5.00Giovanna concentrated on several famous pieces with insight instead of rushing through every piece. It was greatly appreciated and allowed more retention. She also had us sit at different parts while sharing stories to help the exhaustion from standing. Thank you Giovanna.
Great learning experience

5.00Laura was a great guide and gave us many insights about what we were seeing. I’ve been to Florence many times but this was the first time I’ve toured with a guide. It was really nice to learn so much more about Florence!
Great tour. Too much art detail.

3.00This was an interesting tour for some of the highlights of the city. Laura was very knowledgeable of the sights we visited today. In some cases, too knowledgeable. She was losing most of the crowd with the minutia of details spoken about quite a few of the art pieces she was describing. Some history is fine. A general overview of what was going on in the area, important families, political status and such is fine. Some details of how they were sculpted or pigments used would be nice. However, at the Uffizi, getting into the nitty gritty of who was friends with whom and who paid for what or commissioned what artwork for who.....that's too much. Describing the different periods and using the Madonna portraits - great idea! Easy to compare. But most didn't need half of what was spoken about. True, some art aficionados would definitely appreciate all, and more, details of what Laura was going on about. But not a general crowd of tourists. She focused on what she wanted to show and describe. She did not tour the Uffizi gallery as a whole. And after 5 hours, "Now you can explore on your own." would not do much for the regular traveler. If she would have pointed out some more artwork in general and not stay on one piece for up to 10, or more, minutes each, that would have made the tour much more interesting and enjoyable for everyone. Everything else but the two gallery tours was great. It all could have been spectacular. ESPECIALLY now that it was low tourist season and roaming both galleries was very easy. Laura also mentioned it several times of how empty the galleries were. So, with that in mind, why did we spend so much time on so few pieces. We did not enter half the rooms. This was NOT described as an art tour. This was a city tour with a tour of two galleries. Perhaps a better description is required. Or, perhaps a better outline for the guide to follow.
It’s Wonderful

5.00Amazing!!!! A+++. If you’re reading this, book it now. Stop worrying about the others. Our tour guide was so kind and wonderful and, if you bring kids, has a special way to engage them to what could be “boring” history for them. Uffizi Gallery was awesome. Firenze is a gorgeous city! Great experience! Lots of fun! Tip: check out the Mercado. 2nd tip: Tip your guides! It’s a wonderful trip to visit Italy! Throwing your guide a few €€€ is a no brainer. Don’t be a ****.
