Uffizi and Accademia Highlights - We had a marvelous, small group tour led by Camila. She was quite pleasant and was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic regarding the history of Florence and art. Well worth the time!

Great Tour - Our guide was an artist herself which really added to our experience. She was so knowledgeable of all the paintings and statues we saw. The skip the line portion is invaluable. We saw so much more due to that. I absolutely recommend this tour.

Great! - Our guide was great! She delved into the paintings and statues, sharing insights about techniques and how painting styles evolved over the centuries. Plus, skipping the queues was a real bonus!

A Must See for Art Lovers - Excellent tour. Unfortunately our patient, sweet and extremely knowledgeable Japenese guide was difficult to understand at times. This is one incredibly lovely tour for art lovers and those of us that want to experience the joy of gazing at masterpieces from Italian artists. The Academia was wonderful but the Uffizi was nothing short of magnificent. Oh, there also should be headphones or ear devices for the Uffizi. Even when I could understand our guide, it was very hard to hear.

Perfect your of highlights - Visiting the two museums was a great experience. Seeing the highlights was the right amount for us. We enjoyed a light lunch on the Uffizi terrace after our visit. The only reason this review was not given five stars is due to the fact that the meeting spot was changed and we were not notified. Lucky for us, another tour guide was out to find us and did. This was not because of our tour guide, it was because of the business (Viator) we booked through.

Great artwork - Our guide did not speak English very well; it was an English speaking tour. Kiyoko was very knowledgeable about all the artwork, but she obviously didn’t know how to guide a group (only 7 people). She was not at the meeting place timely and did not have a banner with the tour name as you said she would. I finally found her at the right place, 10 minutes late, when I had been at the time specified but went and looked elsewhere. During the tour she would just wander off into another room without announcing something like “Follow me, we’re going in here now.” I had to ask her 3 times to stop wandering somewhere without telling us what she was doing and to follow her. She needs training on how to be a guide. But she is very knowledgeable.

David was fantastic but tour was disappointing - First of all, the guide was late and we were frantic thinking we missed our tour. When she showed up we had a very hard time understanding her. She was Japanese with an Italian accept so the combination over the radios made it really difficult in the crowds to hear what she was saying. The David was my main focus and he did not disappoint!!!! WOW!! The other thing we really wanted to see was the Medusa painted on a shield but the tour was over and we were told that time had run out and we weren’t able to see it. That was really disappointing. The tour was disappointing to say the least. I think our guide was having a bad day but it would have been great to have been able to understand her better.
