Historical places like this are so much more enriching and memorable with a guide providing historical relationships, background information, facts and stories. We really enjoyed the experience and our guide, he was very knowledgable. Well worth the money! And you get in the museum faster and more directly!

  • The painting that reflects the history, not the history of art; LOVE&HATRED
  • Explorer Florence culture, Just for Open Mind People corruption competition
  • Uffizi Gallery 1st museum of the world history + political artistic propaganda

Full description

Join us on a unique journey through the Uffizi Gallery that goes beyond typical art history tours. Rather than focusing on artistic techniques, this experience delves into the daily lives and personal struggles of the artists, uncovering stories of rivalry, corruption, and political influences that still echo in our world today.
We’ll explore the powerful Medici family, the bankers of Florence, their ties with the Vatican, and their role in shaping both art and society.

Meet greats like Michelangelo and Leonardo, but not only for their masterpieces. We’ll look beyond painted surfaces to uncover hidden symbols, rivalries, and scandals that animated Florence. The tour dives into how the fierce competition between families like the Medici and the Strozzi impacted politics, economics, and art itself. Art becomes a tool of propaganda, wielded to display power and shape public opinion.

This tour doesn’t just recount the distant past; it connects these timeless human struggles—corruption, politics, personal ambition—to the present day. For those who wish to go deeper, this experience offers a rare perspective on art and history through the fascinating, complex lens of humanity itself.

Small Group with provided headsets to enjoy the home of the Renaissance.

I lost my way for my 10:30am meeting time and when I reached the meeting point I was 10 minutes late. so obviously they go ahead without me because not possible for others to wait. I immediately texted the tour person and I will also know that he will not able to reply me immediately because he’s busy taking care of the group . So I just hang around have a coffee and wait around. After one and a half hour he texted me and immediately we meet up again and he rearrange another guided tour for me at 1 pm. I have to say that he’s very responsible, very professional, and helpful to take care that we will have a really good experience and services with him. I highly recommend him.
