Its a very extensive gallery, it is overwhelming to try to see it all and appreciate it all. Definitely a trip that requires multiple visits if you wanna make sure to appreciate all that it has to offer. The guided tour was an awesome introduction to the space and its highlights. It made a busy day not as overwhelming and very informative. I would love to come back again and do another tour focusing on different aspects of the collection.

It was an amazing tour! From the meeting point we were looked after and assisted well. But the best part of the tour is our guide OLGA whi was not only very informative but also wlvery witty and funny with her comments. I also like the fact that she showed images of historical figures in her iPad so we can appreciate the person she is talking anout and how they connect with the paintings history. We would definitely recommend her tour!

The evening before we were asked if we would be willing to come early due to the illness of a guide. We agreed and were thrilled. It was a wonderful tour that refreshed our knowledge and taught us new things. We stayed in the Uffizi for almost three more hours with our eyes wide open. Great, any time again. The very nice and incredibly knowledgeable guide was wonderful.

Skip the long ticket queues and step straight into the Uffizi Gallery to see art that emerged amidst political upheaval and papal patronage from the 14th to 16th centuries.

Gain vivid, in‑depth insights from a certified guide who links each masterpiece to the cultural shifts of Renaissance Florence, all in your language, so no nuance is missed.

Stand before Botticelli’s ethereal The Birth of Venus and Primavera and feel the drama in Caravaggio’s Medusa, alongside lesser‑known gems that shaped the course of Western art.

Choose a small‑group upgrade for a more intimate experience with 9 or fewer guests. Enjoy personalized attention and the freedom to ask questions as you uncover hidden gems of art history.

Great tour. Manoel was super nice. We wish it were a bit longer, as we wanted to view the rest of the museum with our guide.

Myself and my friend had a great tour of Academia. It was concentrated on the history of Michelangelo given it was only an hour duration but we enjoyed that and understanding this amazing artist in more detail and centring around the build of David. I recall it was Vera who was our guide in English. She was very good and could be clearly understood. Still left us the opportunity to explore the valley further after the tour.
