Your booking includes skip-the-line access tickets to the venue. Please note that our skip-the-line tickets will allow us to enter a special lane where our group will have to stand in line due to security and crowd control measures. Your guide will use this time to dive into the history of the gallery, the Medici family, and the various types of art you will see inside. 

During the summer season, we're pleased to offer late tour times on Tuesdays. This allows you to enjoy smaller crowds and a more serene experience. 

Headsets

We are required by the venue to order headsets. You will see a “Headset Fee” added to your order. 

A few things that pair well with this tour: 

We secure timed tickets for the Uffizi in advance. Upon arrival, your guide will already have these tickets. However, please note that even with these pre-purchased tickets, the group will still need to undergo a security check. This might take up to 20 minutes given the Uffizi's popularity, but our guide will make the most of this waiting period by giving you an introduction to the collection's history.

"Skip-the-Line" means that your entry tickets are procured in advance, allowing you to avoid the main ticket purchasing queue. However, there might still be a short wait for security checks or the ticket scanning process.

Due to the tour's 3-hour limit, we can't cover the whole collection. There might also be instances where specific rooms or artworks are not accessible due to unforeseen reasons.

Do you purchase children's tickets for the Uffizi tour?
For our Uffizi tours, we purchase only adult tickets for all participants aged 6 and above. This helps us avoid delays caused by the validation of reduced-price tickets, ensuring quicker entry—especially for families. Children under 6 years old do not require a ticket, but they still need to be included in the booking as part of the group.

Our booking system has a maximum limit of 9 participants per group due to venue restrictions. For larger groups, we recommend splitting into two or more smaller groups.

Can we include the Vasari Corridor (Corridoio Vasariano) in this tour?
Yes, but tickets for the Vasari Corridor are extremely limited and hard to find. The most important consideration is the size of your group, as only groups of up to 5 people are allowed, including your guide. This means only 4 guests can visit the corridor. If your group is larger than 4, we recommend focusing on the Uffizi Gallery instead. If your group is smaller, please inform us as soon as possible so we can check availability. If successful, we will notify you of the additional cost. If tickets are unavailable, you will proceed with the standard 3-hour Uffizi Gallery tour.

We understand that some of our valued guests may have mobility concerns, and we want to ensure you have a comfortable and enjoyable experience throughout your tour. If there are any accessibility concerns that your tour guide will need to be aware of, please let our team know at the time of booking.

Given its significance and the vast number of visitors it attracts, the venue has made efforts to improve accessibility for all its visitors, including those with disabilities. However, it's worth noting that the collections are housed in a historic building which can present certain challenges for accessibility. Additional details are available here. Please communicate any mobility needs or concerns with our team at the time of booking.

Accessibility Notice: Starting December 2024: The elevators to the second floor are currently out of service due to renovations. Unfortunately, we do not have an estimated timeline for their return to service. Please note that our gallery begins on the second floor. Visitors will need to use the stairs unless prior arrangements are made. For guests with disabilities who cannot use the stairs, an alternative route is available. However, this path adds approximately 1 kilometer to the tour, requiring the use of an elevator at the museum's exit and additional walking time back to the entrance. This may extend the overall tour time. We are happy to accommodate this option, but it is crucial to let us know when you book so we can inform your guide and ensure everything is prepared in advance. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
