Wonderful tour - Maria Christina was wonderful, knowledgeable and accommodating. She showed us short cuts to skip the lines. We had someone in our group with limited mobility and Maria was so accommodating by showing us where the lifts and ramps were. She showed us all the important pieces of art and gave detailed explanations.

Wonderful Tour of the Uffizi and the Academy - We had a wonderful tour of the Uffizi and the Academy with Leticia (“Letty”). Although, she is originally from Brazil, she has an amazing knowledge of Florence and its art history. Awesome personality that appealed to all ages in our group (my father in law, husband, young daughters (aged 7 and 9) and I all had such an enjoyable experience!!! Letty was especially great with our daughters - answering their questions in a way they could understand and appreciate! The 2.5 hour tour flew by!! She was a real gem and I would highly recommend her and this tour!!!!

Wonderful Tour - Our tour guide, Renata, was amazing. She was very knowledgeable and personable and loved to share her knowledge about the art and history of the Renaissance. The art work contained in the Uffizi gallery and the Accademia is some of the most impressive painting and sculpture one can see. And of course, there is the sculpture of David! Our family loved this tour.

Perfunctory and efficient tour - Tour guide was very efficient, and at times it felt like there was little room for questions or anything that deviated from her tour script. That being said, we saw everything listed on the tour and started/ended on time (actually the tour ended a few minutes early).
