Uffizi and Palazzo Vecchio Combo Private Tour
Description
A combo tour including two 'must see' museums of Florence: the Uffizi Gallery and Palazzo Vecchio. The Uffizi is the most visited museum in Italy and this tour will give you the chance to do an amazing journey through the history of painting: from Giotto -the greatest Italian Medieval painter- to Botticelli, from Leonardo Da Vinci to Michelangelo, to end up with Raphael and Titian! You will learn a great deal about the artworks and the personalities of the artists who made the history! Do not worry about lines at the entrance as we will have express entrance in order to save your precious time! Afterward, you will be introduced to the Medici family, a dinasty of politicians and generous patrons who made Florence so rich in art treasures.

Upon booking this tour my guide reached out and gave me a heads up of how the tour would go and things I would need to purchase (ticket to Uffizi, which I was aware). We were coordinated and ready to go, well in advance of the tour. The day befo0re the tour, the guide reached out sharing that they were coming down with a bug and that the tour would happen, but with a different guide. Intel was shared and communications flowed well. Maja arrived and off we went. After some good conversations and brain picking she proceeded to show me all that I had wanted to see and had requested. Great conversations and attention to details with intermittent pop quizzes that kept me on my toes. I finally got to see the birth of Venus and many other splendors that I had missed out on on a previous trip to Florence. I would totally recommend this tour.
Our visit was extra special because of our tour guide Alessia Carmignani!! Alessia was so knowledgeable and fun to spend time with during our girls trip to Florence. I highly recommend Alessia if you plan to visit there!!!
Alessia was a great tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and kept the Tour interesting for the entire family. She was also very engaging with our two boys.
Thank you so much! The kids made it easy!
Alessia was the perfect guide. She is well versed in the history of Florence and its stories. While exploring the Uffuzzi, she provided interesting insights to some of the most famous works of art, and paced the tour quite well. It would be easy to get bogged down in the Uffuzi with its massive collection, but Alessia showed us the most important works, added interesting commentary and introduced us to a few artists along the way. She kept my three teenage boys engaged during the tour, which isn't always easy. I would highly recommend her as a guide.
Dear John, thank you so much! I've enjoyed a lot spending the day with you and tour family, I hope to see you again very soon! Take care, Alessia
