Eleonora is the perfect guide, she was patient clear and calm. She delivered the ideal balance between history and artistic analysis. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Florence, she helped to bring the beauty of the Ufizi and the renaissance to life!

Itinerary
Designed as a building for the offices – or uffizi – of the Florentine magistrates, the structure grew to house the stunning collection of art amassed by the wealthy Medici family. Overlooking the Arno River, the gallery is as picturesque as the many paintings hanging on its walls. You’ll learn about its turbulent history including a mafia car bomb and severe flooding that threatened the artwork. The Uffizi has undergone extensive modernization through the early 21st century, making it a world-class museum. More than 100 rooms highlighting the best of Italian art from names like Titian and Caravaggio. Discover these Renaissance works and the artists behind them, like Raphael’s “Self Portrait.” See the most famous paintings like Botticelli’s “Primavera” or his stunning “Birth of Venus,” a work that has become a cultural icon over the past few hundred years. No trip to Florence is complete without a jaunt through the Uffizi, and our guide will ensure you see the best bits.

Another 5 star tour by Babylon! A big thank you to Eleonora for making the day so enjoyable. She’s knowledgeable and engaging, and really immerses you into the world of Florence. The time flew by and I look forward to coming back to Florence to do more tours!! I can’t recommend Babylon tours enough!
Giacomo (Jack) was the best part of this tour. He made it easy to find him in the middle of crowds of people waiting to get in to the Ufizzi gallery. While the gallery is a great place to experience, it is too much to understand if you don't have a guide. Giacomo (Jack) not only told us the gallery history but included the stories behind the art, sculpture, and architecture. He communicates in a way any non-art expert can understand. He is friendly, personable, and a teacher, all in one. Request Jack ... he's the best!
Giacomo was fantastic!! He brings history to life. And he adds not just history but also art expertise above and beyond! What a treat he was. Best guide for sure!!
Outstanding immersive experience championed by erudite tour guide (Sabrina M.) with vast knowledge of artists and their artistry in concert with ancient Roman history. The pace of the tour was perfect with time to ask questions
Jack out tour guide was incredible! He made this museum and paintings come to life. His knowledge and perspectives were simply amazing. He made this experience a once in a lifetime event for us. The paintings now have meaning that you could never get any other way.
You have limited time and must have a guide to go through the gallery and have explanations regarding the artists and each period represented. There are thousands of people and our guide moved us into which halls held the must see art.
Laura D was excellent in guiding us through the Uffizi, clearly describing the works, their background and the artists.
Larisa was a great tour guide. She was energetic and informative. My family learned so much on our tour - both art and the history of the city!
Incredible tour. It was just 5 of us and we skipped the line . Annette was amazing- so knowledgeable- I learned so much ! It would not have been the same to walk through on my own. Her knowledge and insight made me appreciate and understand the art and the artists. It was awesome!
