Uffizi Gallery Guided Tour

The Uffizi Gallery owes its fame to the great works it still preserves today by the greatest artists of the Italian Renaissance, just think of Raphael, Michelangelo, Giotto, Botticelli and many others. A conspicuous part of the works we can admire today belonged to the great collections of the Medici family, which, thanks to the transfer in the 18th century by the last member of the Medici family, became definitively linked to the city of Florence. If you've ever seen pictures of the Uffizi Gallery, you've probably seen some of the best-known masterpieces that are kept inside: the 'Birth of Venus' in the elegant and refined style of Botticelli, the 'Tondo Doni' with its plastic representation of painted bodies, or Titian's allegorical 'Venus of Urbino'.

Why visit the Uffizi Gallery with a guide?

Because behind every painting lies a story, and with the help of a professional, those stories come alive. From the masterpieces of Michelangelo and Raphael to the poetic elegance of Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, our guide will lead you through the highlights of the Uffizi’s vast collection while offering insight you won’t find on your own. Much of the gallery’s richness comes from the private collection of the powerful Medici family, passed down through generations and eventually gifted to the city of Florence. These works are not only beautiful—they are a living archive of Renaissance history and Florence’s deep artistic legacy. What can you expect from the tour? Your journey begins just steps away from Florence’s Cathedral, where you’ll meet our licensed guide and walk toward the gallery’s entrance. Skip the long lines with our reserved access and step directly into one of the most important art collections in the world.

Inside, you'll see:

• The Birth of Venus and Primavera by Botticelli, filled with mythological symbolism and grace
   

• Michelangelo’s Doni Tondo, one of his few paintings, striking in its sculptural power

• Titian’s Venus of Urbino, a masterpiece of color and sensuality
  Works by Giotto, Caravaggio, Leonardo da Vinci, and more

• A rich display of ancient sculptures, decorative objects, and Medici heirlooms

Whether you’re an art enthusiast or just curious to understand Florence’s heritage, this tour offers a deeper, more meaningful experience than simply wandering through on your own.
