The Uffizi has undergone extensive modernization through the early 21st century, making it a world-class museum.
More than 100 rooms highlighting the best of Italian art from names like Titian and Caravaggio. Discover these Renaissance works and the artists behind them, like Raphael’s “Self Portrait.” See the most famous paintings like Botticelli’s “Primavera” or his stunning “Birth of Venus,” a work that has become a cultural icon over the past few hundred years.

Excellent tour with Rubina - Rubina was very knowledgeable and the tour had an excellent pace and flow. It felt like we were in our own little bubble getting all of the pertinent information on the history and pieces of art.

Pay Samuela Marconcini more! - Pay Samuela Marconcini more!
She is magnificent.
Such a depth of knowledge!
Such a command of details!
She answered every question (and there were many) with thourghness and patience.
And this too -- a thoughtful, genuinely friendly person.
I will recommend her to everyone at home who is traveling to Florence.

Phenomenal Tour of the Uffizi! - Our tour guide, Elenora, was exceptional! She brought the Uffizi to life for our group of five. She was knowledgeable, passionate, and fun. Our understanding of the amazing art work was so much deeper with her explanations. Without her guidance, we would have just rambled through the huge museum, enjoying the art, but not putting it all into context. Well worth the cost of the private tour, which did not end up being much more than a regular tour.
The tour company was also very accommodating as we had to make some very last minute additions. I was very appreciative of their efforts that ultimately resulted in creating life-time memories for all of us.
Doing "skip-the-line" is a must. We were way ahead of the majority of visitors. Didn't have to fight to see the most popular works.
Cannot recommend them highly enough!
