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.

I loved the skip-the-line entry! The Tour Guide was relaxed and extremely knowledgable. Sure it's packed as much of Europe is I am told- post pandemic- I knew that as an older woman first time traveller out of Australia. However, the Guide still managed to ensure we in her group, were kept closeby her and given fantastic information about many of the aspects of the Uffizi Gallery and shown and told what lives inside in its current exhibitions. Well layed out and great tech gear ensured we could hear our guide over all the other guides and unguided tourists. Well done Uffizi!

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.

Absolutely fantastic Uffizi experience! We had an amazing time on our guided tour of the Uffizi, and our guide Bruce made it truly unforgettable. We met him outside the gallery, where we were given headphones so we could easily hear him as we walked through the museum. We skipped the lines and felt like VIPs the entire time. Bruce was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely funny. He brought the artwork to life with fascinating stories and insights about the different paintings and artists-so many things we never would have noticed on our own! The 90-minute tour was the perfect length, and afterward we were able to wander around the gallery at our own pace. Highly, highly recommend this tour. If you’re lucky enough to get Bruce, you’re in for a treat. Five stars-you won’t regret it!

I had excellent service from the guide we were assigned to go to the Uffizi Gallery, really Meryxell was a great guide who made us even more interested in everything about Florence. Unfortunately, the next day for the Accademia visit, when we arrived at Green Tours we were joined with other tours because it was just my wife and I, and the guide didn't really explain anything and just took us quickly to see the David, it could have been a much better experience!

Anna Maria, an art historian, guided us with passion, expertise and sympathy on a two-hour tour inside the Uffizi. From her every word, the love she has for this incredible place clearly emerged, involving us in a truly emotional experience. More than once I found myself open-mouthed in learning how much history and technique was behind each work of art. Thank you!
