Mary was lovely and incredibly knowledgeable! The Uffizi Gallery can be overwhelming with the amount of works so having a guide move us from room to room explaining the significant pieces was wonderful!

Fabulous Afternoon at the Uffizi!
Katerina, our tour guide was fabulous. She was very friendly, informed, and very knowledgeable about the art pieces. Highly recommend this private tour especially if it's you first time visiting the gallery.
S
Definitely recommended!
Very informative and organized, the guide was funny too! Worth the value and would try another tour actually.
N
She was professional,...
She was professional, funny, knowledgeable, and patient. We had the best time with her as our tour guide.
R
Very knowledgeable
Fantastic tour! Francesca was incredibly knowledgeable about the art. We got way more out of the tour than we expected and than we would have if we went unguided. We’ll worth it!
L
just don't!
Crowded and rushed. Too crowded to actually spend time viewing each piece. Overpriced for the experience provided.

Parts were good and parts were not
Meeting up with our guide did not go so well, and I don't understand why. We were there before the time, but the email he sent to clarify where was sent 1-2 hours before and I wasn't looking at email then. We finally met up, but then he said wait here... another guide came and told us we were with her now. Really don't understand that. The new guide was good, maybe spent a little long at each picture but was very knowledgeable.
E
Could have been better
Tickets were NOT included in the price, they asked for cash when we got there. Audio transmitters didn't work well. Our guide was great though, so that's why I couldn't just give 1 star.
M
Great for seeing musuem’s highlights
Rosa was a great tour guide! She was personable and interesting and kept us engaged during the tour!
E
Fantastic 😍
Elvis is a fantastic guide that walked us through the Uffizi guiding us through the Renaissance arts inception and emergence, it's peak, and ultimate decline. He ties the different paintings and stories together creating a super experience for any art & history lovers.
