5 stars for private tour of Uffizi and Accademia Gallery
Tommaso was an excellent guide! He helped me navigate Florence’s galleries far more efficiently than I could have on my own and shared insights that made the art much more interesting and enjoyable. His recommendations for other places to visit in Florence were also fantastic. Mille grazie!

Uffizi and David
Tour guide superb and supremely accommodating of our needs. Seamless experience; all we needed to do was show up at the appointed location.

Enjoyable and Informative Tour
Half day private tour of Uffizi and Accademia (statue of David). Our tour guide Aksana did a great job of explaining each painting, sculpture and work of art, making them interesting and relating them to history and how Florence has evolved today. Much better than those large group tours. Highly recommended!

Florence in a morning.
Spent the morning with Marta. Incredible guide. Personable, funny and incredible love of Florentine history. We toured the Uffizi and the Galleria dell'Accademia di Firenze to see David. Her ability to weave history into the paintings we saw from the Middle Ages through the Renaissance was fascinating. This is the third time in 20 years I've made this tour but I would say with Marta that I learned more today than all of my previous trips combined. Word to the wise- the lines without a guide are madness, even in October. Would absolutely recommend this tour for a learning experience and to make the most of your time in the city.

Private Tour of Uffizi and Accademia Gallery with David: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Private Tour of Uffizi and Accademia Gallery with David cost?
+
Prices start at $315 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 Private Tour of Uffizi and Accademia Gallery with David 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 Private Tour of Uffizi and Accademia Gallery with David worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 174 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 Private Tour of Uffizi and Accademia Gallery with David?
+
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 Private Tour of Uffizi and Accademia Gallery with David 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 Private Tour of Uffizi and Accademia Gallery with David?
+
Around 61 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 Private Tour of Uffizi and Accademia Gallery with David 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.
