Had a great experience on this tour. The Florencetown office wasn't difficult to find, and the guide knew what she was doing. There was still some waiting to get into the Uffizi but there always is, and given the crowds I don't think we could've gone any faster. Felt as organised as it was possible to be.

The content of the tour itself was also really good - very informative, but also entertaining and fascinating. We had little radios so we could hear our guide properly even in the crowded rooms, and she offered a really good mix of artistic knowledge about the art itself, with historical, social and even political contexts for the paintings and painters. (Personally I loved the snippets about the historical contexts and lives of artists, especially the scandals!)

The tour was basically chronological, starting from the religious paintings of the 13th and 14th century, ending with Caravaggio and the 1600s. I thought it was really well structured, with good pacing and time to absorb the art. Didn't feel rushed.

Make sure you're ready to stand & walk for 3 hours. Good shoes and a light bag are a must!

Vanessa was an exceptional tour guide during our visit to the Uffizi Gallery. She gave us the history and the stories of the art with passion and her detailed knowledge of the art and imagery was truly impressive. What set her apart was her warm and friendly approach, ensuring everyone in our group felt included and engaged. Highly recommend!

Our guide was knowledgeable and talked about things not found in the books. We did the 3 hour tour which at the end of the day felt very long. The Uffizi itself was very loud, disappointing as we couldn't then hear the guide through the headset.

Our tour guide Marta was phenomenal. She made the whole experience unforgettable and so interesting and educational. We left the tour with more knowledge and understanding of art because of her. Thank you! Highly recommended!

I have taken a shorter Uffizi tour a few years ago. It was very good; more an introduction to the Uffizi collection. This 3 hour tour was on another level. It was a small tour group which is beneficial. The guide allowed us time to discuss the background, technique and style of the most significant paintings. She filled in biographical details of the painters and models. We also discussed other artworks by many of the painters on display in other art galleries. The 3 hours flew by. It was an outstanding tour led by an outstanding guide. I decided to focus on one tour on my visit to Florence and I definitely chose the right one.
