We are a group of 30 Irish art lovers. We really fell on our feet. Paola,is a qualified guide…. She brought us on a 3-hour walking tour that was the best guided city tour I have ever had. She also guided us through the Uffizi, and everybody was impressed.”

..un tour guidato di 3 ore del centro storico con Paola…tutto quello che ha condiviso è stato interessante e approfondito. Se lo richiedete, è possibile farvi prenotare i biglietti per l’Accademia (dove c’è il David) e gli Uffizi. Paola effettua guide anche agli Uffizi, ma non sapendolo prima abbiamo purtroppo perso l’occasione. Considerando la sua conoscenza e il suo amore per l’arte, la storia e l’architettura non mancherò di farmi guidare da lei la prossima volta che visiterò gli Uffizi!”

It was our first visit to Italy and so we opted for the ‘walking tour’ of Florence. Paola gave us an amazing tour, not just of the sights, but of the political and art history and how they shaped Florence. (Her English is excellent.) It was a lot to digest, but we found ourselves understanding the city much more throughly. And wishing that we had been able to stay longer. She also arranged for us to have a reserved time at the Uffizi Gallery, which saved us a lot of time in a line-up.”

The Uffizi Gallery is one of the most important art galleries of the world. It is the perfect place to understand the development of Italian art from the Medieval time (late 1200) to the Baroque looking in detail at the most important works of incredible masters like Giotto, Botticelli, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian …
The tour is of about 2 hrs – admission fees not included
