This tour was great! The Uffizi is a must do tour. Having a guide is also a must. So much to see, so having a guide makes the most of it. Our guide, Rachael, is amazing! Very friendly, knowledgeable, & lively. We learned so much from her explanations of each of the artworks. Rachael ran the tour like a college class. Asking questions, answering our questions, and making sure we got the most from the tour. We loved her passion for the artwork and history of it. Grazie Rachael!

The tour was great but we had to wait 90 minutes to enter the Ufizi. Hardly "skip the line". Our guide did an excellent job filling the time with interesting tidbits about Florence so it wasn't terrible.

Tour with Rachelle itself was great- she's very informative and knowledgable.....but it was not a skip the line tour. Waited over an hour in line. Title of tour is deceptive

Dear Viator Customer Service center,
I am writing to formally request an immediate resolution regarding a serious issue with my booking for the Uffizi Museum private tour on October 4th.
I reserved a private tour scheduled for 4:00 PM that day through Viator. However, when The Green Tour contacted me for confirmation, they discovered that their system only received a booking for 10:00 AM, not the 4:00 PM slot I originally reserved. As a result, there was no tour guide available for the private tour in the afternoon.
While The Green Tour has allowed us to use the already purchased admission tickets, they stated they cannot refund the tour guide fee because the payment was processed by Viator. They directed me to request the refund directly from Viator.
This discrepancy and lack of service are unacceptable. Please prioritize handling my refund for the private tour guide part immediately. I expect a prompt confirmation of your process and timeline for the refund.
Thank you for your urgent attention to this matter.

Absolutely worthwhile to have a guide and to buy tickets ahead. Renata was very knowledgeable in art history. Wear comfortable shoes. Marble floors are beautiful but hard.
Emma_R, Sep 2025
This was our first time at the Uffizi Gallery, and our guide, Guido, made it unforgettable! We chose a short tour to fit our schedule, but he was so efficient and ensured we saw all the key highlights without ever feeling rushed. Guido was personable and charismatic, with an incredible depth of knowledge that brought every piece to life. The tour was both informative and immersive, he truly made it a memorable experience. Highly recommend!

On the day of the tour due to unexpected and unfortunate circumstances we could not attend the tour. We requested a refund and they refused but the reason I am leaving a one star review is not for that reason but what we found out later that day.
On the first Sunday of every month the Uffizi is free to enter. Our tour, which was the first Sunday of the month, cost us more than $220 dollars which is the same value as it would be the following Tuesday, a day which is not free entry to the museum. This “experience” no matter what day is priced the same and the idea that they are capitalising on a day which is free for entry is ludicrous to me.
I reached out to both Viator and to the organisers of the tour as we fell ill at the time of the tour and received a reply saying they were leaving the meeting point then. I followed up with them an hour later when I found out that the Uffizi was free for the day in question and both companies ghosted me.
I am beyond disappointed and appalled. To charge us one of the ticket’s value to cover the guide I would’ve welcomed but the fact we are down $220+ on a day that was free entry to the museum when we couldn’t even make the tour is bizarre and unfair.
I wish I could rate this experience lower. I would avoid using Viator as they originally corresponded to say they want to give the best customer service experience possible and then ghosted my emails since. Lastly, please know if you’re visiting the Uffizi the first Sunday of the month it is free entry!

