Small-Group Guided Uffizi and Accademia Museums + Walking Tour - Skip-the-line

Our guide Caterina was super knowledgable (I think she has a Phd in Art History?) I learned so much, and having an expert guide through these two museums was invaluable.

Leonardo was an excellent guide! His knowledge of history of art and his command of English were remarkable

During the week that we visited Florence the Accademia was free to the public but closed to tour guides. As a result, our combined Uffizi and Accademia Walking Tour had to be limited to the Uffizi. Fortunately our tour guide did such an excellent job that our disappointment was minimal. His history training was apparent as he responded early on to a question from a member of our group and seeing our response, he decided to orient the tour accordingly. The examples he showed us in numerous paintings and the historical connections clearly demonstrated for us the transitions from medieval to Renaissance art. His explanations of the original building added to our enjoyment. All in all, it was a wonderful morning.

Our small group tour of the Uffizi and Accademia was exactly what we had hoped for. Our tour guide, Francesca, was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable about Florence, the two museums we visited and the art we viewed there. We had 9 people in our group which helped to move through the very crowded museums. Having skip the line access was absolutely essential to avoid a very long wait in the lines that formed outside the museums. It was also very helpful to have earphones to hear our tour guide so that while she was telling us about a particular painting, we could walk around the room and look at other pieces of art but still hear what she had to say. It was also crucial to have a well informed guide who could point out the most prominent pieces at the museum as there is a lot to see. Francesca also provided us with the history and other information about Florence as we walked between the museums. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you are lucky and get Francesca as your tour guide!

Very informative tour. Guide was extremely knowledgeable and very mindful as to the groups needs. Would highly recommend

This visit to the Uffizi was awesome, not only because of the history but because of our small group tour guide, Claudia! Very professional, personable, and knowledgeable, and friendly! Thank you so much.

Leonardo was our guide for the Academia and Uffizi tours. Having been to Florence numerous times, this was our first tour. He was excellent and knowledgeable. Highly recommended. Thanks Leonardo.

Our guide was able to make the most efficient use of our time... showing us all the most appealing works of art. For each one she possessed a depth of knowledge that she was able to communicate to us (novices in the subjects). My wife and i were thoroughly impressed by this tour... especially due to our experienced guide.

Giacomo was a consummate tour guide. Extremely knowledgeable, entertaining and interesting. I feel like I splurged a bit and that I got what I paid for. My mother had said beforehand that the art was the most interesting and important part of her trip to Italy, and so I am extremely grateful to have taken this tour.

Good guide. She hit all the highlights and added stories of the artists that held our interest. Very timely and kind with humor
