Anastasia was wonderful and very knowledgeable, we had a baby with us and she was happy to go at our pace.
Our tour guide was Anastasia, and she was fantastic. We had some disappointmenting tours in Rome and thought we just weren’t tour people. She completely changed our minds! We were lucky enough to be the only people in our group, so it ended up being like a private tour. Anastasia actually talks to you, instead of the paintings and statues you’re looking at, and she’s full of interesting information. Some of our guides were difficult to understand but she spoke excellent English. She was by far our best tour guide in Italy. The Uffizi itself is massive and houses a majestic collection. It wasn’t totally packed which was a nice change. Outside the building are many artists painting and selling art, and we each bought several paintings.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We're truly delighted to hear that Anastasia made such a positive impression and completely changed your perspective on guided tours. Her passion for art, engaging storytelling, and ability to connect with guests are exactly what we strive to offer, and we're thrilled that her excellent English and personal approach made your visit so enjoyable. We're also glad you had the unexpected pleasure of such a small group, allowing for an even more intimate experience, and that you enjoyed both the extraordinary Uffizi collection and the vibrant atmosphere outside the museum with the local artists. We'll be sure to share your wonderful comments with Anastasia—they will mean a great deal to her. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back for many more memorable experiences in Italy.

The early morning tour was great. We were able to see the masterpieces easily without the crowds. Our guide, Francesca, was very knowledgeable, personable, and terrific. She spent time explaining the periods involved and major works. Well worth the money for the tour.

This is an impressive collection of paintings. Our guide Giana had a ton of knowledge and kindly led us to the highlights of the museum. After over 2 hrs, there was more to see. Not for those who just want to pass thru. Giana was on time and helped with avoiding the crowds, as well as explaining significance and detail of the paintings, as well as the museum itself. Great for those of us with an interest in the Renaissance.

We loved this exceptional early bird tour of the Uffizi with Fabio! He was a very knowledgeable and fun guide, navigating us away from the other tourists to view the incredible Uffizi art more closely. Fabio provided us with the key achievements of art history, leading to the Renaissance. He also recommended that we visit Santa Croce and the Bargello Museum, which we diid! (These places were lovely, with less tourists. ) This was a wonderful tour of the Uffizi, first thing in the morning. A true bucket list experience!

Ginna was fantastic! She gave us amazing details of many of the paintings and sculptures that brought life to the gallery!! Her familiarity with fine arts and art history were quite impressive and she welcomed our questions along the way. Going through the gallery on our own would have been an overwhelming experience because of the crowd alone but she knew where and when to take us to the highlights in the gallery. We highly recommend this tour! You will not be disappointed!

Making world-class art accessible and enjoyable, even during busy periods, is exactly what we aim for. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on a future Italian experience.
We could not rate this tour highly enough. Jana was so very generous with her knowledge and her time. It was so apparent just how much she appreciated the major art works she guided us to. She linked the works with explanations not only of the art works themselves, but also art history and the background and lives of the artists and the history of Florence too. An absolute delight and privilege to be on her tour and a definitely one of the best experiences of our trip to Tuscany! Many, many thanks, Jana!

Sharing the beauty, history, and artistic heritage of Florence with passionate travelers is exactly what we strive for.

Gianna, our guide was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable about everything she took us to see. We learned so much from her! The time was great as the crowds were less! Gianna was very accommodating to our needs! I would highly recommend!
