This tour picked out the highlights in the gallery. We were left to spend further time in the gallery at the end. The guide was very informative and friendly. A good way to see and understand some of important pieces of art.

This was a good tour with a knowledgeable guide. There ar e so many works of art to see, it is helpful a guide that can point out major and special pieces and explain them. Definitely worth the guided tour.

Our guide Olivia, Italian and an art historian (also a wine person), was outstanding. She navigated us through the rooms (55 in all, we skipped some of course) with ease, pointed out the highlights, and spoke with intelligence and wit. Three hours felt like half that time, and while she knew we were getting tired towards the end, I would have appreciated another day with Olivia showing us around. I had been told to get a guide for such an ambitious gallery and while we saw people with handset audioguides, I am convinced we did the best thing with the small group Skip the Line.

Paulo was fantastic as judged by our entire family. He really knows his art and was able to make it really interesting to everyone in our family who had varying ages and interest in art. He was able to engage everyone. I will say that it was sometimes hard to hear but we thought that was the equipme

Very knowledgable guide
Obviously with time constraints an edited highlights tour but time to go round independantly after the tour
Quickly into the gallery
Well worth doing no trip to Florence complete unless includes trip to UFfizzi

We toured as a family with an 8 and 9 year old. It was such an interest insight into Florence and the Renaissance. The guide showed us a good selection of artist work and our children were kept interested which is no mean feat given its very tiring walking around the Uffizi.

We were pleased with the tour. The guide was careful and attended well to the group. She was knowledgeable and responded well to questions. She spoke good English. A very positive experience.

My wife and I enjoyed the tour. For us, the guide is always the key element of a tour. Our guide Angelo was very good. He gave a good overview of the articles with good insight but without boring the group. He answered the questions and also asked questions to see if everybody was involved in what is being explained.

FABULOUS 2 hour informative, interesting and inspiring tour of major works in a very crowded and full museum. Francesca was terrific, passionate and well informed about the art. Would not have appreciated the Uffizi or all the work I saw throughout the country in the following month without the in-depth art history lesson we got on this great tour.

This tour is a great way to experience the Uffizi Gallery. Visiting with a guide gives a much deeper understanding and appreciation for the material. Our guide was wonderful and it was great to skip the line.

It was definitely worthwhile doing this tour. The guide Angelo was excellent, very informative and also entertaining. We saw a good range of artwork, and Angelo made it all very interesting and gave us a solid base to build on for our own time in the Uffizi afterwards. I particularly liked the fact that the tour did finish inside the Uffizi with plenty of time for us to go back and see more by ourselves. Only thing was that it wasn't really "skip-the-line", it was more "join-a-shorter-line" behind other tour groups, so it actually took about 15 minutes to get into the Uffizi and get organised to begin the tour, rather than walking straight in.
