Mary was lovely and incredibly knowledgeable! The Uffizi Gallery can be overwhelming with the amount of works so having a guide move us from room to room explaining the significant pieces was wonderful!

Katerina, our tour guide was fabulous. She was very friendly, informed, and very knowledgeable about the art pieces. Highly recommend this private tour especially if it's you first time visiting the gallery.
Very informative and organized, the guide was funny too! Worth the value and would try another tour actually.
She was professional, funny, knowledgeable, and patient. We had the best time with her as our tour guide.
Fantastic tour! Francesca was incredibly knowledgeable about the art. We got way more out of the tour than we expected and than we would have if we went unguided. We’ll worth it!
Crowded and rushed. Too crowded to actually spend time viewing each piece. Overpriced for the experience provided.
Meeting up with our guide did not go so well, and I don't understand why. We were there before the time, but the email he sent to clarify where was sent 1-2 hours before and I wasn't looking at email then. We finally met up, but then he said wait here... another guide came and told us we were with her now. Really don't understand that. The new guide was good, maybe spent a little long at each picture but was very knowledgeable.
Tickets were NOT included in the price, they asked for cash when we got there. Audio transmitters didn't work well. Our guide was great though, so that's why I couldn't just give 1 star.
Rosa was a great tour guide! She was personable and interesting and kept us engaged during the tour!
Elvis is a fantastic guide that walked us through the Uffizi guiding us through the Renaissance arts inception and emergence, it's peak, and ultimate decline. He ties the different paintings and stories together creating a super experience for any art & history lovers.
The skip the line was a must. The ease of finding the group and moving in a small group was great, the skip the line fee does not include tickets which is a little misleading and really drives up the cost...
Victtoria led us on an exciting, informative and engaging tour exploring some of the most renowned works. The pace was not rushed. She was thoughtful and provided details not widely known, tying the pieces and artist together with political and art history. She was great and the tour was a fantastic value!
They delivered what they promised. Polite staff, knowledgeable guide, well organized tour. Thank you.
Great service and informative. Tickets are not included, just to be aware when booking. But small private tour with headphones
The time WITH Elvis went by very quickly as his presentation of the Medici family and great works of the museum was so interesting and thoughtfully put toghether.
This was incredibile. Elvis is an excellent guide and a must do in Florence! Don't waist time in lines and take this tour!
Great experience with Elvis, who explained everything really well and had some very interesting facts about the paintings in the gallery, especially the uffizi 👌🏻
Definitely the best tour guide we experienced throughout our stay in Italy. We fell in love with Italy because of the gorgeous country, food, and culture. We fell in love with Florence because of the people. Elvis was a true highlight during our stay, his passion of art history and Michael Angelo plus his storytelling at one point had me so touched i left Florence with a deeper understanding and passion for the artists and cannot wait to come back.
We had a great tour with Elvis! The gallery is huge and a bit overwhelming to do on your own, so it was great to have him guide us through and highlight the most important/notable pieces there. He had great stories and interesting facts, and I learned much more on this tour with him than I would have otherwise. Plus, he gave us all headsets that he spoke into so that we didn’t have to crowd around him each time to hear what he was saying, which was nice! I definitely recommend doing a tour with him.
No surprise if you’ve read many of Elvis’s great reviews, he deserves them all. Elvis is an amazing and knowledgeable storyteller who brings to life and makes accessible important works from long ago. Our family received a lot of wonderful information, with a bunch of laughs along the wa
Elvis was an awesome guide — he was knowledgeable, personable and spoke great English. the tour was well paced, and had the right amount of history and detail
Elvis the tour-lead was simply fantastic! He was a magician with the process and went out of his way to help us out. Easter wkend in Florence was jam-packed, but he worked with another tour company also to be able to get us to see Academia Galleria and Uffizi on the same wkend. It was well worth the money since we were able to get into the museum ahead of the extremely long lines. Also, we needed an extra ticket last minute, Elvis was able to procure that also somehow and even met us for the hand off to next museum. I would give him 10+ for this experience! The tour guide at Uffizi was good, very knowledgeable, but I felt she went into too much of the history of each painting especially at the beginning than was warranted. Given the time constraint of 2 hours, I wish she had been able to spread her time a little more across all the rooms. There is a LOT to see in this museum, so ensure that you eat well, and plan to spend a solid few hours.
