Traveler reviews
Make the Most of Your Uffizi Gallery Experinece!
Our guide Caterina was superb! She provided us an incredible education in the Medici family art collection and provided such detailed insights into the Michelangelo and Bottocelli paintings. Don’t miss this tour!
Mary, the guide, was the key to a successful trip to the Uffizi.
We were a small family group of four. We were met on time and we entered very smoothly as the queues for un booked tickets was huge, Our guide was Mary. She certainly knew her subjects and gave clear and interesting insights into many of the art works. We liked the way she used her IPad to highlight minute detail that we would have definitely missed. Mary is a credit to her company and we highly recommended her. If you get her you will be very fortunate.
Disappointed! Tour was canceled 90 minutes beforehand.
Very disappointingly, we didn’t get to go on this tour. Apparently you are not aware of this. The tour was canceled 90 minutes before the start time.😥 With such late notice, we had no other way to experience the Uffizi Gallery. The reason for the cancelation was supposedly that it was out of tourist season and we we were the only people who had booked the tour. This is impossible to believe since Florence was packed! Furthermore, we met another couple in the morning who were going on the same tour. I would rather have been told that the tour had to be canceled due to some personal issue on the part of the tour operator. The excuse given was implausible. Even if only 2 people book for a tour (which was not the case), it should still be operated. Canceling only 90 minutes ahead of time is poor business practice. Despite our disappointment at missing out on seeing the Uffizi masterpieces, we loved Florence and did not let this unfortunate cancelation dampen our spirits. Additionally, I sent TripAdvisor a question about the tour the night before it was supposed to take place but I received no response - also disappointing.
An art appreciation experience
Our tour guide Silva was great. She was prompt, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The background and provenance of the art was fascinating and transformed our experience from one of simple awe to an art appreciation / information experience. We highly recommend this tour
Uffizi Gallery in September
The guide was very knowledgeable. She helped us understand the art and the progression of art through the ages. This guide made a crowded museum more of a happy experience.
