Visit to the Uffizi Gallery in Florence

Wonderful tour with a wonderful guide
We had a great time touring Florence with Vanessa. We chose to do a tour on our first day to get a sense of the city, sort of a Florence 101 course. We learned so much about the history and culture of Florence from Vanessa. She was friendly, informative, and interesting. She asked questions of what we were interested in and tailored the tour accordingly. Vanessa gave us suggestions on places to go and things to see for the next few days we had in Florence; her recommendations were spot on! By the time we finished we felt like not only had we gained a sense of the city, we had gained a friend. We highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking to learn a little or a lot about the art, history, and culture of Florence.

Best Tour Guide in Florence
I met Vanessa over 5 years ago when I was traveling Solo and she was working for a Golf Cart tour Company. It was my first day in Florence and I had a hard time finding where I was supposed to go. She guided me to where she was located and we remained in touch even when I returned home. She has a huge heart and such compassion and we immediately had a special connection. When Tom and I returned 3 years ago to the day! We found the same Golf cart company that which her Partner, Enrico owned and he took us on a private tour and they had transformed their Business model into a Tour Company in Florence. So we go to know Enrico and we knew we had found 2 very special people in Italy that we would remain friends with forever! We also did a tour on that trip with Vanessa to visit Artisan shops and to explore the Oltrarno area. She introduced me to me several Artisans on Sdrucciolo dei Pitti street right across from Pitti Palace. (And several others) I visit these shop owners who have also become friends every time we come back. So on this trip….it truly was returning to visit good friends in Florence. We met Vanessa in the afternoon and she offer a couple of places we had not been. We chose to visit the Medici Ricarrdi Palace as I heard it was amazing (And super stunning Chapel) And it did not dis appoint. Her knowledge about all of Florence is amazing. What a special experience. But even more is Tom and I both feel like we have found family in all of Italy. Blessed for sure! 🥰

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2-Hour Private Walking Tour with Local Guides in Florence: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does 2-Hour Private Walking Tour with Local Guides in Florence cost?
+
Prices start at $30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2-Hour Private Walking Tour with Local Guides in Florence take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.
Is 2-Hour Private Walking Tour with Local Guides in Florence worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 22 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Hour Private Walking Tour with Local Guides in Florence?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2-Hour Private Walking Tour with Local Guides in Florence suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2-Hour Private Walking Tour with Local Guides in Florence?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2-Hour Private Walking Tour with Local Guides in Florence start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici Tales - guided by a STORYTELLER, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class & Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Florence?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Florence?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