Very informative and interesting!! Our tour guide was amazing and so insightful! We really appreciated her depth of knowledge.
eleanor_h, Aug 2025
Beautiful gallery. So many artists to see. Even the walls and thefloors have works of art
Difficulty finding where to meet the guide only because no one we asked knew the name of those drinking fountains
Our guide was very good
ANNA_B, Aug 2025
You get headphones and they are very uncomfortable and painful, and your legs get super sore and tired, but everything else is amazing and it’s super pretty
Katie_T, Jun 2025
This is a scam there was no skipping the line. You meet at a far location have to walk there and then wait in the line. The museum was free and open to all on this day. We were left 2 times by 2 different guides before it began. Do not do this one huge waste of time and money.
Cathi_R, May 2025
Best way to learn about and have time to visit some of the museum's most famous paintings (and even some sculptures), led by a knowledgeable tour guide!
Melissa_P, May 2025
Excellent tour. Our guide was exceptional. There is so much to see it was less overwhelming having a knowledgeable guide focus on the highlights.
Beverley_H, May 2025
Whether you love art or not this tour is definitely worth doing! So informative to hear about the works of art, who painted them and the details both inside and outside of the painting. Our tour guide Rachel
, who was a teacher of art history was excellent! She knew all the small details and stories around each piece. We found it all fascinating.
Reid_P, Apr 2025
We had a great experience with Eduardo who was very helpful in getting us to the museum and adapting even with a huge Easter parade that was in the planned path of our tour. He showed us the highlights in about 90 minutes and was very informative and entertaining. Would recommend!
Lisa_M, Apr 2025
EDUARDO was a personable and very knowledgeable guide. He knew much about the sculptures and paintings inside the Uffizi.
Cai_C, Dec 2024
There was some confusion on the time of the tour in the beginning but it got resolved very soon thanks for the company’s flexibility in urgent matters.
The tour guide Hilary was extremely knowledgeable and passionate. Absolutely love the tour with her!
Annika_M, Oct 2024
Rachel was great!! So knowledgeable and passionate about the museum! We enjoyed every minute!! Loved it!
Kathleen_E, Sep 2024
Missed connection with tour guide……no way mentioned to catch up.
Went on our own, so crowded couldn’t get in to see
many exhibits.
Andrea_C, Sep 2024
Our guide was excellent - very knowledgeable and informative. We heard, as we walked to the Uffizi, about the history of Florence. Then she gave us so much interesting information about dozens of artists in the gallery. She pointed out details and explained their significance. We learned so much and we really appreciated her time with us. A very enjoyable experience. We were so glad that we had booked a guide - it added so much to our visit.
Donald_S, Sep 2024
The guide was fantastic!! The guide was very knowledgeable in art history and appreciation. Plus her English was very good.
Maxine_T, Sep 2024
Loved the detail Filippo went into on this tour. He was very informative & knowledgeable about art history, bringing the pictures to life for us. Thank you
Sharon_W, Jun 2024
The sculpture explanations and art history that our guide Emanuela gave us were very interesting. It was unfortunately very crowded which took a little away from the experience
We would recommend this tour to others
Annemarie_N, May 2024
Vera is an excellent tour guide. We learned so much and now understand a lot more about Renaissance art. She pointed out important details as we walked to the Uffizi and referred back to them later in the tour. As the Uffizi gallery is always very crowded I wouldn’t have known what to look at or understood important details and history without Vera.
Valerie_b, May 2024
I liked the history and cultural discussion of the paintings. Wish there was more time to view the Botticelli paintings.
bferris52, May 2024
Bad experience, We has skip the line tickets, we waited 2 hours to get in. Couldn’t wait to get out, couldn’t understand the guide. I would like a refund
Patricia_W, Apr 2024
Would never do this again. Our group had to wait 1-1/2 hours in line to enter despite our skip the line tour status. Big problem with someone over selling tickets. It’s more of a zoo than a museum. Hundreds and hundreds of people were cramming every room at once…it was suffocating and surely a fire hazard in gallery rooms… getting shoved, pushed and stepped on was insane. It was a claustrophobic experience! Couldn’t see art well, let alone photograph. Rude people everywhere. Tour guide was going to cut tour from 2 hours to 30 minutes bexatse if long wait to get in and because she said she had another tour to do. When many of us demanded our money back the company found another guide to take her next tour. She was nice but hard to understand her English and her detail and history of artworks were too complicated, too long, and hard to follow.
John_R, Apr 2024
Excellent guide; highly recommend this tour and skip the line to see the Uffizi Gallery; very easy to find the starting point; solid advice on enjoying the Gallery after the tour was over.
Jeffrey_B, Sep 2023
I liked the tour and history behind the art. The guide had a lot of information but wasn't always easy to understand his English. The place was crowded and thus confusing in a group. The visit is worthwhile, though not likely "top of the list"
Alex_K, Aug 2023
Definitely go to the gallery, but definitely don't go through this tour. Very unorganized and unprofessional.
