Spending the afternoon with Marty at the Uffizi was like being with an old friend. She was friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. She showed us the important paintings and the history of each one. We wanted to see the Caravaggios, which might not have been on her normal “route”, but she made it possible to show them to us. We also went through the Vasari Corridor which was very special to experience. A great tour with someone who was attentive and very much enjoyed art history! Grazie!
We were so fortunate to have Marco as our guide at the Uffizi. He is a great art historian who was able to shepherd us through the large collection and give us a more complete background on the amazing works of art. He is professional, patient, and kind. We highly recommend Marco to guide anyone visiting Florence’s museums and cultural attractions.
Michele was fantastic, charming and extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the Uffizi that we visited. He started giving me wonderful details and history from the moment we joined the queue to enter. I had a great experience and would highly recommend this to anyone who has limited time to visit Florence. I loved this tour and Michele was a large component of my satisfaction.
Zeynep was WONDERFUL! Will definitely book her again. She is so friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Will book her again for sure.
