Stephanie is a very knowledgeable guide with a flexible program that she can tailor to suit the interests of the group. The tour was well executed and very informative.
Polina was awesome focused on the important things for us to know on this tour, was easy to understand and the audio systems worked great. Highly recommend!
We loved Valentina! She is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor! We loved hearing all the background details of the artists as well. Our tour was 1.5 hours and I wish I’d booked a longer one. Their email communication was excellent. We knew exactly where to be and what time. Entered the gallery easily. No long line!
Our Tour guide Angelo made all the art come to life. He had great knowledge of the art and the artists. Angelo explained the facts and added humor making us remember the painting. Highly recommend Angelo as a tour guide. We wanted more time with him because he was so interesting to listen to. It was a great idea to have individual ear pieces to hear everything well in a crowded Uffizi gallery.
The tour guide was highly knowledgeable and extremely pleasant, it was a very enjoyable tour. He was very patient with the group and made sure all could hear him clearly.
Very easy to see the highlights without too much wandering. We did this with older adults and younger children and it was great for everyone!
Very knowledgeable and funny guide. She told nice stories to complement the beautiful art work. Museum is hot, bring water and a hand fan
This tour was excellent. Our guide was so knowledgeable, took time to answer our questions and gave us interpretations and histories of many famous works of art. The pace was perfect. We had 2 teens, 2 parents and a grandparent and and everyone stayed engaged start to finish. Highly recommend!
Very crowded. Tour only included some of Renaissance rooms 90 minutes, but we were allowed to stay on our own longer. I felt I could have seen as much on my own without a guide. Not as good as other Viatour tours I've taken.
Dear Louis_A, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the experience did not fully meet your expectations. Unfortunately, the venues can be extremely crowded at peak times, though we are pleased that you were able to continue exploring independently after the guided portion of the tour.
Wonderful tour with a great guide. Her name was Sarah
