We were lucky enough to visit the Uffizi accompanied by a truly extraordinary guide, Elisa. Her expertise, passion and ability to convey her love for art made the experience unique and unforgettable. Each work was not only explained, but narrated with enthusiasm and clarity, connecting history, context and hidden details that we would never have noticed on our own. The guide managed to engage everyone, always keeping our attention and adapting to our curiosity and questions with professionalism and kindness. Thanks to her, the Uffizi was not just a museum, but a true journey through time and beauty. Thank you!

Our guide was superb. I am not a great art lover, but she made our tour of Florence's Uffizi Gallery come alive. The time we spent there flew by. Born in Florence, she had a real passion for her subject and was able to communicate that to our group. She made it seem like it was the first time she had done it when she's probably done it hundreds of times. I used to have to do it myself so I can appreciate a wonderfully professional performance. I would highly recommend the VIP small group guided tour of the Uffizi - money well-spent. I would love to mention her by name - I think it was Ilana (???) but we did the tour at 0900 on Friday September 19

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.

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.

Skip-the-line entry

Expert guide available in English, Spanish, French, German or Italian (as per option selected)

The guide's enthusiasm. Even though it was difficult to hear and understand the English pronounciation of the guide, she was lovely and very enthusiasic. The main issue with the tour was the audio; the audio system and the ambient noise that came in through the ear without speaker made the tour barely a three star experience. I would not recommend it to a friend.

Our guide, unfortunately I didn't remember her name, was sensational. She gave us a passionate introduction to the history, painting and sculpture of the Uffizi. Since then, we have been looking at pictures and paintings with different eyes.

Very organised and pleasant tour guide who was ready at the appointed meeting point, had good clear voice and good English. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Group small enough - 9 - for easy manoeuvring through Uffizi which was very busy. No time pressures, considerate of one disabled group member. Very good.

Step past the queues and straight into the Renaissance, exploring the Uffizi’s masterpieces on a captivating 1.5–2 hour guided tour.

Getting started
