As a Florentine architect now living abroad, I truly appreciated Laura’s deep knowledge and her way of sharing important historical details. It was wonderful for our daughter to rediscover Florence through her guidance, and for her fiancé — visiting Italy for the first time and a true history enthusiast — to have Laura leading us with perfect English and engaging storytelling. Highly recommended!
Guide was excellent. Meet us at our hotel and provided information on way to corridor. Very knowledgable in museum as well
Our tour guide, Francesco, was PHENOMENAL: knowledgeable, easy to understand, and very accommodating. Uffizi and Vasari corridor were so wonderful to experience and learn about. My only reason for not giving more stars is the price. I almost feel like it was an error, as I have no idea why this tour was so expensive. Like astronomical.
Hello Nicole, Thank you so much for your review! I’m truly glad to hear that you enjoyed the experience and that Francesco made such a positive impression — he’s indeed one of our very best guides. Regarding the price, I understand your concern. Please know that the cost of this tour reflects both the exceptional quality of the guide, as you kindly acknowledged, and the exclusive access to the Vasari Corridor, which is a very special and limited opportunity. The tickets for this unique experience come at a significantly higher cost compared to standard museum entrances. We believe that quality and exclusivity are worth the investment, but of course, we always want our guests to feel the experience matches the value. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again for another unforgettable visit! Warm regards, Elena
We had a fantastic private tour with our knowledgeable and engaging guide, who shaped the tour to meet what she quickly learned about our interests and knowledge base. She even built in a coffee & wine break on the outdoor terrace (rest for feet that had climbed many towers and domes!). Her command of art history was impressive; she used the development of perspective and realism as an organizing story line as she took us expertly from masterpiece to masterpiece. Highest recommendation!
