent experience. Our guide, Susana, was very professional and knowledgeable. She made our visit much more enjoyable than it would have been on our own.

This was a rip off. A slow walk through plain unadorned corridors. There were some nice views of the Arno and a window into a church. There were no statues or anything in the corridor itself. For €20, it wasn't worth the time or money.

Laughably bad. All the paintings have been removed. It’s a bare corridor with views - that’s it. Very expensive and disappointing

It was wonderful to have the premier treatment as we sailed through all the highlights of the Uffizi Gallery. Susanna was very knowledgeable and friendly. She has been doing this for 20 years, and it is apparent that she enjoys it. I would definitely recommend her if you are in a hurry and want to beat the lines. Suzanna knows how to navigate the lines and crowds. The Vasari Corridor was also a great experience, and provided unique views of old Florence that I have never experienced before. Wonderful and worth every dollar.

Excellent private guided tour of the Uffizi and the Corridoio Vasari. The guide was Ingrid, a delightful and extremely knowledgeable art historian, originally from Salzburg. She speaks fluent English and Italian and was a mine of fascinating details, the sort you can’t get from any guide book. I wish there had been more time! Highly recommended

We were in the corridor for less than the already tight 35 minutes scheduled. Our group's guide was not up to par; they simply directed people to walk through the corridor quickly, without giving all the participants enough time to admire the glimpses and views. Disappointing.

Do not pay a surcharge to visit the Vasari corridor. There is nothing special to see except that the corridor has been renovated... white walls with no paintings. A small section of the corridor contains small busts. Our guide took us through at a brisk pace. Duration of this very short visit? I would say about 10 to 15 minutes.
