Uffizi & Accademia: Florence's Hidden Masterpiece VIP Tour

Be prepared for lots of people, but the “skip the line” is great to get a head start on the crowds. Stephania (sp?) was our guide - extremely knowledgeable about both museums. We almost missed our tour - got really lost trying to find the pick-up location from our hotel. They had to escort us to the Accademia.

This is a must see and should not be done without a tour guide and tickets. Our tour guide was amazing. Camilla (hope the spelling is correct) was extremely knowledgeable and provided information, history and insights throughout the museum. She helped us navigate past the lines and through security. I would highly recommend this tour.

Your guide was very informative and very proud of her native city. You will learn a lot about the city. The time in the the museums was incredibly efficient. Normally I get a little overwhelmed by the amount of art, but Silvie timed it perfectly.

This tour was on September 12th contracted tour with Florence & Global Tours - our guide was Mary. Outstanding knowledge of inside history you wouldn't normally get on your own. My husband and I truly loved her and our tour! Fascinating!! Small group and no hassles getting any place Mary took us. Highly recommend this!

I was hesitant to do a tour but "front of the line" for both the Academia and Uffizi was too tempting to pass up since we could see the line ups were so, so long. This is definitely one of the best things we did in Florence. Anna, our tour guide, was so knowledgable and charming. My husband and I learned so much. Thank you Anna!!

Skip the line is REAL, the ART is indescribable, and honestly there is too much to see in one trip. Highly Recommend ANDREA to guide you around both Accademia and the Ufizzi and show you countless masterpieces! I’m still in shock! Don’t miss the rooftop bar afterwards!! Thanks Andrea!!

Silvia was amazing, so funny and brought all the tour to life for us! Skip the line tours are the best! Spend a little more for a small group skip the line! Worth every penny!

Our tour of both the Accademia and Uffizi was fantastic, and guide Debora was an absolute font of information and details that we couldn't have heard otherwise. She did a great job of guiding the group around, making sure we stuck to time, and helping us intelligently navigate the museums. Contrary to what the TripAdvisor page says, the tour ended in the Uffizi and we were free to continue exploring on our own time, which was greatly appreciated. Overall the tour is a fantastic way to see the highlights of both museums in a predictable set of time. The one constructive feedback I'd give to the company (not Debora's fault) is the headsets they give you seem a little old and the volume settings are not great--setting it at zero was too low, and going up one notch to Volume 1 was a huge jump and almost too loud. I really wish I could have set the device to somewhere between "too quiet" and "bordering on painfully loud" and ended up having to awkwardly wedge the earbuds at an angle to make it work. If the company updated to something more modern and/or better designed it would remove the only negative we experienced on this tour.

Silvia was an outstanding tour guide, I was blown away by her knowledge of history & art! You can easily spend hours in the Uffizi gallery but we went through all of the main works. Highly recommend!

Anna was fantastic- the tour was well paced and very interesting. Never felt rushed and the backgrounds on the art added so much to the experience.
