We took this tour to see the Birth of Venus painting. It was magical. The Gallery was extremely crowded but I guess that is to be expected. Loved skipping to the front of the line!

The guide was not adequately informed about the paintings. Poor knowledge is not what one is looking out for in a museum guide.

We're more into architecture than art, so we were not sure whether to skip the gallery tour. It was amazing and well worth it. Great job!

This tour was amazing!

The tour was fast and gave good information, but you barely have time to scratch the surface in the Uffizi. Also, depending on the time of year, if you get out of the tour at 6:30 or later, as we did, it is very dark, and hard to find a taxi, or find your way back to your lodging. Be prepared for that.

This tour was excellent. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable at the Uffizi and we were able to get so much more from the tour with her guidance as opposed to doing the museum on our own.

The Uffizi Gallery is a must if you're traveling to Italy! I'm grateful we decided on this tour - our guide was an art historian and she passionately explained what we were seeing beyond the masterpiece itself. Rival artists, the symbolism, etc. Highly recommend!

A good way of seeing all the main treasures, our guide was very good however the group was large and it was very busy. I would still recommend the tour as trying to negotiate the gallery by yourself to see the really famous pieces would take hours.

Depending on when you go or your level of interest in the history of Renaissance art, you might want to skip this tour. Our booked time was 4:15 and by then the ticket lines were smaller than our group. There were about four groups assembling and entering at the same time and the kerfuffle at the tour group entrance was way more chaotic and crowded than the regular entrance. We had gone shopping before and had to check a bag. Not a problem as far as the museum, but our guide was so anxious to get out of the melee that she left us behind, even though she knew we had gone around the corner to the bag check. We caught up with the group inside, but having been ditched, we felt free to ditch back, and were glad we did. We had made it around the museum catching and appreciating the highlights and caught our group on the way back slogging through Filippo Lippi etc ad nauseam. The Uffizi is wonderful, unique, but to the non-art historian and in the context of Italy as a whole, it's a lot of the same.

Depending on when you go and your appetite for Renaissance art, you might want to skip this tour. Our booking was for 4:15 and by then the line for tickets and regular ticket entry was less than the group tour entry, with four tours assembling and entering at the same time. We had gone shopping and had a big bag to check. No problem with the museum, but our guide abandoned us while we are around the corner at the bag check, apparently desperate to get out of the tour group kerfuffle. We caught up with the tour inside, but having been ditched felt free to ditch back and took off on our own. We were glad we did when we came across our group only about a quarter of the way through, after we had been all around catching and enjoying the highlights. The thing about the Uffizi is that it's the world's greatest collection of a certain kind of art, but that's all it is. You have to really want a big dose of art history to enjoy a mini lecture in every room!

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour as we enjoy art but don't have great knowledge. Luckily we arrived at 4pm when we were advised to be there at 4:15 for a 4:30 start....we were organised as soon as we arrived, through security and starting by 4:30 so make sure you arrive early.

Outstanding tour guide. Very knowledgeable and interesting..
Review by: Vidhi G, September 2017
We had a small group of 5 people total with Monika who gave a splendid tour at the Uffizi Gallery. She explained several important works of art including the history behind the building of the museum itself. We learned plenty and highly recommend this one as it helps having someone knowledgeable like Monika explaining everything.

I really liked this tour! The art in this museum is amazing! The Uffizi is huge and our tour guide did an awesome job of pointing out the key words of art and key points of history. He was very funny and brought the art to life. We took the evening tour and it ends about 20 minutes before closing which we had these 20 minutes to ourselves for free time. I used this time to walk back to see my favorite pieces a second time around and the rooms were completely empty at this time which was incredible. I stood by myself in front of La Primavera and the Birth of Venus and Michelangelo's Doni Tondo. It was surreal to soak it all in. Leonardo's room is absolutely amazing as well. Definitely would recommend this tour.
