Wonderful tour by Laura Sensi. We learned so much! Come with questions, Laura has answers
Great tour, highly recommend the small group experience
Lucy is knowledgeable and personable. The pace of the tour was just right, not rushed. but not too slow. Thank you, Lucy!
Best way to see Uffizi
Do not do the Uffizi without Sara G. She was, by far, our favorite tour guide over our 8 days in Italy. She was so knowledgeable and kept our small group engaged. Because of her we booked another LivTour back in Rome.
Uffizi Gallery Small Group Tour
Our Uffizi Gallery tour was led by Babi. She was wonderful and has a very calming and engaging presence about her. With the time we had with her, the information she shared really gave us the opportunity to appreciate and understand the many artworks throughout the gallery. Next time we're in Florence, we wouldn't hesitate to take a second Uffizi Gallery tour with her to explore a different section of the gallery.
Private Tour a Must for Young Kids
Was able to work with LivTours and do a combination Uffizi Gallery and Accademia Gallery (statue of David) tour in one morning. Such a relief to have them handle tickets and such and maximize our time. Brenda was such a kind and friendly tour guide. Even with our tickets and Brenda we waited in line a bit but that might be inevitable in Florence. Some activities to keep the kids busy while we were waiting in line would’ve made this an even more stellar tour. The tour guides really make the experience but I also truly appreciated that LivTours was able to work with us in terms of creating private experiences and work within our vacation schedule.
