Visiting the Uffizi Gallery on your own can be an exhausting experience! That’s because the Uffizi is the most important painting gallery in Italy, boasting incredible masterpieces by Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, Botticelli, Raphael, Titian and many more. You could be lost in such a massive amount of artworks! That's why I created a fun and handy tour that in 2 hours will unveil to you the meaning of the main paintings, disclosing the artists' secrets and painting techniques. Together we will do a real journey through the history of painting seeing its evolution and its changes throughout the centuries. Fun anecdotes about the painters' lives and characters will help you to discover some of the most outstanding artists who made the world art history. In summer you can take advantage of the night opening of the Uffizi museum and explore it with us without the crowds of the day and in a unique atmosphere!

Excellent and comprehensive guide of the best that the Uffizi Gallery has to offer. Co we had a great time and it is definitely an experience to try again and recommend!
Grazie infinite Matteo!
Alessia is a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. She gave us an insightful tour of Uffizi gallery pointing out many highlights. We learnt a lot.
It was a pleasure to guide you through the Uffizi Gallery! T'ha k you for taking time to write this review!
Alessia is an exceptional guide, very prepared and never trivial. His guides are rich in history and curious anecdotes that make the time spent in his company pleasant. Highly recommended
Grazie infinite! Spero di rivedervi presto a Firenze per un'altra visita guidata!
Carolina made sure we were first in line to enter the Uffizi, and she gave us a most engaging tour of the Museum’s most famous works of art before they became surrounded by crowds of people. She also gave us excellent information about the Pallazo Vecchio, Cosimo I and his wife, Eleanor, and the history and construction of the Uffizi. She knew all about the art we saw and gave us information that enhanced our appreciation of these masterpieces, their creators, and their sponsors. It was a delightful tour.
Thank you for your awesome review! Grazie mille!
I have long wanted to visit the Uffizzi museum with my family on a guided tour. There were 8 of us including 4 children (8-14 years) and the grandmother of 74 years. Alessia was an exceptional guide, punctual and attentive to the needs and desires of all members of the group. His sensitivity, empathy and flexibility made all the difference. Moreover, thanks to the disposable headphones and the audio system we listened to Alessia's explanations always very well even in the presence of many people in the rooms without disturbing others. I had already visited the Uffizzi but without the guide, I can assure you that the guide is more than necessary especially if you visit this museum with family and children.
Grazie infinite Stefano! I tour con i bambini sono i miei preferiti, la meraviglia nei loro occhi è una grande soddisfazione!
Our family just returned from a trip to Italy. One of the high points of our trip was touring the Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia Gallery in Florence with Alessia as our private guide. Alessia was very communicative and helpful with our pre-trip preparations for visiting these two "must-see" sites in Florence. On the day of our tour, she was skillful at helping us navigate the entry into the museums which were incredibly packed with tourists. Alessia adeptly guided us through all of the galleries, making sure that we saw and learned about not only the big-name pieces of art we wanted to see, but also some of the lesson-known, but equally as interesting, works of art. Alessia is knowledgeable, professional, and very easy to work with. Our tour was fantastic and we highly recommend her a private guide!
You made my day! :-) Thank you!!!
I would highly recommend Alessia to do a private tour of the Uffizi — she was professional, knowledgeable, took us straight to all the “must see” art in the museum, and could answer any question we asked her about any piece we came across. She was able to make the tour interesting as well and had our rapt attention for the whole duration of the 2.5 hour tour. She also was kind enough to give us other recommendations about where to go to eat in the city and what to see. Can’t say enough good things about her!
Thank you so much for taking time writing this review. I really appreciate it!
It was a fascinating journey into past ages, through art. With the guide Alessia we appreciated even more the beautiful works of the Uffizi.
Grazie infinite! Sono felicissima che il tour le sia piaciuto!
It was a 2-hour private tour at the Uffizi Gallery. The Guided Tour was excellent. The descrition of the paintings was very interesting, with some biographical notes about the artists, with historical details of the Medici family, and of Florence during the Reinassance. Our guide was never out of focus and kept our interest very vivid throughout the tour. I will recommend Guided Tours of Florence to all my friends. Maria
Thank you so much for taking time to write such a positive review! It means a lot to me!!!
