Although we missed our tour, company rep came and gave us our tickets to get into gallery. But gallery was very crowded and it was hard to get close to some works for reflection and study. We ended up staying for hours. Amazing ancient Greek and Roman statuary, and of course master painters.

CHRISTOPHER_L

One of the most experienced and knowledgeable guides you could possibly get. Our guide was passionate about art history and made touring the massive Uffizi personable and historically dimensional with her incredible knowledge of the pieces and the artists who created them.

Lisa_R

Hilaria was amazing and very knowledgeable. She brought the paintings to life and provided lots of context to better understand the history behind the exhibits.

Christine_O

the tour was through Star Europe Tours. Without alerting us, they changed the start time. We waited under the DaVinci statue for an hour - as we got there the prescribed 15 minutes early. I would not book with them again. the tour guide was VERY knowledgeable & interesting. She did not quite keep the mic directly in front of her mouth all the time - she could have used a headset instead of a handheld mic

Jacqueline_R

We loved the museum! What a treat to see some of the masterpieces of the world in person. The Botticellis alone were spectacular, not to mention the work of Leonardo Davinci!

Patrizia_D

Guide très intéressant, très bien préparée et très pédagogique. La gallérie des Uffizi est un musée magnifique, qui mérite d’être vu et revu

Herve_N

Marie nous a fait voyager dans le temps pour découvrir les évolutions artistiques tant religieuses que séculaires du moyen âge à la Renaissance. Un vrai régal pour les yeux et les oreilles.
