Enter Florence’s Uffizi early, then follow a certified guide through Botticelli’s Venus, works by Leonardo and Michelangelo, and other Renaissance highlights. Guides such as Francesca, Ivano, Elisabetta, and Giada bring the art to life in English, French, Italian, or Spanish.
“Francesca was an outstanding tour guide! We met her at the meeting point, she was very easy to find, and much to our surprise me and my husband were the only people signed up for the tour that morning so we had a private tour. Francesca was so knowledgeable and took us to the main points of interest. She navigated the gallery in a way that allowed us to get right up front with the works of art all while respectfully interacting with the other guides with larger groups and allowing us to move around them to get better views.

Start at 8:30 am for a two-hour English guided visit to the Uffizi Gallery. Your semi-private group has no more than eight people, and guides such as Annette, Giacomo, Veronica, and Elisabetta focus on major works, Renaissance stories, and the building’s Medici past.
“Veronica was an amazing guide! Super knowledgeable, friendly, and made the Uffizi feel way more approachable. She shared great stories behind the artworks and kept things interesting the whole time. Definitely made the experience more memorable—highly recommend touring with her!”
Meet your English-speaking guide at 11:30 in Piazza della Signoria for a small-group tour of Palazzo Vecchio. See the Salone dei Cinquecento, Medici rooms, Vasari’s symbols, map room, terraces, and Arnolfo’s Tower. The group is capped at nine, though timing can vary.
“it was a well worth tour. the guide made all the difference with all the little details no guide book writes. she was very friendly and knowledgable.”
Sit back in a vintage motocarrozzetta as an English or Italian speaking guide such as Gilberto, Tommy, or Toni takes you through Oltrarno, San Niccolò, San Miniato al Monte, and Florence’s best viewpoints. Choose a morning or sunset departure, with coffee, local treats, and an optional winery visit.
“Tour excepcional! Gilberto nuestro conductor y guía fue muy simpático y atento.”
Spend the morning with a guide inside Florence’s Duomo complex, including a panoramic stop at the Misericordia Museum. Return in the afternoon for a 90-minute Uffizi visit focused on Botticelli, Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael, and other Renaissance masters.
“Of all of our excursions in Rome, this was the most disappointing. The way the schedule was laid out was quite confusing. It made it appear that the tour went directly to the Uffizi from the Duomo, but that wasn’t the case. The Duomo tour wrapped around 12:30 and the Read more”
