Skipping the line was great, but the tour guide was very difficult to understand. Her English was not great.

Guide was very passionate about art. Tour was good, we saw the most important things in the gallery but everything was done very quickly. The best thing about this tour is probably that you skip the HUGE line at the Uffizi. Would do it again.

Our guide did not show up due to some sort of train delay. So we were late in getting started and as far as skipping the line, that didn't happen by the time our next guide showed. However, that guide was great and the tour was worth doing.

The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, although it was quite difficult to hear him in most parts of the gallery as it was very crowded and there were lots of other tours going on.

Knowledgeable guide, didn't try to do too much, left time to explore museum on own.

Skip the queue suited us very well as we were a bit tired and not used to the heat. Everything worked out well - the guide was very good. The gallery is so busy though, with so many tours going on, that it is difficult to hear everything and to keep together. Some tours had guide microphones and indivual earpieces for the group members. This may have been better. Good tour overall.

Our guide was very knowledgeable, and we enjoyed her presentation. However, our group was quite large--she did apologize for this--and we were one of the few groups not provided with wireless headsets. Consequently, it was difficult to hear the guide over the noise from all of the other people in the gallery.

Skipping the line was great, as was the guide.

Good guide, interesting stories. Tour was a little bit to short 1.5 hours. A 2 or 2.5 hour tour would have been more convenient and we would have seen more things with the guide.

The guide was very informative and friendly and we were glad we made the effort to go!

We definitely got more out of the visit with the guide than we would have on our own. He focused on a relatively small number of paintings but helped us recognize and understand the development in style over time. He showed up on time and knew his topic. We took the 16.30 tour, which left very little time for the rest of the museum before closing.

It was good but a bit too brief for the price.

We had a great trip to the Uffizi. We were really lucky to have a small group and did not wait at all to enter the gallery. Our guide was wonderful - passionate and knowledgeable about art and able to share this with the group in a way that made sense to the art novice. At times it was difficult to hear, but I think this is just the nature of a busy museum like the Uffizi, and our guide tried hard to overcome this.

The Uffizi is definitely worth visiting. The quantity and quality of the artwork is second to none. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. However, she did not have a strong voice, so at times it was difficult to hear her. The museum is quite crowded and noisy. I would suggest reserving the earliest time slot you can get. This way, at the end of the tour, you will have ample time to explore the museum on your own. We had a late afternoon time slot, and by the time the tour ended, we barely had time to look around before closing time.
