Wonderful tour by Laura Sensi. We learned so much! Come with questions, Laura has answers
Lucy is knowledgeable and personable. The pace of the tour was just right, not rushed. but not too slow. Thank you, Lucy!
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.
Dear Wally, The fact that you were so impressed by her that you immediately booked another LivTour in Rome speaks volumes about the quality of her tours. It must have been such a rewarding experience, and it’s great that you got to carry that enthusiasm with you throughout the rest of your journey. A guide like Sara G. really makes a lasting impact!
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.
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.
we had 1-day private tour in Florence and 3-day tour in Rome. Best experience ever! All 4 tour guides are very great. All of them are knowledgeable, kind, and professional. My kids love the trip which is the most important KPI. The only suggestion is: for added service, the company should differentiate the charge for adults and kids.
“She was awesome, she really knew her stuff!” this is what my family and I kept repeating after our tour with Eleanor through the Uffizi. We felt so grateful we had her as such a knowledgeable personal guide or else we would have been aimlessly wandering around the museum and missed out on the hidden treasures she showed us. Thank you so much Eleanor. To anyone considering this tour, it is a MUST for Florence! LivTours made it a fun, interesting, and enriching tour.
What a great review you've written of your tour of the Uffizi gallery with Eleanor! Thank you! We love hearing that you feel you would have missed out on so many of the treasures that the Uffizi has to offer, if it hadn't been for Eleanor and all the insight and information she was able to give you. She'll be thrilled to read your review. Thanks again for your wonderful praise and sparkling review. Angelo and Kristin
We got so much out of our Uffizi Treasure hunt tour with LivItaly. With two young children (aged 3 and 6), it worked very well in getting to see key works of art from the masters. The Uffizi is a huge gallery and without the guidance from the excellent Rafaela, we would have been overwhelmed and the children would have easily got bored. With this tour, they got a booklet to fill in and fit items in the gallery, It helped focus us on aspects of the gallery and look in-depth at some of the pieces such as Bottecelli’s Birth of Venus and Leonardo da Vinci's Adoration of the Magi. My eldest daughter was very engaged and Rafaela skilled at educating the children - and us - about the artwork. She has excellent knowledge of the art world being an artist herself and helped us when I asked for recommendations about other things to do in Florence too. Highly recommend. My youngest (3) wasn't as engaged (the tour is recommended for 5 +) but was good to have someone to guide us while I saw to her. We came out far more educated about Renaissance art and very grateful we booked the tour.
Your review is fabulous! Thank you so much for sharing your enjoyment and appreciation of the Uffizzi Gallery tour you took with Raffaella. Creating a treasure hunt using the masterpieces in the gallery is such a great way to get kids to enjoy what they are seeing and to give them fun memories to take home with them. We love hearing that it was just as educational and enjoyable for you parents as well!! We'll be sure to let Raffaella know about your great review and praise. Many thanks, once again Angelo and Kristin
