Top Florence Airport & Hotel Transfers - page 6

We booked this at the last minute - deciding the night before the tour to see if there was any guided tours of the Uffizi available. With six in our group, we were glad to get a spot. An unexepected traffic jam caused our guide to be late for our tour, but this was not an issue. The staff called us the morning of the tour to confirm that we knew where to meet them -- and that was a welcome change from previous tours with other companies. The meeting spot was next to a bar which allowed us to get breakfast and cafe before the tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and personable. She taught us about history and placed the art in context of that. She helped us see distinctive differences between pieces and artists - things we would not have been able to pick up on without her. We were able to ask a lot of questions and learned a lot in our 1.5 hours with her. She also made recommendations for other things to see after our official tour ended and shared some ideas about where to visit in Florence.

Don’t bring food or beverages as they will be confiscated much like in airport security, and make sure you don’t lose your ticket before you scan into the museum. Also make sure you check out the musical instruments which are tucked away in the beginning of the museum

Our group was small, which was great for a relaxing evening. We had one wine stop, one olive oil stop, and then walked around town with our guide to some of the top areas. We learned about some history and enjoyed everyone company. We didn’t need headsets since it was only 4 of us and the guide, which was great! The wine was delicious, we had some photo stops, and a one of a kind olive oil tasting which we would not have thought to do otherwise.
