    Cancelled for no reason when booked three months in advance

    Very disappointed in this company. I booked this tour on July 12th as it was important to us. On the evening of September 22nd after they sent us the tickets earlier in the day they cancelled it for no reason given. At that point we weren’t able to reschedule and ended up having to walk around the museum without any guide whatsoever. Our money was refunded, but that was completely not the point. We booked this well in advance to make sure that we got the best experience while in Florence. Instead, we got the worst. Do not trust this company! Completely unacceptable!!!

    Response from the operator: hi we are so sorry for hear about your experice we wanted to inform you that due to some unexpted technical isssue in the system we had to cancell the reservation we are so sorry and we do really appologise for this

    Uffixi Small Group Tour

    Alex was exceptional in sharing her art knowledge and enthusiasm. Her sincere concern for providing a great experience was so evident. The gallery is extremely ceowded and she was most assertive but polite in ensuring our small group was positioned well to see wach work she spoke about. You won't be disappointed with Alex as your guide.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience and kind words about our guide, Alex. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed learning about Florence’s rich history and the Renaissance period — she’ll be thrilled to know her storytelling made a lasting impression! Thank you again for choosing Italy Pass Tours. We hope to welcome you on another tour soon — perhaps to explore more masterpieces

    Scam!!!

    There was no tour. We were scammed. It was free entry Sunday. And skip the line was not allowed which is what we paid for. The tour guide DID NOT show up. Is and two other people were at the designated meeting place early and stayed late. Cost us a day of aggravation in Rome and we did not get on the Uffizi which was most important to us. HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!

    Response from the operator: We are truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We take all feedback seriously, and we want to assure you that we are actively investigating the details of your negative review internally. We are committed to understanding what went wrong and using your valuable input to improve our service. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us directly at customer-care@italypasstours.com. We would be glad to assist you further and address your concerns personally.

    Great, but short guided tour at the Uffizi Gallery

    We had an amazing and engaged tour guide that took us through some of the main highlights of the Gallery. Though only 1,5 hours for a place that massive is a bit short, so I would recommend anyone to take a tour that's slightly longer.

    Response from the operator: Thanks for booking with Italy Pass! Your guided tour will take you through the highlights of the Uffizi with a small group. A great perk is that your ticket lets you stay and explore the museum on your own after the tour is over.

    The admission and tour process was seemless. Our guide, Alex, was knowledgeable and entertaining. High recommendations!

    Uffizi Gallery Guided Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.

    How much does Uffizi Gallery Guided Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at €35 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 Uffizi Gallery Guided Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 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 Uffizi Gallery Guided Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 141 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 Uffizi Gallery Guided 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 Uffizi Gallery Guided Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Uffizi Gallery Guided Tour?

    +

    Around 49 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Uffizi Gallery Guided 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.

    What is included in Uffizi Gallery Guided Tour?

    +

    Included: Host; Listening device; Nominative tickets; and Licensed tour guide. Not included: Meals. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Uffizi Gallery Guided Tour?

    +

    The Giotto statue is the third statue upon entering the Uffizi Gallery and is located on the left side. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Uffizi Gallery Guided Tour offered in?

    +

    +
