Informative and Entertaining - Our guide was wonderful! Her insights into the culture of the time and personalities of the artists brought these works of art to life! Wish we could have spent twice the time on this tour, we really enjoyed it. So glad I booked the in-depth tour with an art historian!

Best tour guide ever! - Our guide was amazing! He knew art so well and he helped us learn and relate to it. He knew a lot about the Uffizzi, of course, but he also know about the city and the history. 100% fantastic!

Excellent option for a more in depth tour. - This was a great tour - longer than other options on Viatour. 2.5 hours was a good amount of time. Our guide had a masters degree in art history, and took us from the medieval period through the Renaissance. I have forgotten her name though! She shared the stories and history behind the paintings, especially in relation to the Medici and Florence. We had 12 people in our group which was manageable. The museum was very crowded, but our guide was able to keep us together and we could hear her very well with the headphones. Learning about the personalities and interactions of Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Botticelli and DaVinci was very enlightening. Plus her critique of some of the more famous works and seeing the “mistakes” some of the artists made was very interesting.

Save your money - Our tour guide seemed kind and passionate, but the combination of poor audio equipment, her hurried, broken English, and accent made it difficult for us to follow what she was saying. She spent more time in certain places, but by the end, she began speeding up, and it felt like we missed out on the important galleries. It was as if she rushed through the final parts of the tour just as quickly as she spoke. Felt like a waste of money because everything we got out of it, we read on our own.

Travelers should be... - Travelers should be warned that internet service is unreliable in Florence. We were unable to download the voucher, tour information or directions to the meeting point. Download everything as soon as you can and take screenshots so you don’t have to rely on service. By the way, the museum is enormous. It would take days to see everything.

Fraud - Total fraud! It's not about the corridor at all. He's just being mentioned, from focus. Definitely not recommended
