Full description

The Uffizi Gallery is a must-see when visiting Florence. Built in 1560 and known as the world's oldest museum, it was designed by the famous renaissance architect Giorgio Vasari. The grand duke of Tuscany Cosimo I de Medici decided to re-establish the authority of the Medici family.

After Cosimo I eliminated most of his rivals, he gave an office to the rest to keep an eye on them. In fact, Uffizi means offices. After his death, his children lost interest in politics. His eldest son, Francesco I, brought his private collection of artworks and made the Uffizi his private museum.

On this tour Uffizi tour, save time but also learn inside stories behind some of the most notable masterpieces conserved in Florence.

Our guide Julia gave us a very good, compact summary of the development of the representation of Mary and a lot of interesting information about the Medici and the most famous pictures. She used the time on the way from the office to the Uffizi for this. Thanks to her prudence, we managed to get from one room to the other quickly, despite the large number of visitors. I really recommend this tour.

Wonderful visit, our guide Ana has been pleasant and communicative, she has adapted perfectly to the level of knowledge of the group (and that we were 16) she has given us her time because the visit has exceeded 2 hours and it has been short, the gallery is wonderful not to be missed!

Excellent tour! Our tour guide was so so knowledgeable and shared so much information about the beautiful artwork in a very digestible manner for us novices. He was very organized and helped the group navigate the sometimes crowded areas comfortably. We learned a lot and were able to focus on select pieces rather than being overwhelmed by the vast collection. Highly recommend!
