Great tour of 2 galleries - history was interesting. Highlight was seeing the statue of David - but worth experiencing all aspects of the galleries.

    Uffizi through the eyes of a great tour guide...

    Denise_L, Oct 2026
    The Uffizi Gallery/St. Mark's Basilica tour was wonderful! Our guide, Valentina was so knowledgeable and had a wonderful sense of humor. She was very engaging. My family and I came out of the tour with so much information, and had many discussions. thank you, Valentina!!!

    Uffzi and Academia Guided Tour

    We learned so much about the art and the artists from our excellent tour guide Sophia. Sophia took good care of us and paced the tour well for the needs of our group.

    Excellent choice to the highlights of two major art museums of Florence in a short time

    Jan_W, Jul 2026
    I only had one day in Florence and was looking for a way to get an immersive experience in the important art museums in Florence. Both guides Mary in the Uffizi and Vera in the Accademia were well-informed and passionate about the art. Very good touring experience and an in-depth look at the spectacular art!

    Both tour guides were...

    Marissa_C, Jun 2026
    Both tour guides were very knowledgeable. They were amazing. They also gave us good recommendations for food and other tips for around Florence. I would 100% recommend this. Group one to the Uffizi had 9 people and group 2 had around 20. Still managed to hear the tour guides quite well. My family enjoyed the tour as well!

    Florence tour

    Great to get to important works without standing in long lines. Guide informative and friendly. :):)

    Great tour, would book again!

    Nathan_E, Jun 2026
    Great small group tour, very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Tour was as exactly as advertised, I would recommend and would book again. Communication with and by the company was excellent!

    Our group was made up of...

    Dayle_B, Jun 2026
    Our group was made up of a mother & daughter, my husband and me and another couple. Marco was absolutely amazing! He was so knowledgeable, kept us engaged, and tailored the tour of the Uffizi Gallery based on what we individually wanted to see, but also made sure to show us the highlights. We then walked to the Accademia Gallery where we viewed more art, a collection of pianos and then for the grand finale, The David! This is one tour that my husband and I can't stop talking about and referring back to. I would highly recommend this, Marco, and would likely do it again.

    Been before but better...

    Kim_D, Jun 2026
    Been before but better this time. Franchisco was an amazing guide and so knowledgeable. This is a MUST tour

    Outstanding small group tour

    Nick_I, Jun 2026
    Our guide did a great job of blending history and interesting facts. Great pace to seeing both of these places. Highly recommend!

    Excellent Tour

    Nicole_P, May 2026
    The tour was perfect. We had limited time in Florence and really wanted to see the Uffizi and the Accademia. Because of Mirella’s expertise and organization, we were able to see everything and also enjoy a nice, informative walk in between the two locations. Mirella is a wealth of information and has a wonderful flow in her tour style. We had the most amazing day in Florence because of Mirella.

    Timing is Everything

    Joseph_A, May 2026
    The Uffizi was overrun with American tourists, and others. No one was intentionally rude, but it was almost impossible to view a painting or sculpture without having to stand on your toes, angle your head or squat. It was simply "unviewable" in the normal sense of the term. Mary, our guide, was excellent, and should be commended for making the best choices so she could isolate us as much as possible with selected paintings, sculpture, etc. We made a mistake in selecting the 12 Noon tour, where school children on tours, and tourists from around the world converge. This is my second trip to the Uffizi. I fell in love with it the first time; this was a stark reminder to schedule my next tour early in the morning or late in the day.

    Insight into great artists’ masterpieces!

    SueAnne_T, May 2026
    Need to walk about 10-15mins between the two attractions. Started as a small group of 7pax at Uffizi but increased to 16pax at the Accademia. Only small drink bottles are allowed into both places

    Must do better

    Anthony_C, May 2026
    There are a lot of people visiting the galleries and it is difficult not to get separated from the speaker and to look at the pictures/statues as she speaks. You should be made aware of what you are going to see and also what you are not going to see.

    Uffizi and Accademia in half day

    Karen_P, Apr 2026
    Good for those looking at the main points of interest in the 2 museums. Perfect for us as we had limited time. Well worth it!

    Hits all the highlights.

    nancy_p, Apr 2026
    It was what we were looking for. It’s a quick run through both museums. If you want to spend more time and go into the individual rooms, this tour is not for you. But if you want to go to both museums in a short period of time and hit the highlights then this is perfect. You do get to spend as long as you want in the Academia.

    Well worth it

    Heather_G, Apr 2026
    Well worth the money to have a guide and to be able to skip the lines. The guides are so knowledgeable and are eager to answer any questions.

    Good taste of art history and influence of Florence

    Nicole_H, Apr 2026
    Fantastic tour. Great historical lessons of Florence, the Medici family, Art History and the Renaissance. Sylvia was particularly amazing as our tour guide in both locations.

    Not enough time in the Uffizi

    Patrick_H, Mar 2026
    The guide was very educational about the evolution of art/history during the Renaissance. We learned a lot, however we would have like to have seen more pieces, there just was not enough time for both the history lessons and the art viewing. And then there was travel time between the two museums. I would recommend separating these into two separate tours, in order to devote more time, especially in the Uffizi .

    Fabulous Tour

    Suzen_O, Feb 2026
    This was a fabulous tour of Uffizi and Academia. The art of Uffizi did not disappoint, masterpieces. Mariela was an excellent guide. Thorough but not overpowering. Highly recommend.

    Stephanie_T, Jan 2026
    Francesco was an amazing guide! We learned so much about the art and the history behind it. And the walk between the 2 museums allowed for an abridged walking tour as well. And he didn’t leave us without giving us recommendations for food in the area.

    Excellent tour. Very...

    Steve_E, Jan 2026
    Excellent tour. Very informative with history and meaning behind the museum , the art, the city. Highly recommend

    Must see!...

    Rachel_L, Dec 2025
    Must see! Our tour guide was phenomenal! David up close was amazing. Touring with our guide made our experience effortless.

    Excellent guide

    Katherine_M, Nov 2025
    The exhibit was beautiful. I wish we had more time to see the artwork. We felt a little bit rushed. We did wait 45 minutes in line even with our tour prepaid. It was a little challenging, finding the meeting spot. But overall a wonderful tour and exceptional tour guide

    Good tour

    Annie_M, Nov 2025
    Very good tour good information. Small Tour was perfect way to see the gallery. Lots of great stories behind the art

    Great tour and tour guide!

    David_B, Oct 2025
    Probably the best tour of our trip! Guide was extremely knowledgeable and the Accademia Gallery was my favorite, but very crowded. Uffizi also amazing. Tour guide was the key!
