Description

What’s Uffizi mean? It’s “offices,” which you might find rather surprising. Still, it is unlike any office you’ve ever come across before. The Uffizi is one of the most famous art galleries in the world and houses works of art by all those great artists who turned Florence into the center of the Renaissance. While the long queue at the Uffizi Gallery is a hallowed tradition, our approach is rather different. With ‘skip the line’ tickets, you’ll have direct access—after a security check—to really take in some of the most extraordinary works that founded Florence to be the ‘Cradle of the Renaissance’. Traveling with an art expert would help you cover the evolution of Italian art from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance through stories and secrets imbibed within each masterpiece.

Enjoy works from famous Italian artists

Your guide will illuminate the masterpieces created by some of Italy’s most significant artists. Experience the groundbreaking art of Giotto and appreciate the exquisite beauty of Botticelli’s Primavera along with the allure of Venere. Allow yourself to be astonished by Leonardo Da Vinci’s intellectual brilliance and artistic innovation, as well as the creations g numerous uiparalleled artists, among them Raphael and Michelangelo.

Explore the secrets of the Vasari Corridor

It’s much more than just a museum tour; it’s true art immersion, and you will receive some information on architecture in general and in the Vasari Corridor – there was an opening for visiting here in 2007. After major restoration work, it is re-launched and has become THE experience of the year! To make the maximum out of your visit, you can upgrade the tour to include Uffizi & Vasari Corridor.

"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!"
