Description
What’s the meaning of Uffizi? Offices, did you know it?! However, this is not like any office you have been in before. The Uffizi is one of the world’s most renowned art museums, packed with masterpieces by the great artists who turned Florence into the capital of the Renaissance.
Get skip the line tickets to Italy’s most renowned and important museum
You can queue for hours to get into the Uffizi Gallery, but not on this tour. You’ll have skip the line tickets meaning you can walk straight in (after a security check) and admire some of the greatest works of art that made Florence into the Cradle of the Renaissance. Follow the evolution of Italian art through the centuries from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, accompanied by an art expert who will tell you the stories and secrets behind each masterpiece.
Admire the works of the greatest Italian artists
Your guide will bring to life the works of some of Italy’s most important artists. Discover Giotto’s revolutionary art and admire the beauty of Botticelli’s Primavera and the sensuality of Venere. Surprise yourself with Leonardo Da Vinci’s mix of rational genius and artistic creativity, as well as the works of too many unequalled artists to mention - including Raphael and Michelangelo.
Learn the secrets of the Vasari Corridor
This is more than a museum tour - it’s a memorable experience where you can immerse your heart and soul in art. And you’ll learn about architecture too - the Vasari Corridor was opened to the public in 2007. Today it has finally reopened after years of restoration, making this the must-see experience of the year! Upgrade to our Uffizi & Vasari Corridor tour to make the most out of your visit. As you explore this hidden gem, your expert guide will reveal its fascinating history, from its secretive Medici past to the architectural marvels that make it unique.

"Francesco our guide was great; he was very informative, interesting, up=to=date, generous in his responses to our questions and comments, and the selection of art works and the timing of it all was great. We found the traffic flow difficult when we stayed afterwards and think it could be improved in the Uffizi."

"We had an amazing tour of the Uffizi Gallery. Our guide was Leonardo who shared his incredible knowledge about the paintings, the artists and the history relating to the paintings and sculptures. So much to see but Leonardo was able to take us to the most significant works and succinctly describe the meaning and techniques used by the pre-eminent artists of the time. Thanks Leonardo for a most memorable experience ! "

"I have no problem giving a recommendation. Our guide arrived on time, the group was small as promised, and the audio worked well. Our guide (Francesco) was very knowledgeable, explained things in detail about the paintings, and answered all questions we put to him. His English was also very good. Although the cost of a guided tour may seem high I thought it was worth it for the extra understanding you get in a once in a lifetime visit."

"A wonderful experience (despite the enormous crowds)! Our Guide Andrea was brilliant so knowledgeable, and enthusiastic, but still with a sense of humour. We learned so much about the important paintings that we simply would not have noticed for ourselves. Not to be missed but try to get on a group led by Andrea !!!!!!!"

"I want to give a big thank you to our guide, Francesca. My wife was taken ill at the start of the tour, but Francesca managed to look after her, park us somewhere safe, and continue to run the tour while still occasionally checking we were OK. Meanwhile, my two teenage boys continued as part of the tour party and thoroughly enjoyed it. Excellent work all round Francesca, thanks again!"
