“This is a great way to "cut to the chase" when touring Uffizzi. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about each of the artists and some of their most important works. She guided us through the museum, which was exceptionally packed on that day. She negotiated with other tour guides to be certain we had time to take some photos while she described the history surrounding each piece. I learned a great deal about each of the major artists, the Medici family, and the progression of art over several hundreds of years. I would have known none of the information had our fantastic guide not enlightened us”
