The tour guide was good and I enjoyed learning the history, but the museum was SO crowded that it was hard to maneuver through a room and it was difficult to actually see the art. I think the experience would be much more enriching if you’re able to avoid the crowds of high season.

Julia was amazing. I had a limited appreciation of art, but she really lit up the pictures and statues for me and my husband. Questions were answered fully and encouraged at the time. Personally, I do not think we could have been offered a better guide to show the wonders of the Ufizzi and we wish her much happiness in her future career.

Our guide, Julia, was superb! The Uffizi would easily have overwhelmed us had we not known where and how to see its vast collection. Julia punctuated our tour of significant works of art with an engaging story about the rise and fall of the Medici family, Renaissance art, and Florence as a cradle of humanism and the modern age. She is knowledgeable and personable— a winning combination!
