Download the app beforehand for better experience. We had booked for audioguide but couldnt use it as app was not downloaded before hand
We’re sorry that you were unable to use the audio guide during your visit. We understand how disappointing this must have been. The app needs to be downloaded in advance to access the content, and we appreciate your feedback as this information should be communicated as clearly as possible before the tour. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
This was was a discombobulated and poorly organized experience. They changed the time on us last minute. Then they had us waiting for 40 minutes because the tour company screwed up the ticketing process. But instead of being the 90 minute tour as advertised, the guide felt compelled to compress a 90 minute tour into 60 minutes. So it was like listening to a speed reading class on Italian art instead of amor well paced experience of the museum. The guide was knowledgeable. But overall, the experience was hurried and poorly organized. We would’ve done much better to just have a headset and guided ourselves. It was an incredible waste of money and more importantly our time. When I shared this feedback with the tour company, which is called Crown, they said thank you for the feedback and that was it. Any professional outfit would have made good on the poor tour. Extreme disappointment. Avoid it at all costs.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are very sorry that the last-minute time change, ticketing delay, and shortened tour made the visit feel rushed and poorly organized. We understand how disappointing it must have been to lose valuable time at the Uffizi and then experience the tour at an uncomfortable pace. We also regret that our previous response did not address your concerns in the way you expected. Please send your booking reference number to feedback@crowntours.com so we can investigate the ticketing issue, timing, and communication in detail. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
The title is deceptive. I walked thru the gallery myself the only thing that they provide is the app that has audio to describe the art. However, I had my own audio guide that I preferred so I used that one instead. I guess it’s the convenience of not having to purchase your ticket on the website, I’m not really sure the point of this “tour”.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the experience did not match your expectations. We understand your concern regarding the tour description and the guided format. Your comments are important to us, and we will review this with our team to ensure the information provided is clearer and more accurate for future guests. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
Definitely the way to go! We were a small group (6) and our guide, Gabriela, was most knowledgeable about the backstory of the paintings we viewed. She took time for questions as well. After the one hour tour we had as much time as we wished to tour the museum on our own.
Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed your Uffizi Gallery small group tour. It’s great to know Gabriela made the experience so engaging with her knowledge of the stories behind the paintings and took time to answer questions. We hope to welcome you again soon. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
Fantastic! Loredana was an excellent tour guide, easily guiding us from one great work of art to another. Her knowledge of Florence, the Medici Family, and Renaissance history and art was unmatched. Highly recommend this tour with Loredana.
Thank you for your wonderful review, Karen. We are so happy to hear that you had a fantastic Uffizi Gallery tour with Loredana. It is lovely to know her knowledge of Florence, the Medici family, Renaissance history, and art made the experience so special. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
On time,given paper vouchers,told to wait to the right,Left unattended,no headphones,never saw guide again.Tried to download audio without success, tried to contact guide without success, tried to contact the company without success. This was no VIP experience. Sorry to say.
Dear Marian, We are very sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration regarding the organization and communication during your Uffizi Gallery visit. What you described is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, especially for a VIP experience. We sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding the guide, headphones, and the difficulty reaching our team. Please contact us at feedback@crowntours.com with your booking reference number so we can investigate your case internally and better understand what happened. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
This was a wonderful small tour. We had Ms Lopez who was so knowledgeable and really explained things. She made time for me to see certain art in the museum especially. She was very down to earth and friendly and it felt like doing a tour with a friend. The tour company is very well run.
Dear Jeanne, Thank you for your wonderful and detailed review. We are delighted to hear that Ms. Lopez made your Uffizi Gallery tour such a personal and enjoyable experience with her knowledge, kindness, and attention to your interests. It is especially lovely to know that the tour felt like exploring the museum with a friend. We truly appreciate your kind words about our team and organization, and we hope to welcome you again soon. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
Many people and few extraordinary works. Most of them are very boring and you walk and you're sick of it.
Estimada Carmen, Gracias por compartir su opinión. Lamentamos saber que la visita a la Galería Uffizi no cumplió con sus expectativas y que la experiencia le resultó cansada. Agradecemos sus comentarios y, si desea compartir más detalles, puede contactarnos en feedback@crowntours.com . Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
It was great to see the amazing artwork, and our tour guide had an amazing knowledge of the art, but she kept complaining about the crowds and seemed unprepared for them. For example we stood outside and she talked about the statues outside, then we had to wait in a long line to get in, and she said “oh if I had known there would be a line, I wouldn’t have taken so much time outside.” Also I would rather hear about the art and artists than the history of Florence.
Thank you for your feedback, Laurie. We’re glad to hear you appreciated the guide’s knowledge and the incredible artwork. At the same time, we understand your concerns regarding the pacing and focus of the tour, and we’re sorry that parts of the experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to investigate this further, so please feel free to contact us at feedback@crowntours.com with your booking reference number so we can review the situation in detail. We appreciate your comments and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
The museum has amazing holdings. Our guide was so knowledgeable regarding the art, from the history to the techniques to the uniqueness about each piece. 100% satisfied!!!
Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that the guide’s knowledge and detailed explanations made your visit to the Uffizi so enriching and enjoyable. We hope to welcome you again on another tour soon. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
