This was our 3rd visit to Uffizi and our best. We went in the earliest time slot so it wasn't too busy. Also we loved the terrace on the 3rd floor and enjoyed cappuccinos with the lovely setting and view. I would not waste $$ on headphones - very limited and not too informative. Instead ask chatGPT to prepare an itinerary for you based on how long you plan to visit. Ciao!

Myself and my friend had a great tour of Academia. It was concentrated on the history of Michelangelo given it was only an hour duration but we enjoyed that and understanding this amazing artist in more detail and centring around the build of David. I recall it was Vera who was our guide in English. She was very good and could be clearly understood. Still left us the opportunity to explore the valley further after the tour.

There was an unexpected change and my tour time was moved up, i was frustrated and the staff gave me a great plan so that i can see as much of the attractions as possible for the few hours i was staying in Florence. Our guide was such a great one. Her English (American accent) was very easy to understand, she was energetic and engaging. She talked for 90 minutes straight and i listened very carefully for 90 minutes straight. I couldn't stop listening. The information i got, mix of religion, history, economy and art was outstanding. Analyzing the art was exactly to my taste. Definitely recommend!

I have fallen in love with the Uffizi Museum. The Accademia is also great but the expanse and variety of Uffizi is just something else!

The venue was beautiful, the guide was knowledgeable - it was crowded but they way the groups stagger with one another naturally didn't make the crowds overwhelming... great price and the instructions for meeting points and directions were clear.

This review is for Martha our guide and the Academia. Wonderful experience. Our experience at the Ufizzi was not good. The guide's English was not good, her voice was hardly heard, her microphone had a lot of interference, we decided to leave the tour before it ended.

Top things to do in Florence

Step into one of the world’s most iconic museums, where art, history, and innovation come together. Founded by the Medici family in 1581, the Uffizi Gallery is home to masterpieces that define the Italian Renaissance, including Botticelli’s Primavera and Michelangelo’s Doni Tondo.

Reopening on 21 December 2024, the Vasari Corridor is a walkway connecting the Uffizi Gallery to the Pitti Palace. Built in 1565, this 700-meter-long "air tunnel" once allowed the Medici family to traverse the city in privacy and safety.
