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.

Best way to see the most important works in Uffizzi, and understand their historical significance. - This is a great way to "cut to the chase" when touring Uffizzi. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about each of the artists and some of their most important works. She guided us through the museum, which was exceptionally packed on that day. She negotiated with other tour guides to be certain we had time to take some photos while she described the history surrounding each piece. I learned a great deal about each of the major artists, the Medici family, and the progression of art over several hundreds of years. I would have known none of the information had our fantastic guide not enlightened us

Always use a guide! - Informative and enjoyable - our art guide, Francesca, showed us the museum’s highlights and pointed out things we never would have known without her guidance. It really enhanced our experience!

A+ tour - This was the best tour that I’ve paid for in the last four visits to Italy. I am not a huge fan of paintings, but this tour guy brought everything to life with all of the back stories. She took the time to speak one on one with each person in the group and made them feel welcome. It was evident that she was passionate about her job and it was infectious. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience :)

Worth it for so many reasons. - This was a fantastic tour of the Uffizi museum. The guide was extremely well versed on the history of Florence and the artwork of the museum. Truly a world class museum celebrating Renaissance masters. On top of the great tour, you don't have to wait in line!

Overcrowded - The guide was excellent. The problem was it was a skip the line tour and we were in line for 40 minutes. It was 40 minutes before we ever saw the first piece of artwork. The museum as usual was fabulous, but there were too many peoplewhich made it un enjoyable for me.

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

I would not recommend... - I would not recommend this tour. Very short (1.5 hr), time wasted a lot, not efficiently planned. Nor worth the money and time spent
