Uffizi Gallery Guided Tour Florence
Skip the queues and dive straight into one of the world's greatest art collections with this expert-led Uffizi Gallery tour. Your professional guide will lead you through the Renaissance treasures that made Florence the birthplace of artistic revolution, from Botticelli's ethereal masterpieces to Michelangelo's powerful sculptures.
This comprehensive tour covers the gallery's most celebrated works whilst your guide provides context and stories behind each piece. You'll encounter Giotto's groundbreaking Ognissanti Madonna, marvel at both Simone Martini's and Leonardo da Vinci's interpretations of the Annunciation, and stand before Botticelli's famous La Primavera and The Birth of Venus. The tour also includes Michelangelo's only panel painting, the Doni Tondo, Caravaggio's vivid Bacchus, and works by Raphael, Titian, and pioneering female artist Artemisia Gentileschi.
After exploring Florence's artistic heart, consider enhancing your cultural tour with a visit to the Accademia Gallery guided tour to see Michelangelo's David, or discover the city's architectural wonders on a Florence walking tour that covers the historic centre's highlights.
