1 hourFree Cancellation

The Uffizi Gallery is a must-see in Florence. Built in 1560, it is considered the oldest museum in the world, designed by the renowned Renaissance architect Giorgio Vasari at the request of Cosimo I de' Medici, the Grand Duke of Tuscany. To reinforce the Medici family’s authority, Cosimo created offices to keep his rivals under surveillance, giving rise to the name "Uffizi" (or "offices"). After his death, his eldest son, Francesco I, transformed the building into his private museum, showcasing a valuable art collection. With this tour, you will quickly learn the history of the precious masterpieces preserved in Florence. At the end, take a break at the gallery’s terrace café, enjoy the stunning view of the city, and take the opportunity to capture unforgettable photos.

One of the most important Italian museums and the most visited, it is also one of the largest and best-known in the world and holds a collection of priceless works, particularly from the period of the Italian Renaissance. After the ruling House of Medici died out, their art collections were given to the city of Florence under the famous Patto di famiglia negotiated by Anna Maria Luisa, the last Medici heiress. The Uffizi is one of the first modern museums. The gallery had been open to visitors by request since the sixteenth century, and in 1769 it was officially opened to the public, formally becoming a museum in 1865. See the treasures of the Uffizi Gallery with a private guide. Your experience will be personalized especially for you, allowing you to see the works of art that most interest you.

Winner 2026 Florence Sunset Food & Wine Tour by Eating Europe

Lana_G, May 2026

A taste of Florence where the locals eat!

A wonderful food tour away from the tourist traps of Florence. Great food, awesome wines and terrific guide. Our only regret was to not take the tour on our very first day in Florence.. the restaurants we ate at were much better than on the side of the river where the Duomo is.

Skip-the-line Duomo Terraces and Dome Climb Tour in Florence

Grace_Y, May 2026

Worth it!

This tour was a necessity in my opinion. Given the sheer number of people in the general waiting in line to get into Santa Maria del Fiore, it is definitely worth it to have the skip the line option. Chiara, our tour guide, gave us historical insights important to understanding this magnificent church and the people who played their roles in building it. I didn’t expect the tour of the church museum but it was also a most informative part of the tour. The inside of the cathedral and of course the Duomo was magnificent. The climb up the many steps was definitely a challenge - beside the number of steps, the steepness and narrowness in some parts definitely warrant extra care. Some may also find the climb and descent a bit dizzying as well. But if you can withstand these factors, the view from the top is very rewarding! I definitely would recommend this tour.

We only had a day to spend in Florence--we did the Duomo on our own, then had a great walk through the squares, over the Arno, back across the Ponte Vecchio and ending with David at the Accademie.
