Great tour. English was perfect. His knowledge of the art was impressive . Really helped us appreciate the small details. Best guide of our five daynsaty
Leonardo is knowledgable, experienced and engaging. His depth of knowledge about Florentine culture and history is impressive.
This tour is definitely worth the money. Our guide was fantastic and was very knowledgeable and engaging. She navigated the museum like a pro, which she was of course, and made sure everything went smoothly. Her knowledge of art and the museum was immediately evident nd everything was interesting and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour, and our guide whose name I can't recall but hopefully the company can help, as the personal attention and convenience of a private guide made this an exceptional experience.
Stefania was knowledgeable, engaging, and kind. She customized the tour as we went and we had a great experience.
<p>Martina was wonderful and very knowledgeable and pleasant. I would recommend this tour to anyone however, the term skip the line does not assure that you will skip the line, if it is a busy day. We waited over an hour to get in and that was included as part of the 3 hours. Even though the tour was therefore shortened, it was still great</p>
Bianca was very knowledgable and a great tour guide. She made the tour of the Uffizi interesting to our entire group from age 8 thru age 70. She went above and beyond, Thank you!
<p>This was a fantastic tour. I ended up being the only one in the group but they didn't cancel it, so I had a private tour. My guide was the best. She was extremely knowledgeable and took her time to explain everything to me and answer all my questions. We were able to make it through almost every room in the entire museum and I learned so much. Thank you for a great experience. I highly recommend this tour - you won't regret it!</p>
<p>Brilliant, enthusiastic and engaging guide who really made everything come to life and made our trip the Florence special. It turned out we were the only two on that particular tour so it felt very personal. Definitely worth skipping the queue.</p>
