Nice "Over-the-top" tour of Uffizi and Accademia Gallery - It was nice to have a private tour guide who was very knowledgeable and patient with us. Having gone on both private and semi private group tours, I find the semi private tours to be the best value for the monuments as there's not much difference as long as the semi private tours have good audio. Either way, this company did a great job with organizing the tour, easy to find meeting place, very professional. The guide explained the statue of David very well!!

A wonderful tour of the Uffizi and Academy - Sylvia led a wonderful tour of the Uffizi and Academy Gallery that truly painted the picture for us of Italian Art and Art history that also tied back to other parts of our trip (Rome). I can't say enough nice things about how knowledgeable she is! Would highly recommend her as a guide if you can ask for her.
