Overview

Tour the most visited museums of Florence and two of the world's most popular museums together with a private guide.

Your private guide will lead you through both galleries offering interesting in-depth descriptions of some of the best works of art kept there.

The Uffizi Gallery contains works by Michelangelo, Giotto, Botticelli, Caravaggio, Leonardo da Vinci, and many other great Renaissance artists.