“We had a great experience Elvis. He was very intuitive and knowledgeable. I thought I knew some of the history, but Elvis explanations of stories opened my mind up to information I never knew. We learned a lot from his expertise. He articulated everything in a very fun and interesting way. I would recommend this experience to anybody”
“This tour was great! I got an amazing art history lesson in the 90 minutes. This tour was just enough so that the museum was not overwhelming. Elvis was very knowledgeable and friendly.”
Amazing tour with Elvis! We’ve took this tour and received the best experience with a many interesting facts with a personal touch from Elvis I will remember. Highly recommended!
We enjoyed his ability l, Elvis was really good at explaining everything along the entire tour. I could spent the whole day on tour! wonderful experience!
You MUST do tours of the Uffizi and the Accademia with Elvis! WE learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed both! Elvis Made Florence's art come alive! Great tour! Very informative
Wow! Elvis Washington fantastic guide. The level of detail given the art history. I would recommend Him to esponenti visiting florence!
“Excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable, tells you stuff one may not know. Great style of storytelling. We loved it!” “We loved the tour! Thank you very much!”
❤️🔥Elvis is the best tour guide ever I had! I really appreciate his love for Florence and the history of the Medici family. His so sweet and a friendly friend, thanks for being our best tour guide ever!
“I cannot thank you enough for your excellent tour. I am now hooked on Florence and Renaissance art. I decided my favorite painting was Giotto's Ognissanti Madonna because he tried increasing perspective and making Madonna more like a real person
There is no better tour guide than elvis!! My museum experience was so much better because of what I learned from him. And the cost of the ticket was worth every penny to not wait in the line! Do not see this museum without Elvis!
Elvis is smart and knows his city! You can tell he loves art and has a passion for telling you the history. We really enjoyed our tour at the uffizi Gallery. Nice to meet other people in our group
“Just book it! Elvis was such a great tour guide we did 2 tours with him. His expert knowledge helped us understand the meaning behind the art. Without him there we wouldn’t even know where to start. Book it book it book it!”
Elvis is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST! I was here 2 years ago with my friends! We are from Texas, and found him on the Airbnb experiences! Elvis took us on 4 different tours! Now, I am back and called him for another 2 tours… a refresher tour! I 💙 his knowledge and his sweet personality! Now we are friends forever!
“My wife and I went on a tour with Elvis through the Uffizi and over to the Accademia Galleria to see David. Elvis is incredible! He worked with us to determine what we were interested in and then delivered the perfect tour. For us, that meant the highlights of the Uffizi, explaining the major pieces as well as how the styles developed over time, and then over to David with his superb narrative. Elvis is knowledgeable, professional and funny. 100% recommend.”
I knew I needed a tour guide to explore the best of Uffizi Gallery and it was the best choice to have it done with Elvis!
Vittoria è stata una guida molto attenta super preparata e divertente, gli Uffizi sono meravigliosi, ci ha fatto scoprire davvero tante cose
La guide nous a fait une sélection et nous n’avons vu que les chefs-d’œuvre du coup nous avons pu tout garder en mémoire. Il suffit de fermer les yeux pour les revoir encore et encore…..
We rehired Rocher’s visit after seeing the David and he didn’t disappoint here either, rating that he loves art and transmits it, he told us everything without haste, you learn to see inside each work, his curiosities, history, technique, etc. Essential to take advantage of the visit and that is not a simple walk between works of art.
Our guide was magnificent. Very attentive at all times and with a special enthusiasm when explaining all the works. The truth is that it is a very interesting way to discover a museum as extensive as the Uffizi gallery. We would take him to explain all Florence!!!!
One of the best in Florence. Well prepared. Very friendly and helpful. Eloquent and with a clear tone of voice. I highly recommend it because it will be an unforgettable experience. A true CICERO.
