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.

The tour was very well organized, skip the line entry with very little waiting time. Pam was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable with a lot of interesting tidbits of information that held our attention the entire time. The guided tour was very well structured to give us the opportunity to see and hear about the most notable artworks within the time available for the guided tour. Of course, we stayed for several hours after that to take in as much as possible. Uffizi gallery is certainly a must-see in Florence. Overall great experience and well worth the visit!

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.

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!
