Le Gallerie Degli Uffizi
First constructed in 1560 by Giorgio Vasari, the Uffizi itself is of historic and architectural interest, with its glorious ceilings, richly detailed architecture, and elaborate corridors and galleries. As you walk through the collections, your guide will explain artists' life during the Renaissance, the politics and fashions that shaped the masterpieces you are about to see, and the patrons and benefactors who empowered these great works of art. Feast your eyes on classic works of Italy's spectacular Renaissance, by artists as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Titian, Giotto, and Caravaggio.Your expert guide will be open for questions. You'll see masterworks including Botticelli's Birth of Venus and Leonardo's Annunciation, as well as iconic sculptures and paintings that encapsulate the power and might of Renaissance Florence. Your guide will say farewell after 2 hours but you'll be free to continue exploring independently until the museum closes at 6:50pm.

Great tour - highly recommend.
This tour is definitely worth the money. Our guide was fantastic and was very knowledgeable and engaging. She navigated the museum like a pro, which she was of course, and made sure everything went smoothly. Her knowledge of art and the museum was immediately evident nd everything was interesting and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour, and our guide whose name I can't recall but hopefully the company can help, as the personal attention and convenience of a private guide made this an exceptional experience.

<p>Martina was wonderful and very knowledgeable and pleasant. I would recommend this tour to anyone however, the term skip the line does not assure that you will skip the line, if it is a busy day. We waited over an hour to get in and that was included as part of the 3 hours. Even though the tour was therefore shortened, it was still great</p>

<p>This was a fantastic tour. I ended up being the only one in the group but they didn't cancel it, so I had a private tour. My guide was the best. She was extremely knowledgeable and took her time to explain everything to me and answer all my questions. We were able to make it through almost every room in the entire museum and I learned so much. Thank you for a great experience. I highly recommend this tour - you won't regret it!</p>

<p>Brilliant, enthusiastic and engaging guide who really made everything come to life and made our trip the Florence special. It turned out we were the only two on that particular tour so it felt very personal. Definitely worth skipping the queue.</p>
