Florence Uffizi Gallery Tour with Palazzo Vecchio Entry
Description
One Architect, Two Masterpieces, One Story: In 1560, Giorgio Vasari designed the Uffizi AND decorated Palazzo Vecchio for Duke Cosimo I de' Medici. This tour brings both masterpieces to life. Your Uffizi Experience: Meet your guide under the Leonardo da Vinci statue in the Uffizi courtyard, opposite Door #3. With skip-the-line access, journey through art history – from Giotto's revolutionary works to Botticelli's iconic Birth of Venus and Primavera. Marvel at Leonardo's Annunciation and Michelangelo's striking Tondo Doni. End with panoramic views from the Uffizi terrace. Your Palazzo Vecchio Bonus: Your complimentary priority ticket grants independent access to Florence's fortress-palace. Explore the magnificent Salone dei Cinquecento, featuring Vasari's towering frescoes and a tantalizing mystery – Leonardo's lost Battle of Anghiari may be hidden behind these walls. Featured in Dan Brown's "Inferno"!

My uffizi tour with Catalina was amazing! She was knowledge, kind and fun. I learned a lot about art, art history and even history about medici family. The group was super small with only 5 people in total. It was a great deal to have tickets with guided uffizi tour and self guided palazzo vecchio tour. Highly recommended.
Kathy was very informative and helpful and the visit was lovely
