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

Our guide, Monica , made the tour perfect. She is knowledgeable , motivated, professional and also nice. Also, we were all lucky because there were not so many people and we were able to admire paintings and statues up close. However, the headphones given at the beginning of the tour were useful as this way we could get away from the guide so that we could look at the works as we liked but still continue to hear her explanations. At the end of the 2-hour tour you can stay alone in the Uffizi and continue to visit the other rooms independently . I recommend this tour.

I loved the skip-the-line entry! The Tour Guide was relaxed and extremely knowledgable. Sure it's packed as much of Europe is I am told- post pandemic- I knew that as an older woman first time traveller out of Australia. However, the Guide still managed to ensure we in her group, were kept closeby her and given fantastic information about many of the aspects of the Uffizi Gallery and shown and told what lives inside in its current exhibitions. Well layed out and great tech gear ensured we could hear our guide over all the other guides and unguided tourists. Well done Uffizi!

I had excellent service from the guide we were assigned to go to the Uffizi Gallery, really Meryxell was a great guide who made us even more interested in everything about Florence. Unfortunately, the next day for the Accademia visit, when we arrived at Green Tours we were joined with other tours because it was just my wife and I, and the guide didn't really explain anything and just took us quickly to see the David, it could have been a much better experience!

Informative tour guide, who also gave us the history of the other notable buildings on the way to the Uffizi (e.g. Palazzo Vecchio, Medici, Riccardi Palace). Tour inside the gallery was really good, helped me appreciate the paintings in there and the progression from earlier art to Renaissance-style art.

Of course the life changing artwork, the beauty of the museum- but what really enhanced my experiende was seeing the artwork with the guide- he was able to expain and point out meanings of the paintings I would never have seen myself. Thank you so much for this deep and enriching day

It was a very good tour, Anna gave us a knowledgeable and very clear tour of the most amazing works of the Renaissance, and she had a very friendly and approachable manner! For us, the tour of the Ufficien was therefore an enriching experience that we wouldn't want to have missed!

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