Combo Skip The Line - Uffizi Gallery And Accademia Gallery Tour

Posted By : carylneinas
It was a terrible and anxiety-ridden experience. I am in my 80's, traveling solo, and wanted to see the Uffizi and the Academia so hoped to meet a guide and group and get into the museums. I was told to wait under the Cellini sculpture and look for someone with a flag that said "European Destinations." I waited 45 minutes, then asked the Uffizi staff if I was in the right place and they said they had never heard of this tour group. They tried to call the number on the Viator info and no response. returned to the meeting point and a half hour later a woman came up and had my name written on a sheet. Then we couldn't get into the Uffizi so had to walk to the Accademia--and then back again. The guide was very knowledgeable, however the organization of this tour by this group is very negative. I would like at least a partial refund for the worry and anxiety.

Lara is an excellent tour guide, very thorough & informative. She took excellent care of her clients. The only difficulty encountered was where exactly to meet her outside the Uffizi, instructions were confusing.

Our guide (not positive about spelling of her name…Laura or Lauren???) was the best. She was so knowledgeable and very kind. My sister can’t walk a lot so Laura(n) was able to get us a taxi to the Accademia. We loved her! Thank you

We started with the Uffizi at 11, and then the Accademia after a break for lunch. Logistics were smooth, our guide met us at the easy-to-find agreed upon spots on time. We were fortunate, as our total group was seven people, easy to stick together and very personalized. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about both museums, both the lay outs and the art within. So much better than a guidebook!

Our guide was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable and really seemed to care about her subject matter. We had the feeling that she was really passionate about the art works.

We had an amazing time and experience. We would have never touched on all the key points that our guide educated us on. I love it 100%!

Our tour was with Laura and was a private tour which was a surprise to us. The tour was an in-depth lesson about Renaissance art and history of Florence. Excellent experience for anyone seeking a thorough educational experience. Laura moved us quickly through the museums. I suggest the tour should start at the Academy and end at Uffizi so participants would have more time at Uffizi to explore. We only had about 30 mins on our own to see Uffizi and walk to the Academy so we missed a lot at Uffizi. From my experience, I do not recommend this tour for teens or children or anyone else with a short attention span as it was A LOT of information. I would do this again with other adults interested in history and would be prepared to take notes.
