This tour was a good introduction to the Uffizi. It started and ended at the scheduled time, and the meeting point was easy to find. Our guide Matteo was very knowledgeable and professional. He gave us insight into how the political, cultural and economic conditions of Florence influenced artistic development from the pre-renaissance period up to the renaissance. He also explained the evolution of artistic development during this period.

Great Experience!

Anthony_T, Jul 2026

The tour guide was really organized and knowledgeably. Also , she kept things moving at a good pace and was easy to understand.

Worth the time

Norman_F, Jul 2026

Nice tour of the highlights of the museum. Guide was knowledgeable and engaging. Was nice to skip the "non must sees" as we are not art aficionados.

Perfect for a short best-hits Uffizzi experience

Janavi_P, Jul 2026

Great tour, lovely host - Tom - who showed us all the key highlights in a fun way. This tour is perfect if you're a bit short on time but want to experience the gallery's best offerings.

We really enjoyed the way...

Matt_H, Jul 2026

We really enjoyed the way our guide placed the art in the Uffizi in the context of the history of Florence. It helped us appreciate the locality of the art, making it more than just a collection of Renaissance art but reflecting the history of Florence.

We booked this at the...

Jennifer_P, Jul 2026

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.

The day before they...

Sandra_R, Jul 2026

The day before they changed us the date. Fortunately we can do it the next day. The gallery is expectacular and our guida, Anna, was wonderful, she has a lot of knowledge ang do a great explain.

Jennifer_M, Jul 2026

Loved that we had a private guided tour. She was amazing and very knowledgeable about all the artwork that we wanted to see

Nice tour of museum.

Wendy_M, Jul 2026

Short walk from meeting point to museum. Guide very kind and knowledgable. They gave us headphones that plug into a little radio so we could hear the guide perfectly. Tour covered one floor but you could walk to first floor if you wanted after the tour.

We couldn’t go because we...

Elsie_V, Jun 2026

We couldn’t go because we got an email from the city that the gallery was closed due to a broken air conditioner. We were very disappointed.

Guides are Great

Christine_Y, Jun 2026

The Uffizi is crowded, but don’t miss the opportunity to see this amazing museum. There are less expensive ways to visit this gorgeous collection, but I highly recommend taking the Viator small group tour. Our enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide, Julia, brought the works of art to life. We learned both art and Italian history from her stories. She was very kind and inclusive with our grandchildren and tried to make certain they were enjoying and learning from the experience. The communications from Viator and their local representative, City Tour Florence, were excellent.

Worth doing it!

Tatiana_N, Jun 2026

It was an excellent experience! I could not believe how fortunate I was to get a ticket to Uffizi Gallery just the day before the tour. Our tour guide Sylvia was knowledgeable and patient.

Great Tour!

Olga_S, Jun 2026

Our tour guide, Sylvia, did an excellent job explaining the history behind the Medici family and all the great pieces of art displayed inside.

Well organized. Wonderful...

Valerie_P, Jun 2026

Great Tour

Pamela_Q, Jun 2026

Very informative. Guide was very passionate and knowledgeable about the museum. We had the opportunity to see main pieces in the museum because we had a very limited schedule.

Would not recommend. Especially if booking from a cruise.

Lisa_B, Jun 2026

We booked from a cruise that was in a port 75 minutes away with typical traffic. We left from the port three hours before our scheduled Viator tour. Unfortunately, there was a multi-car pileup with three fatalities that completely shut down the highway. We called the Viator office to explain our situation, and they said to get there when we could. We arrived at 10:30 and they gave us our museum tickets but said there would be no tour. There was absolutely no effort to get us onto a later tour, nor would they refund any part of our payment, even though the reason we were late was no fault of our own. They were absolutely no help at all and we were out a significant amount of money. Needless to say, we didn't book any more Viator trips for the rest of the two-week cruise. They lost money on the deal.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about the accident and the unfortunate circumstances that delayed your arrival. As this was a guided group tour, we were unable to delay the scheduled departure or transfer guests to a later tour. However, our team ensured that you still received your museum entrance tickets so you could visit the gallery independently. We understand your disappointment and appreciate your understanding of the operational constraints involved.

Driver from airport to our hotel was great!

PAMELA_P, Jun 2026

The driver was waiting right outside of baggage claim. He was very nice and grabbed my bags. The trip to our hotel was quick and efficient.

Enjoyable and informational

Susan_H, Jun 2026

There is some walking, but a lot of standing in one place. Crowded but lots to look at. Our guide was incredible. Very knowledgeable. I would book with this company again. So much information in a small amount of time. Can’t say enough about how much we learned.

A Very good guide and a...

Petra_L, Jun 2026

A Very good guide and a very nice tour in the uffizi gallery , we enjoyed it very much. Grazie mille!

It was long winded. Not for us.

Elizabeth_L, Jun 2026

This was not the tour for me and my family. The guide was very knowledgeable but spent so much time on every painting that we were frankly turned off. I would rather have spent less time on each painting and seen more. The tour ended very abruptly and by that time we were all exhausted.

Highly recommend

Shirin_M, Jun 2026

Renata was excellent! Highly recommend. The Ufizi is so large and it is helpful to have a guide who goes through the highlights and shares information you would never know on your own or through an audio guide. I don't know if all guides are the same, I'm sure each of them is different, but Renata was great!

Wonderful and...

Vivian_S, Jun 2026

Wonderful and knowledgeable guide. You could see her passion for the history and artwork being shown. The Uffizi is large enough where a guide is definitely helpful. Would highly recommend.

A Fantastic Tour

MildredZarah_G, May 2026

The Uffizi could get overwhelming without someone to show you the highlights, but Natalia was such a great, knowledgeable guide who made it digestible for us. This is a great tour to book if you’re short on time but want to see the best of the museum.

We loved the museum, but...

Patrick_d, May 2026

We loved the museum, but unfortunately our guided tour, led by Laura, felt extremely rushed. It also seemed she was focussing on the topics we weren't particularly interested in, such as other facts about Florence in general. We would have loved to hear about the art from an artistic point of view, such as how it was made and what it resembles.

Our experience today...

Maureen_L, May 2026

Our experience today with Ana was fabulous. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about the art works. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about these master pieces from her. Our only problem was other group tours met on the street so we were a little late joining the group as we were looking on the street for our guide and group, not realising it was in an office.

A lot of time was spent...

Stephen_Y, May 2026

A lot of time was spent waiting in lines. Only a few rooms on the upper level were covered . The guide knew the material but not very enthusiastic.

Florence tour

Jeanne_B, May 2026

Our guide was lovely but thr tour was eay too detailed. I studied art history and found it interesting but I could see others were overwhelmed with the detail .

Want to learn some art history?

Kaili_H, May 2026

I learned so much art history on this tour which really allowed me to understand the art and their displays throughout the whole of the museum. Highly recommend. Our guide was great, but I cannot remember his name. Please tell him thank you!

The museum was crowded,...

Conchita_L, May 2026

The museum was crowded, but the tour guide, was excellent and personable. She took us through the crowds very efficiently and made sure we stayed together. We were able to see the works of art close and from different perspectives.
