Accademia & Uffizi Museums: Small Group Tour with Optional Lunch

1.Accademia & Uffizi Museums: Small Group Tour with Optional Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,956 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $145Our pick

Visit the Accademia and Uffizi with a local guide in a group of no more than 15. Expect Michelangelo’s David, Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, Leonardo’s Annunciation, timed admission, audio equipment, and an optional three-course Tuscan lunch.

“Unfortunately our first part of the tour of the accademia was a bilingual tour of Spanish & English. Reading the description we thought we were getting an English only guide. It was impossible to follow as information was rushed. 2 stars. Uffizi was a different story, Michello( I hope I got his name right, he was a history teacher) was absolutely phenomenal, the knowledge, stories and his enthusiasm was amazing. If you could book him for the Uffizi gallery tour you could never go wrong, he is the only reason this tour got 4 stars. He is 5 stars”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,033 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $136

Spend about six hours exploring Florence with timed entry to the Accademia and, on the full-day option, the Uffizi. You’ll see David, the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, and Medici landmarks, then stop for a three-course Tuscan lunch. Guides such as Alicia, Ilaria, and Riccardo have earned praise for their art commentary.

“When I signed up I thought it was one tour. It turns out each venue was separate with different tour guides such as the tour in Accademia, the historic walk, lunch and the Uffizi. It was our responsibility to get to each place on our own and it was very uncomfortable when you are not familiar with the area and you get lost which gives the chance of missing an excursion. Four times we had to find each place and it was stressful. I would highly recommend having one tour guide or at least have someone with you to guide you to each venue. All of the guides in each…”

Travel from Dubai to Abu Dhabi with a licensed English-speaking guide, multilingual audio, mosque entry, Louvre Abu Dhabi admission, lunch, and hotel pickup. You’ll see the grand white mosque, stop at Yas Mall, and spend about two and a half hours at the Louvre.

“The visits to the Mosque and the Louvre were beautiful and we had lunch (in total 4,5 hours). But the rest of the trip we spent in a bus (in total 7 hours) and that was far to much. Because Viator combined this trip with cliënt visiting Ferrari world at the opposite site of Abu Dhabi. So we had to travel this distantie twice (bring and return); would be beter as separate trips.”
