Isabella is an experienced and knowledgeable guide; with her sympathy and narrative capacity, she was able to illustrate to us the wonders of the Uffizi, from the exterior to the main works of art preserved in the countless rooms. It was very engaging and interesting: an artistic/historical/cultural tour that "transports" the visitor to Renaissance Florence. The Headout organization was excellent, coping with the huge volume of visitors over the Christmas period through precise directions and attentive staff.

We really enjoyed our two hour tour at the Uffizi. We saw amazing works of art and our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about not only the artist and artworks, but shared so many fun facts about history and background. We were able to skip the line and the tour was at a great pace. We were not rushed. Our tour guide even brought us into a a room to show us a specific painting that I requested to see. Overall, it was an excellent tour and I recommend it.
