A closer look

"To see the sun sink down, drowned on his pink and purple and golden floods, and overwhelm Florence with tides of color that make all the sharp lines dim and faint and turn the solid city to a city of dreams, is a sight to stir the coldest nature." - Mark Twain

Our benchmark Florence tour brings those tides of color to life. Tours & Tours Uffizi Gallery tour is crafted to entertain yet at the same time satisfy the artistic dreams of even the most seasoned traveller.

Allowing visits by request since the 16th century, the Uffizi is one of the oldest galleries in the world. Our specialist guides will whisk you off on a magical journey, beginning with Giotto & the 13th century Hall, dedicated to Tuscan painters from the 13th and 14th centuries and displaying the gallery's oldest masterpieces displaying Byzantine-influenced art.

The hedonism continues as your group enters the International Gothic Hall, showcasing an artistic style defined as the ‘International or Flamboyant Gothic’ of the 14th and early 15th century. We continue our trip through time and step into the 15th century with the Filippo Lippi Hall, showcasing works by both Filippo Lippi senior and junior – Madonna with Child and two Angels and the Adoration of the Magi.

Even today, the word Venus continues to be an almost mystic embodiment of beauty and the Birth of Venus continues to adorn houses and computer desktops alike across the planet. The stunning Botticelli Hall houses the original.  We need to take a bit of time here to let you really absorb what is actually in front of you.

The Uffizi just keeps delivering. From Botticelli on to Michelangelo - the incredible Statue Arianna lives in the Michelangelo Hall, home to Michelangelo’s only painting on panel - Tondo Doni.

And keeps delivering…next, the Leonardo da Vinci Hall, renowned for da Vinci’s early paintings including The Baptism of ChristThe Annunciation and The Adoration of the Magi. The adventure ends with the pioneering work of one of art's true visionaries - Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. The Caravaggio Hall includes the Shield with the Head of Medusa, Sacrifice of Isaac and Bacchus – certainly sights to stir!
