Florence Tours

Breeze past the crowds and time-travel back to the Renaissance on this expert-led experience.

• Everything you get: Arrive at your chosen time slot and behold masterpieces of the 14th-16th-century. Avail both timed entry and a knowledgeable guide to better appreciate both the Renaissance rock stars (Botticelli, Michelangelo, da Vinci Caravaggio) and the hidden gems who altered the course of art history.
• Why choose this: Waiting time to enter the museum (especially during peak season) can often exceed an hour. Enjoy the two-fold benefit of timed entry and having a certified guide who speaks your language. Whether it's soaking in the serenity of Venus or feeling the chill when you take in Medusa, go beyond seeing to truly experiencing the art at Uffizi.
• Upgrades: Think you'd feel more comfortable amid fewer guests? Opt for the small-group option where you'll be part of a cohort of 15 or fewer folks, as opposed to the much larger standard group.
