Anna was great. She discussed the importance of the museum and each peice based on the owners. Easy to follow and insights. Would recommend to do when in Firenze.
Laura was our guide for a tour of Uffizi and it was excellent. We have visited plenty of museums but rarely with a guide. However Laura may have changed that for us in the future, we got so much more out of our visit to Uffizi than if we went alone.
The tour was great. Our guide, Ilora, was very knowledgeable and made our tour very remembarable. Overall it was excellent tour.
Tour guide was great - but they did change my tour time last minute & so I was able to change the time of another tour I had so be careful when scheduling - I don’t know if I would’ve been able to get my $$ back if I couldn’t switch my earlier tour - they said they had to switch because they didn’t get enough people in the original tour time
Our guide Leticia spoke beautiful, unaccented English and was English. We were, as advertised, only nine people, a perfect sized group. The company "Things to Do" was very helpful, as my phone had been stolen in Rome and our ticket was on our phone. However, we knew the meeting place and found the staff person with our names on the list, so all was well. They were very accommodating. I've been the the Uffizi twice before and this was the best experience.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience with us. We’re delighted to hear that Leticia made your visit to the Uffizi so enjoyable and that the small group size allowed for a more personal and relaxed tour. We’re also glad our team could assist you during a difficult moment with your phone, and that everything worked out smoothly. It means a lot that, even after visiting the Uffizi multiple times, you found this to be your best experience. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on another tour in Florence! Warm regards, The Florence with Locals Team
I recently took a guided tour of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped inside, our guide brought the art and history to life with fascinating stories. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Florence, whether you're an art lover or just curious. The Uffizi is stunning on its own, but with a good guide, it becomes a captivating journey through history. Botticelli's Birth of Venus was definitely one of my favourites!!
Thank you so much for your lovely words! We're thrilled to hear that the Uffizi tour was such a memorable experience for you. It’s true—walking through the gallery with a passionate guide really does make the masterpieces come alive, and Botticelli’s Birth of Venus is always a showstopper! We’re so glad you joined us and hope to see you again on another adventure in Florence!
We had an incredible time on this small group tour of the Uffizi Gallery! Skipping the long lines was such a relief, and from the moment we stepped inside, our guide made the whole experience unforgettable. She was extremely knowledgeable, passionate about art, and brought every masterpiece to life with fascinating stories and insights. Our group was only five people, so it felt like a private tour—personal, intimate, and never rushed. It was the perfect way to explore such a world-class museum without the crowds. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Florence. Truly one of the highlights of our trip!
Thank you so much for this fantastic review! We're absolutely delighted to hear that your Uffizi experience was such a highlight of your trip.
