Both tour lady are knowledgeable in history, art and Florence City, They are also passionate of their work. Both ladies are not rush to finish the tour instead they took time share their knowledge and answer questions. The morning tour lasted more than 3 hours. The afternoon tour lasted more than 2 and half hours.”

We really enjoyed the tour to Accademia and Uffizi, both guides were really good! Very interesting excursion, we really appreciated that during the tour in Uffizi we got not just a basic overview but deep and interesting analysis of selected works. Highly recommended tour!”

We really enjoyed this excellent tour that has part 1 in the Galleria dell’Academia to see the breathtaking David by Michaelangelo followed by a wonderful tour of the city center. Christiano was our guide and he was excellent! He was so passionate and dedicated, we couldn’t believe our luck. The second portion was skip the line entrance to the Uffizi Museum. We got to see the most important highlights and our tour guide Sarah was informative and helpful linking the artists and explaining the evolution of the art style. We had a little over an hour to grab lunch at a place of our choosing. I highly recommend this tour. It’s starts at 9:00AM and ends around 3:30 PM.”

This two part tour was great. Both guides were interesting to listen to. Mics and headphones were a great way to stay engaged without having to stand on top of each other. Both guides were very knowledgeable. We had maybe an hour break between the tours to allow us time to get a bite to eat. The skip the line passes were great. We still had to wait in line for security, but the lines were definitely shorter than if we didn't have these tickets. So worth the extra price. .”

Highly impressed with the caliber of Annette and Kiria our tour guides. While the day was a long one, the passion, knowledge and enthusiasm of both guides made you want to stay forever! We learned so much, saw amazing art and loved the ramble through Florence and seeing things we didn’t know were even there. Highly recommend! Thank you Annette and Kiria!”

Marilena is passionate and in love with her city, it's history art and conveys that in her tours. She's very knowledgeable, friendly and a great story teller!! We were lucky enough to get her for both the Accademia and the Uffizi. Wish she could have been our guide the entire trip”

This is a must do in Florence! There are two parts, morning and afternoon. The morning tour is David and walking tour of Florence. The afternoon is the Uffizi tour. I had two different tour guides, Milina in the morning and Annette in the afternoon. Both were wonderful, very knowledgeable. Explained everything clearly!”

My husband and I spent 3 full days in Florence and booked this tour as the main event on one day. The tour started out with seeing the Accademia, where the Statue of David was the highlight. Seeing the statue in real life was so surreal and amazing! When we left the museum, we continued on a walking tour seeing the Duomo, Bell Tower, Ponte Vecchio, etc. Annette was our guide for the first half and she was so great! We had an hour- hour and a half break for lunch on your own, and then met back at the Uffizi Gallery for the second part of the tour. The second half of the Tour we had Federica G. and she was a great guide as well! She was very knowledgable about all of the art, and it was plain to see that she admired it! To be 100% honest, we were glad the tour of the Uffizi was a bit shorter, because as we are not huge art people, and this tour really had not many famous masterpieces we wanted to be able to say we had seen, by the end of it we were ready to go. If you’re an art lover or have abundant time to spend, it is definitely a must, but for the layperson, you don’t have to feel like you’re missing a ton if you skip the Uffizi.”

Great tour of the galleries and a walking tour. Stefano was absolutely the best! Not only knowledgeable about Michelangelo, but all sights along the walk. I particularly enjoyed his intelligence and wit. Not sure if you can request a guide, but hecwas ours for Sat am at Accademia.”

Well organised and guide was excellent. Only problem was we had an old couple that did not come out of the gallery at the agreed time and we all stood around for 20 min outside waiting. Not the tour leaders fault but put us behind for the rest of the day. Tour leader was good and considerate to them by trying to find them. Her information and knowledge great.”

It was a wonderful feeling to see the long lines of people wanting to get into these two attractions while we entered easily. We did not need to rent the audio program because we had knowledgeable guides to show us the main attractions of each museum. The city walking tour was not something we were expecting but it was a welcome and informative addition to our day.”

We are really glad we booked this tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgable. Although we are not big art affectionados, you cannot go to Florence and not see David and the artwork in Uffizzi. Even though we went to Florence in September, all tourist attractions were super packed and it turned out to be”

Our two tour guides, Paulina and Melanie, were excellent. We were glad the walking part of the tour took us from the Accademia to the Uffizi. I wish we had done this on day one as it gave a great overview of the city.”

We had such a wonderful tour with Costanza? In the morning and Pata in the afternoon at the Uffizi. We were disappointed at first the we weren't going going to have our morning guide for the afternoon because she was so knowledgeable and had such a great personality. But Pata was a good guide as well. The tour of Florence was so informative and hit the main places as well as some we weren't aware of. I highly recommend this tour. We are also happy that we did the Galleria and tour part in the morning as that was the part we enjoyed and held our attention the most.”
