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!

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.

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.

Expert guide available in English, Spanish, French, German or Italian (as per option selected)

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.

To get an insight into the heart of the Renaissance and see historic rooms. We had a wonderful guided tour of the Uffizi. Our guide Anna was eloquent and she is a magical museum guide. I'm not really an art lover and don't know my way around very well, but she made our tour so interesting that I lost track of time. The time we spent there flew by. Her passion for art and museums was infectious. She was able to convey her expertise brilliantly and with great passion. A very pleasant atmosphere in the gallery. Although we had to wait a little for admission, she bridged the time wonderfully with exciting information and background stories and paid attention to everyone and took us wonderfully into the time of history. Thank you very much Anna❤️ H. Dincel

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!

I liked the fact that the meeting point was not directly at the Uffizi and was easy to find. Sibilla then started by telling us about the fascinating history of the surrounding buildings and the building itself. In the Uffizi, she made a selection of paintings, which she explained to us. And after the tour, we theoretically still had time to see the rest of the exhibition. But for me it was a complete experience and I left satisfied. I can highly recommend this tour and Sibilla, who gives the tour in English.

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