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.

Very appealing and entertaining guided tour through the Uffizi Gallery. Within 2 hours we got a great insight into the history of art. Anna, our guide of the small group (8 people), took us into the world of the Mediccis in perfect German and with great passion. Highly recommended,

I realized that to visit the Galerie des Offices, it's so large and rich that it's essential to have a professional select a coherent itinerary beforehand. It's thanks to this that we were able to enjoy this richly illustrated guided tour.

This tour was unfortunately very disappointing and not as advertised. Although Headout marketed as a combo, the experience was run by two completely different operators, which made it feel disjointed and inconsistent. The Uffizi portion was handled by Crown Tours. While the guide arrived 20 minutes late and spent too much time speaking about themselves rather than the artworks, they had good English and a solid level of knowledge. Crown Tours also came across as more professional, with clear WhatsApp communication and a representative at the meeting point. The Accademia portion, operated by Slow Tour Tuscany, was extremely poorly managed. I was sent incorrect meeting point details and only found the group thanks to the help of another company’s staff. When I finally located them, they were about to leave, and I nearly missed my entry. The guide’s English was not fluent, their vocabulary was limited, and the commentary added little to the visit — everything they said was already posted on the walls. Overall, the tour was frustrating and disappointing. In hindsight, it would have been far better to purchase tickets directly from the museums and use the official audio guide, which is often free. Buying tickets online is straightforward: arrive at your allocated time and line up for security as everyone else does. The advertised “skip the line” benefit proved useless, as we had to wait anyway due to the guide’s lateness.

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
