Highlights
- Gallerie Degli Uffizi - Designed as a building for the offices
- or uffizi - of the Florentine magistrates, the structure grew to house the stunning collection of art amassed by the wealthy Medici family. Overlooking the Arno River, the gallery is as picturesque as the many paintings hanging on its walls. You’ll learn about its turbulent history including a mafia car bomb and severe flooding that threatened the artwork. 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. No trip to Florence is complete without a jaunt through the Uffizi, and our guide will ensure you see the best bits.

Our favorite tour and guide - We had many tour guides during our Italy trip and none was better than Annette from Babylon Tours. She went beyond basic information and wove a historical story about the Uffizi and how the art reflected the actual events. We looked at tons of art during our trip but the only things I remember are from this tour because she made them come alive for us. Could not recommend more!

Now I know. - Sabrina is a bottomless pit of knowledge and love for Painters and artists.
Ufizzi is clearly a must do in Firenze but without her It would have been a senseless run.
Thank you ! I definitelly recommand her

Best way to experience the Uffizi! - Our tour was with Eleonora. She kept in touch before the tour- it was clear where to meet her. She was VERY knowledgeable, and gave an overview of the Uffizi as well as focused on the highlights across the centuries. She had many interesting facts and stories. The semi private tour is much better than the large tour group experience! Highly recommend.
