The tour guide was a joy, passionate about the art within the building
Tour guide canceled the tour few hours prior after initial confirmation message after the booking. Sent meet up instructions after cancellation notice which was very confusing. Ended up going to meeting spot and wasted time
Pam was incredibly knowledgeable, I feel like I took a course on art history in the best way. We’ve done other museum tours and none of them even came close to how great this one was. Can’t recommend enough :)
AVOID!!!! They cancelled the tour which i found out when i showed up for the tour since they notified us via a cryptic same day viator app message . The contact person never picked up/went missing. They never bothered to email or text us about it. To make matters worse, the tickets to the museum (like to buy the general admission tickets) were completely sold out for another week meaning we were not able to visit this gallery at all. The least they could have done was ask if we wanted to be charged just the value of the ticket so we could use our reservation. Totally unprofessional and terrible customer service. Buy your own ticket direct through uffizi. (In advance) Don’t go through trip advisor or viator (use GetYourGuide instead if you need a your).
Bruce was wonderfully knowledgeable and a perfect guide for introducing my teens to the innovations of renaissance artists, he both captivated and educated us.
We arrived as planned and the tour was initially confirmed by the tour guide on site, to be cancelled 10 minutes after.
What an amazing place with beautiful art. The guide was easy to understand and very thorough in all descriptions and history
I'm really glad I did this tour. It was my first time visiting a gallery of such, and I was not disappointed. I only wish I had more time to explore because there was so much to see. The detailed explanation and history told by the tour guide was very helpful. Without a guide, you might end up just roaming around lost in the vast array of paintings and sculptures, unable to really appreciate what you see.
What a delight to experience some of the finest art in history with a guide as knowledgeable and fascinating as Francesca. She brought the works to life with such detail and colour, I felt that I had learned so much about art history in just two hours. One really needs to have some understanding of the paintings to fully appreciate the experience. Francesca’s enthusiasm and expertise made this trip unforgettable for us, many thanks.
After taking this tour my wife and I vowed never to visit another art museum WITHOUT taking a tour. Unless you have studied up or have a degree in art history, it simply isn't possible to appreciate the art to its fullest extent without a guide. Our guide for this tour was a wonderfully informative expert in the museum and the history of Florence. She skillfully worked in details about the time period, the Medici family, and the art that we were viewing. Her pacing and level of information was perfect. We thoroughly appreciated all her insights and left with a deeper appreciation for Florence, the Renaissance, and the Ufizzi.
