Highlights
  • Florence - City of the tour
  • Gallerie Degli Uffizi - One of the world’s oldest art museums, the Uffizi was built by architect Giorgio Vasari in the 16th century to house government offices. It was only later that the building was used to showcase art collected by Florence’s ruling Medici family, and not until 1769 that it was turned into a public museum.

The repository of more 1,500 works dating from Greek times to the 18th century, the core of the Uffizi is its unmissable collection of Renaissance art. Your tour concentrates on these, as your guide leads you around the highlights of the Renaissance rooms, home to great works by Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and others.

Enter the spectacular Botticelli Room and wonder at his The Birth of Venus and Primavera as your guide explains their composition and meaning, and the nature of Botticelli’s genius. Then, continue to see masterpieces such as da Vinci’s breathtaking Annunciation, Michelangelo’s Doni Tondo and works by Rafael.

Giavanna should be your guide - Giovanna was excellent! She was so knowledgeable and friendly and we loved her discussions of the paintings. She also made sure the group stayed together and found us a bench wherever possible.

Nice to be in a Small Group with a Fantastic Guide - Our group was small, so we were able to manoeuver through the large groups that seemed to move incredibly slowly through the museum. This allowed us to see more of the museum without wasting time. Our guide, Stephanie, was fantastic. She knows the Uffizi so well, that while moving through the museum, she noticed several paintings that had been returned after having been removed for several years for renovation. I couldn't have really appreciated the museum and its works without her commentary. Excellent guide, excellent tour.
