Great Education
We had a great tour with Crown Tours. Isabella did a wonderful job not only explaining the art but the history of Florence with respect to the art. Everything was very easy- meeting up, getting g through the lines and hearing the audio on the tour. I’d definitely do it again
Operator response
Hi Andy, From the straightforward meeting point and smooth entry to the clear audio and Isabella’s thoughtful explanations, it sounds like every part of the tour worked together beautifully. We especially love that she connected the artworks with the Florence that shaped them, giving you more than a gallery visit. Hearing that you’d happily do it again is a wonderful compliment! Warm regards, Sky Crown Tours

Isabella’s ability to teach not only the story of the art, but also the history of Florence around it, clearly gave the Uffizi a richer meaning. Thank you for sharing how much you enjoyed learning with her. Kind regards, Sky Crown Tours
