With this tour you will have the chance to visit one of the main attractions of Florence, the most important art gallery in Italy with its thousands of inestimable art works that cover the period of nearly five centuries: the Uffizi.

In 1574 the first floor of this building was converted into a gallery of art works at the will of Francesco I de 'Medici, who commissioned the work to Buontalenti that later also realized the "Tribuna" to house the treasures of the Medici, and the Medici Theater. In 1737 Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici stipulated the "Convenzione" by which all the works here contained, were inextricably linked to the city of Florence.

Today with the explanation of our knowledgeable guide, you can admire the works by the most important Florentine painters, such as Giotto and Masaccio, and timeless masterpieces as the Tondo Doni by Michelangelo, the Annunciation by Leonardo da Vinci, the Spring and the Venus by Botticelli just to name a few!

Then you will admire the exterior of the world-known Vasari Corridor, the secret passage built by Vasari himself for the Medici family; you will learn that it was used by the Lords of Florence to walk not seen from the Palazzo Vecchio to the Pitti Palace, passing over the famous Ponte Vecchio bridge. And this is just one of the anecdotes that our guide will share with you!
