Vasari Corridor tour

We did not have much time in Florence, so we did the Florence the Magnificent tour. It hit all the highlights in Florence. Our tour guides Valentina and Mario were great. I learned a great deal from Mario about art during our tour of the Uffizi and Vasari Corridor tour. I wish we would have had more time and spent two days in Florence. I would have done the walking tour and the visit to David on Day 1 and the Uffizi and Vasari Corridor tour on Day 2. Combining them made for a long, but enjoyable day

I took the skip the line Uffizi tour including the Vasari corridor last week and it was one of the best tour experiences I’ve ever had – and hands down the best in Florence! My tour guide Federica was absolutely wonderful. She was not only lovely and friendly, but incredibly knowledgeable and able to answer any questions I had. I can’t recommend FlorenceTown and Federica highly enough!

I went on this tour this afternoon . There were only 4 of us on the tour. I had been to the Uffizi a couple of years ago with another major tour company . I initially was going to visit without a guide this time , but I figured one more guided visit would be helpful.
I was so fortunate that today ‘s guide was Daniela . She was : knowledgeable to the nth degree ; a gifted teacher ; charming ; warm ; fun ; caring ; and what I learned from her today was invaluable.
Thank you Florencetown and grazie mille , Daniela !

My wife and I absolutely loved this tour. Our guide Eleonora was very knowledgeable about the artwork in the museum and the history of Florence. Her perfect mix of serious information and lighthearted humour made the tour a joy to be part of.

We were in Florence for one month and it was fantastic. One of the highlights was a visit to the Uffizi and the Vasari Corridor. Our tour guide was Mario Gesu and he was great. He gave us a mini lesson on Art History and helped us understand what we were looking at. We were able to get ticket easily and avoid the lines. Highly recommend.

Wanting to visit the Vasari Corredor I signed up for the Uffizi highlights and Vasari Corredor Tour. I’d never heard of the Florencetown Tour group. Eleanore was our guide for the Uffizi and Vasari Corredor! She was completely knowledgeable on her material and able to answer in depth questions with ease. Her English was perfect and her charming manner made the Tour most enjoyable. There is plenty of walking so be prepared! Also be ready to enjoy a delightful afternoon!

I would highly recommend this company for a very small private tour of the Uffizi Gallery and Vasari’s Corridor. Sure guide was Sibille and from the very beginning…you could see her passion for Florence and its world famous Artwork. The Uffizi Gallery is something to behold and Vasari’s Corridor is only open for private tours. You will not be disappointed!

Excellent tour with Mario! Mario was very knowledgeable about the art and history and an excellent storyteller. My husband and I were enthralled with the stories and learning the history behind the great works of art that we saw. One of the most excellent tours of our time in Italy.

Giulia Bozzi showed us the highlights of the Uffizi galleries and gave us an unusual chance to walk through the Vasari Corridor. Her knowledge of city history is wide and deep, and she was generous with answers to questions. We wished for a little more on the artworks themselves, but the things she did tell us were informative and insightful. We would happily join her on another tour if we had more time in Florence.

We booked the Uffizi and Vasari Corridor tour run by Florencetown and it surpassed all our expectations. It was a small group of 11 and our guide Mario took us on a journey of the development of art showing us what to look out for and how to recognise the different styles of the art from medieval to renaissance to baroque etc. We had the chance to walk along the Vasari corridor which is about three quarters of a mile long and we had all of it ourselves. I would recommend this tour to anyone with even a small interest in art.

I booked this tour for my fiancé and I and we both love our guide Mario. Mario remembers every one’s name and calls us by our first name. He knows so much about the Renaissance art and he lets you ask as many questions as you want. He also explains very well the sketch and stroke techniques and occasionally questions you on certain paintings to see if you got his explanation. Having VIP access to skip the entrance line and having private access to the Vasari corridor totally made the price worth it.

I spent three wonderful hours with my guide, Giulia Botti from Florencetown tours on the above your yesterday

She was most knowledgeable about the many exhibits and attractions and she did not stop talking the entire three hours and it was a most enjoyable experience

One of the best guided tours I have ever experienced

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the Uffizi and then the Vasari corridor. Our guide, Francesca, was excellent showing considerable knowledge of all the works of art and the history of the buildings etc. She was patient with the group and did well to work around the crowds in the museum. Definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Florence.

We started the tour in an unfortunate way, with earphones and leader’s microphone not working ( eventually we didn’t use them), and long queueing to get into and around the Uffizi, certainly not as claimed (skip the lines). But our guide Sibille was so lovely and enthusiastic that she won the group over. You could probably visit the gallery on your own, but the real value is in the Vasari Corridor and the tales associated with its artworks and history. It was certainly worth visiting.

We did two tours with FlorenceTown, one of the Uffizi Gallery/Vasari Corridor and another of the Accademia. Both tour guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. The Uffizi tour had about 20 group members, and the tour guide managed the size well. The Accademia tour was only four people total, which made for an awesome experience. Highly recommend this tour group.

Our tour was conducted by Guilia Dragoni who was a well informed, instructive and personable guide. Her insights provided colour to the tour.

We had Francesca L guide us. She incredibly knowledgable and spoke fluent English. The tour was interesting and great for those that love to learn about paintings. It isn’t for those that have short attention spans and little interest in art.

A great tour through the Uffizi and the Vasari corridor with a professor of art history. The 3 hour tour flew by quickly. Unfortunately due to the limited time some paintings are discussed too shortly and we couldn’t visit the entire gallery. But to get a first impression of the Uffizi this tour was excellent.

We did the Vasari corridor tour today under the brilliant guidance of Dr Sara. We had 2 hours seeing the highlights of the Uffizi and then a magical hour along the amazing private Vasari corridor. Sara was brilliant and made this an intelligent art history lesson rather than a tourist event. Florence town were excellent from start to finish and we would strongly recommend them to others …especially if Dr Sara was involved !

Giulia Dragoni was a very engaging and entertaining guide. She kept our attention for the entire 4 hours, and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour with her. We recommend this tour to anyone!

I highly recommend this tour. Our guide Valentina was superb. Her in-depth knowledge of the tour content specifically and art history generally, coupled with whatever the Italian version of je ne sais quoi is, made for a fantastic introduction to our week in Florence. The Uffizi is immense and having such a skilled guide meant that we saw the great works in context without feeling overwhelmed by the volume of the place and moving through the corridor provided unique insight into Medici history. A great way to start a great week

Our tour was great. The guide was very knowledgeable and gave us many interesting facts about the paintings, the Medicis family and sites of the city.

Very rarely book tours but the limited number (there were just 3 of us) tour of the Ufizzi followed by an exclusive walk down the Vasari corridor over Ponte Vecchio well worth it. Tour guide (Sibille) excellent and great to beat the crowds

We loved or tour! Our guide, Sara, has a degree in art history and speaks English very well. She was wonderful. This was a great way to skip the lines and see the gallery. Going through the Vasari Corridor was special. Our tour included breakfast with a view of the dome.
