Pass by without stopping
Le Gallerie Degli Uffizi
The adventure will begin inside the Uffizi Gallery, one of the most famous and celebrated museums in the world. Here, your fully licensed guide will lead you through a priceless collection of Renaissance art, with masterpieces by iconic painters such as Giotto, Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli and Michelangelo, to name but a few.

120 minutes here · Admission included
Corridoio Vasariano
After exploring the Uffizi Gallery, your experience will continue with the Vasari Corridor. Please note that, due to museum regulations, the guide will not be able to provide explanations inside the Corridor. However, you will have the privilege of admiring ancient and modern Florence from above. Walking along the Corridor, you will be able to take in breathtaking panoramic views of Ponte Vecchio, the Arno River and the Oltrarno district. It will be like stepping back in time, reliving the thrill of moving through the same places and in such an exclusive setting that was once reserved only for royal members as the Medici family. The experience will end by passing through the door located next to the suggestive Grotta del Buontalenti, inside the marvellous Boboli Gardens. From here, together with your guide, you will have the opportunity to retrace the Vasari Corridor by observing it from the outside, appreciating the architectural details such as the passage around the Mannelli Tower.
30 minutes here · Admission included
Corridoio Vasariano
The Vasari Corridor walk will last 30 minutes and will allow you to reach the Boboli Gardens away from the crowds, just as the Medici did centuries ago. The exit will be alongside the Buontalenti Fountain, a masterpiece of Mannerist sculpture that offers us a fascinating fusion of architecture, painting and sculpture. Once out, follow your private guide back to Piazza Signoria on a walk back along the Vasari Corridor, which will allow you to admire this work of art from the outside as well, making your experience even more complete.

Loved our tour guide- Hilary
Traveling with my husband, we loved our tour guide Hilary. She was knowledgeable, studied art and art history. We greatly appreciated her depth of knowledge about the Uffizi Museum and Corridor. The perfect guide. She asked about our interests and delivered 100%.

Wonderful Uffizi and Vasari Corridor tour
The exclusive Uffizi Gallery and Vasari Corridor Small Group Tour was fabulous. The Ufizzi Gallery is packed with beautiful art and history. Francesca, our guide, did a wonderful job of helping us to focus in on some of the most important of their collections, and she shared with us interesting insights into the various works. After the Ufizzi, we got to go through the newly reopened Vasari Corridor above the Ponte Vecchio, with its hall of statues and interesting history, ending at the Pitti Palace. All along, Francesca did a great job of sharing interesting insights and answering all our questions.

Appalling mess up
We booked the Ufizi plus Corridior tour. When we got to the entry to the Corridor after the gallery, we found the tour company had printed the wrong date on our tickets (only us, the 7 others in group sailed through). The tickets were only handed to us by the guide as were to enter. The tour guide who was great, tried very hard but after being stuck at the entrence for 1 hr & 15mins we were sent away. The corridor was our reason for the tour and we had come to Florence specifically for this day only and were staying 1.5 hr train trip away. We could not return on another day. Ciao Florence the tour operator were very sorry for their mistake BUT were only prepared to refund a % of the tour cost saying they had offered us other complim trips instead NONE OF WHICH WE COULD TAKE AS WE HAD ONLY 1. 5 HRS BEFORE HAVING TO LEAVE FLORENCE THAT DAY BY TRAIN. Our trip to Florence was ruined and having spent so long at the Corridor entrence, we had little time to see or do anything else. Everybody makes mistakes, and the best way to judge them is to see what sought of response there would be to respond to our mess The response was appalling with no recognition of the mess their mistake made, leaving us with no time to do what we set out to do. Refunding a portion of the cost completely missed the point of the disuption their midtake msde to us. Appalling.

Great tour
Overall was a great adventure. We skipped the line, Elena was very knowledagble and hit all the high points. Would recommend the Uffuzi museum and Vasari Corridor if you are visiting Florence, Italy. Easily handled some of our group with accessibility needs.

Exclusive Uffizi Gallery and Vasari Corridor Small Group Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Exclusive Uffizi Gallery and Vasari Corridor Small Group Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $177 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 Exclusive Uffizi Gallery and Vasari Corridor Small Group Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Exclusive Uffizi Gallery and Vasari Corridor Small Group Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Exclusive Uffizi Gallery and Vasari Corridor Small Group Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Exclusive Uffizi Gallery and Vasari Corridor Small Group Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Exclusive Uffizi Gallery and Vasari Corridor Small Group Tour?
+
Around 2 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Exclusive Uffizi Gallery and Vasari Corridor Small Group Tour 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 -by a storyteller, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class with Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm. 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.
