Experienced & Exceptional Guide
Francesco is an exceptional guide with a wealth of experience and knowledge! If you’re planning a trip to Florence, don’t hesitate to book him — you won’t regret it. His expertise in the history of Florence and its art is absolutely outstanding. We had the pleasure of spending the morning with Francesco as he expertly guided my family of four adults through the Uffizi Gallery. His ability to highlight key pieces and provide rich context for the art and its historical significance truly brought the Renaissance to life. Navigating the Uffizi can be overwhelming, with its vast collection and crowds, but Francesco made sure we maximized our time. He knew exactly where to take us, helping us appreciate both the well-known masterpieces and the hidden gems. Francesco’s passion for art and history was contagious. His tour prompted lots of great discussion at the dinner table later that night. His friendly, approachable demeanor made the experience even more enjoyable. We are already looking forward to booking him again on future trips to Florence. He’s more than just a guide — he’s a true ambassador for this beautiful city!

Uffizi con mi amica
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!

Marco is a wonderful art historian & guide
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.

A magical Uffizi Tour
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.
