The Lady tour guide was very good for the Accademia, but the male guide for the Uffizi was terrible. The lunch was very basic. No transport between tours. Or maps given.

Great tour! Maria Christina was very knowledgeable which helped us appreciate the incredible artwork we saw! She also ended up giving us a “bonus” tour:) At the end of the tour my daughter asked where we could find a specific painting. Maria Christina took us there herself and told us about the artist along the way. It was an unexpected kindness that also demonstrated Maria Christina’s passion for her work as a guide.Thank you, Maria Christina! On a scale of 1 to 10, Maria Christina was an 11!
On a side note, we booked lunch with the tour. The food was ok. In hindsight I would say, just focus on the art and you can find lunch on your own.

Seeing David was the best part of the tour.
Our tour guide was knowledgeable and very helpful. She was from Bologna but I don’t remember her name.

The Accademia tour in the morning was done well by Kiara (sp?), our guide. She was informative, enthusiastic, and got us the best vantage points of the important works, with the most time left for David, of course.
In the afternoon trip to the Uffizi, however, the guide wasn’t great. She talked way too long, and did nothing to get us close to the works themselves. We were constantly at the back of each room, while big groups took up all the prime positions in front of the art, and we had to leave the group early just so that we could see the art for ourselves. Two hours into the tour, and we still hadn’t seen any of the Rafaello, Da Vinci or Michelangelo works. She should have been more flexible and navigated our group around the heavy traffic, since we were just a small group of 6. The Uffizi is a great museum, but the tour made it more difficult to see everything. We hope this feedback is helpful for future tours.

Our guide Marta was excellent. Knowledgeable, personable and a great communicator. Marta provide essential contextual information as well as the technical information at each of the Accademia and Uffizi Gallery. Extra tips at the end of the tour component meant we made the most of our visit. Grazie Mille.

This was a good visit! I will say that the ticket was somewhat confusing because all the other tours I have been on would just take us from one thing to the next. When we were done at Accademia, the tour was over (everyone else in the group left) so I had to ask about the Uffizi portion and apparently that’s separate from the Accademia tour so we headed to the office which was easy and no big deal but I didn’t know that part. Then the lunch portion we had to skip entirely because it started at 1230 apparently (my paper said the entire tour ended at 1230) so we had another tour booked for 1:30 so we had to skip the lunch. BUT I will say the tours were very good and fun and informative and the guides really did a great job explaining the different paintings / styles and pieces of art!

Seeing the amazing statue of David at the Accademia. We had a wonderful experience at the Uffizi Gallery with a very bright knowledgeable girl all to ourselves!
The only downside was the lunch which I thought was poor value for money.
