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!
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.
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.
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
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.
Signed up due to reviews with Elvis. We did not have Elvis as our guide - even though it stated that we did. The sound quality was terrible… the English was difficult to understand at times… I was glad that I read a lot before going. The tour was okay…. Just OK.
Skip the lines, go right to the artworks, hear the history of the place , people and immerse yourself into the times. Guides are the best way to get the most out of the experience. Our guide was a subject matter expert in all those topics.
Excellent Tour with our Guide Katharina. Very symphatic and very informative. She gave us a lot of intersting informations. Tour took 90 minutes and was never boring. Very good organised. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Guide www enthusiastic and knowledgeable but hard to understand. She kept letting her microphone drop- which was frustrating for one in our group that gas hearing problems. I did mention to her several times that we could not hear, but it became awkward after a while to constantly have to stop her and tell her to hold her mic to her mouth She also laughed after about every two sentences, which was a little frustrating We did have a great tour and appreciated the background info
The meeting spot for this tour was pretty vague. With a little asking around I was able to find the correct person-holding-clipboard-handing-out-tickets. Our tour guide was nice enough - her English was easy to understand. However, the pace was odd. We spent excessive time at a handful of paintings. I realize one guide can't cover everything or anticipate our interests... My husband literally took a nap on a bench in the hallway while my daughter and I stood in front of one painting for 20 minutes. The groups around us seemed to move at a more regular pace. I don't regret the booking - an art museum with a guide will always be better than without (for me).
