What a wonderful way to experience the gallery for the first time with little time! Our guide was a local art historian and combined explanations about the Medici and a series of the top known paintings. She was friendly and accessible while also helping us look and think deeply. Very enjoyable way to experience a huge gallery that could easily be overwhelming.

We had a great tour hosted by Patrizia. She was warm and engaging. She did a great job guiding us through the different artworks and sharing interesting facts and insights. We appreciated her enthusiasm in teaching us about the Renaissance art period. Highly recommend.

Dear Guest, Thank you for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed a well-paced and thorough tour, and that our guide made the experience personable while highlighting the most important pieces. Best regards, Things To Do In

Great Experience !

Vinita_D, Apr 2025

We had an amazing experience with the private Uffizi gallery tour organized by - Things to do in. We booked it through Viator. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the art to life with fascinating insights and stories. Skip-the-line access made the visit smooth and stress-free, allowing us to spend more time appreciating the masterpieces. A special mention about the tour manager Mr Achantha, who went out of his way to make the experience so special for us ! Thank you !

This is a must see...

Linda_G, Apr 2025

This is a must see museum; however, seeing it with this wonderful guide helped us to realize the nuances of the developing art techniques by the masters. I had been to the museum before but did not enjoy after long lines and no explanations. This private tour helped us to learn more and see more in the time slotted.

Expert and Flexible

Lisa_L, Sep 2024

Our tour guide was terrific! Not only was he extremely knowledgeable about all of the art pieces, he was very personable as well. And, when we told him we were going to need to end earlier than scheduled, he was very understanding, flexible, and a total pro at still managing to show us everything on the itinerary!

Quick, informative private tour, at a price

William_H, Aug 2024

Chose this tour because of last-minute availability, start time, and duration as we were on a tight schedule in Florence. It was amongst the most expensive (but was 100% private). The meetup was well-coordinated. The guide was prepared, friendly, and knowledgeable. Museum is amazing. I think we finished the tour in less than 90 minutes and were not rushing at all. Stayed in the museum to see a few more highlights, unguided. That was after our guide became the only person on our European vacation to actively solicit a gratuity.

Private, personal art museum experience

Karen_O, Jun 2024

We had a private 2- person tour with an amazing local guide. This is the only way to truly experience the museum, learn about key art pieces, and not have to stress with a self-guided tour and the crowds. Bruce was so friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We truly had the best possible experience!

Amazing experience at the uffizi gallery

thomas_d, Jun 2024

Our guide was amazing. Our family of 5 learned more about renaissance art in 1.5 hours than in all of our other art museum tours. She was extremely knowledgeable and interesting. She made the tour amazing.

Anna is awesome!!

Lisa_A, Jan 2023

Anna, our guide, was exceptional. Her knowledge and humor were truly appreciated. Her care during our visit was anazing, and her depth of knowledge helped us understand the art and history!
