Traveler reviews
Uffizi Tour
We had a great experience. Livya was a great guide. She was very knowledgeable and fun. Her knowledge of rooms in the Uffizi was very high-level. Would recommend for anyone who wants to see major museums in Florence.
Knowledgeable Art Expert for a Great Museum Tour
Great tour with Raffaela lan (aka Raffi) - she’s Italian-American but raised in Italy with a solid Boston accent which is awesome because she’s a local but with an accent you can perfectly understand which makes focusing on the content and not the interpretation that much easier. She’s SUPER knowledgeable about the art and has a passion for it that is admirable and appreciated as it brings it to life. Lots to see and no shortage of energy. Great experience, thank you!
Amazing 😍
Raffi made the history come to life! We enjoyed every minute!
Fantastic experience at Uffizi
Sylvia was such a wonderful guide! She helped our foursome understand and appreciate Renaissance art in a way we could never have done on our own in what could have been an overwhelming collection. Amidst the crowds we swept through rooms and spaces learning so many amazing facets of the art, Florence, and the Meddici. Grazi mille!
