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.

“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!”

“Very knowledgable guide, fluent in english as advertised. Had a significant impact on the quality of my visit, I still remember facts months later because of the great quality of instruction. Very friendly and personable as well. Would pay again.”

“The Ufffizi Masterclass by an Art Expert and Vasari Corridor Focus was excellent - Francesca, our tour guide, was very professional, knowledgeable, and very pleasant. It was our third time at the Uffizi and each time we learn something new. Excellent tour. Definitely would recommend Florencetown tours.”

“We had a great time with Lisa. She was very professional & had a very in depth understanding of the subject matter. We learned a lot of Medici Family and the various arts. Including the methods and how they made. She knew all the names of all the works! Very impressive! It was a long tour, but it was worth it. Thank you!”

“I truly enjoyed the tour to the Uffizi Gallery, Francesca Lore was an excellent guide, very professional and knowledgeable, plus very fun to have as a guide. Additionally, Florencetown Tours was very helpful and accommodating by rescheduling my tour after I've mistakenly missed my original booking. All in all an excellent experience. Thank you!”
