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!

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!

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.

Our guide did an excellent job of explaining the artworks that we were seeing. She was extremely knowledgeable. However, the electronics that your company has failed to work half way through the tour. Thankfully we were a small group so she was able to continue the tour. She spent extra time of her own to make up for the equipment failure. Your company should look into "Whiper" listening devices.

Anna was simply magical. Everything went smoothly and Anna really immersed us in history. Various pictures were analyzed and the development from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance to the Baroque was shown. Thank you Anna, gladly again!

We only did the academia part of this tour because our original "academia only" tour was moved to another date and time because the group was too small. This threw a little wrench in our plans. So that's the frustrating part but the guide was nice. The academia tour was very short maybe 30 minutes?

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

Meet your guide near the main entrance, where your ticket is validated and headsets are distributed. After a brief introduction, follow your guide through a dedicated fast-track entrance to begin your gallery journey.
