Description
Capture the essence of Florence's artistic heritage and explore the collections of two of the world's most famous galleries. Elena, one of the expert local guides, says, ‘Taking in so much art in a single day can be draining. With a guide to provide insight and context you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the collections and their place in Renaissance Italy and the wider world.’ At the Uffizi Gallery, your guide will lead you to discover the unmissable masterpieces, including works by Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, Botticelli, Caravaggio, and Titian. Next, you'll head to the Accademia Gallery. There you'll explore the gallery's seven halls, marvel at paintings, frescoes, and altarpieces in the Hall of the Colossus. The highlight of the tour is the Tribune, where you'll find the Accademia's star statue, Michelangelo's David, created by the artist when he was just 26 years old from a solid piece of marble.

Excellent tour!
Great experience! Our tour guide was very informative and was well versed about all the historical facts about the art and history. So amazing to see the art I had learned about in art history classes right in front of me!

Guided tour in Florence
Having a guide enables you to do more than just look at a painting or a sculpture; a guide educates you about what you are seeing and the history of the art and artist.
S
Oversold tour
Unfortunately, I cannot give this tour a high rating. The time slot appeared to be significantly oversold. We experienced a 35-minute delay before being admitted, despite having a reserved time. To make matters worse, several groups that arrived after us were allowed to enter first. We were left standing outside in the sun for an extended period. Although the guide was knowledgeable, it was often difficult to understand everything she said due to her accent and the overwhelming noise from the hundreds of people crowding the area at the same time. Even with noise-canceling headsets, much of the commentary was hard to follow. The museums themselves were absolutely beautiful and well worth visiting. However, our advertised three-hour tour ultimately lasted only about two hours. The guide ended the tour approximately 25 minutes early and left us to explore the museum on our own. As a result, we received considerably less guided tour time than what we paid for. While the museums were wonderful, the overcrowding, delays, and shortened tour made the overall experience disappointing.

Fantastic tour
our tour guide was outstanding - she was very knowledgeable and engaging which made the tour so much more enjoyable. I definitely recommend this tour if you have only a little time in Florence as youget to see and hear about the most important parts of the Medici and Renaissance

Our guide was awesome!
It’s a little tricky finding the starting place unless you have a good map. Bring water with you especially if it’s hot.
