Guide's great sense of enlivens Uffizi tour - We had an excellent guide for our 90 minute walk through Uffizi Gallery. Her explanations regarding about 2 dozen works of art (it isn’t possible to describe many more pieces in this amount of time) enabled us to have a much greater appreciation for these than if we had wandered through the gallery on our own. She has a wonderful sense of humor which added to the tour experience.

Perfect for What We Wanted to See - Uffizi Gallery was amazing and thanks to our tour guide. Can’t imagine doing this without a tour guide. Sara took us directly to the most important areas, weaving us through the crowd. Being a small group tour she asked us what we were most looking forward to seeing and she made sure we saw them plus we learned more about them with her commentary. Sara also pointed out things we may want to see later as we passed them. There was a lot to take in and the guide made it all connect for us.

AR was an excellent guide! - Excellent tour with exceptional, engaging information from our guide, AR. Angela was so lovely and knowledgeable on the art pieces. Skip the line entry, 1.5 hours is plenty to hit the highlights of the museum. Then you can continue on your own to cover more of the treasures.

Uffizi Visit with Giovanna - We booked only the night before to ensure an 8.30 visit. Tour van was relatively easy to find on front of the gallery. Highlight was Giovanna our guide. She was cheerful and very passionate about explaining the key works that she took us to. Our tour was just over 90 mins but we spent next two hours revisiting rooms with a new appreciation of what to look for - thanks to Giovanna. The Uffizi is a must.

Glad we went to Museum with a guide - Our tour guide Clare was great! So many works of art in museum but she helped us to see the important ones. Tour was about 90 minutes but can stay in museum after to see even more. The skip-the-line ticket was very helpful too!

Not worth it - Not really worth your time. Tour focused on the most crowded rooms and guide was underwhelming. The guide had a lot of trouble with English and basically received facts and names like a textbook. I love art history, and studied in the city back in college so I ended up leaving the group and giving my own tour for my husband.
