The Uffizi Gallery features the best collection of Italian Renaissance paintings in the world! The building’s construction was commissioned by Cosimo I de’ Medici in the 16th century. He wanted Florence’s administrative departments, or uffizi (meaning offices), to be in one place. The gallery holds sculptures and paintings from ancient times and the Renaissance period. You can find masterpieces by Giotto, Botticelli, Lippi, Correggio, Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, and others. Book the Uffizi Gallery Small-Group Tour to learn about the history of the artworks from an expert guide. For the best experience, take a Uffizi Gallery Private Tour to enjoy a flexible itinerary and a guide who will ensure all your questions are answered. The Uffizi Gallery Evening Tour is a good option to avoid the midday crowds.

Our guests loved our Uffizi Gallery Guided Tours!

Read their thoughts!

Convenient priority access

I loved the guided tour! The tour guide knew her job well, I learned a lot about the paintings and other art, and she was interesting to listen to. There was a lot to see, but my favorites were Botticelli’s paintings and just seeing what people thought was fancy architecture in the past. We were able to skip the line, so that was another really good thing, too.

Well-organized tour with an interesting guide

Great tour and a great guide! It was very enjoyable to visit the Uffizi on a private tour, without anyone else, and I could learn a lot from my guide about the Medici, Michelangelo, the sculptures and the paintings, and so on. He was really nice and attentive, and I would recommend this tour because of him!

Laura

I learned so much about Florence!

Thankfully, we were able to avoid some crowds in the gallery and at the entrance and visit in peace. As for the gallery itself, it is definitely a must in Florence because you can learn about Tuscany’s history through the art. Our guide was really good at that, he showed us many masterpieces and answered everyone’s questions!
