Small group Uffizi Florence experience

A unique opportunity to discover the Florence Uffizi Gallery and learn the secrets of the Vasari corridor

Description

Learn, explore and capture the essence of artistic talent and enchantment with an exclusive brand-new Florencetown experience: a unique Masterclass in the Uffizi of Florence with an Art Expert!

Conducted by a highly experienced and charismatic English-speaking professional art guide, our Masterclass leads you through the fascinating corridors of one of the world's most celebrated art collections, the Uffizi Gallery of Florence, taking you into the frames and behind the paint of legendary masterpieces, the very ones that made Florence the capital of a real cultural and artistic revolution: the Renaissance.

During the visit you will learn about Florence's history, discover the secrets of the Vasari Corridor, the Medici family's secret aerial passageway, and discover the true beauty and creative talent encompassed in the Florence Uffizi collection.
From Leonardo's genius and Giotto's one-of-a-kind touches, to Botticelli's magical flower-filled "Primavera" and striking "Venere", you will enjoy the rare privilege of diving into each work of art, grasping its meaning and seeing it come to life for your eyes only.
With a focus by our art expert, uncover the Vasari Corridor history and secrets (no entrance in the corridor - please see notes) : Hidden between city houses and even passing through a church, the Vasari Corridor has evolved as one of the most astounding architectural masterpieces of the Renaissance. 

There will be a break during the visit to have a rest or to take a cappuccino or coffee at the Uffizi Café located on the terrace above the ancient Loggia dei Lanzi.

Our signature Art Masterclass is much more than an Uffizi Gallery visit, it is a life-changing cultural experience.

PLEASE NOTE - VASARI CORRIDOR CURRENTLY UNDER MAJOR RECONSTRUCTION.
In 2007 Florencetown was the first tour operator ever to open this hidden gem regularly to the public, making it possible for everybody to discover it. From December 2016 the Vasari Corridor will be closed to undergo a major reconstruction to highlight even better its architectural characteristics and add some safety exits. This will probably take all 2022.
Florencetown will be ready to lead guests again on our Vasari Corridor exclusive visits as soon as it will reopen.

Inclusions

• MASTERCLASS by an ART EXPERT (English Speaking Licensed Guide)

“Lisa, our tour guide was extremely well informed and shared her knowledge in a most interesting and enjoyable manner. Learned many new things and the why of things I already knew. Excellent!”

“We came to Florence without a tour setup for the Uffuzi, which apparently was a mistake. However, Florencetown tours was able to accommodate us last minute and our guide, Lisa, was fantastic! Literally. We could have not asked for a better experience. Looking forwadd to our Cinque Terre trip with them tomorrow. Prego!”

It was our third time at the Uffizi and each time we learn something new. Excellent tour. Definitely would recommend Florencetown tours.”
