Description
Ever wondered why it is called the Uffizi? The name means “Offices,” a practical title for a building that now houses something far grander. The Medici family once coveted it; today, the Uffizi Gallery ranks among the most prestigious art museums globally. Its rooms hold masterpieces from celebrated artists, telling the story of Florence’s rise as the heart of the Renaissance. That history gives the visit a special sense of occasion.
Explore Italy's most significant and celebrated museum
Getting into the Uffizi Gallery can mean a long wait. This private tour takes that inconvenience out of the experience.
Your tickets give you "skip the line" entry. Once you have passed the required security check, you can go straight inside to view the extraordinary works that helped make Florence the cradle of the Renaissance. An art expert will guide you through the development of Italian art from the Middle Ages onward, explaining the stories and mysteries hidden behind each masterpiece.See works by Italy’s leading Renaissance artists
Your private guide will introduce you to the major figures who shaped Italian art. Start with the pioneering art of Giotto, then take in the delicate line and color of Botticelli’s magnificent Primavera, including its beautiful Venus. Leonardo Da Vinci brought intellect, scholarship, and artistic invention together as few artists did. The collection also features masterpieces by Raphael, Michelangelo, and other extraordinary artists.
Discover the Vasari Corridor
One of Italy’s best-known palaces holds another architectural treasure: the celebrated Vasari Corridor. It opened to the public in 2007, but extensive renovation work has closed it for now. While you wait for its return, your guide will share the passage’s hidden history, private intrigues, and memorable stories, while pointing out traces of its distinctive design during your visit. Tours will resume after the restoration is finished.
