Uffizi: Small-Group Guided Tour

The experience

It is the simplest way to see the Uffizi with someone who explains. You meet at the statue of Nicola Pisano, on Piazzale degli Uffizi, 15 minutes before the time, and from there the guide takes the group into the Gallery for one and a half hours. The price includes the entry ticket, the headsets and assistance at the meeting point. It starts from $74 per person (GetYourGuide, October 2026), with free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

The official Uffizi ticket is named and costs €25 if you buy it on the day, €29 if you buy it in advance; they sell it on tickets.uffizi.it, at the call centre and at the ticket office under the loggia of Piazzale degli Uffizi. With this tour you also pay for the guide and the headsets: the museum makes them mandatory for groups over 6 people, including the guide. Under 18s enter free with a valid ID, and EU citizens aged 18 to 25 pay €2: details are on the official prices page.

What to really expect. The listing cites Botticelli's Birth of Venus and Primavera, Michelangelo's Doni Tondo and Leonardo's Annunciation: in 90 minutes you see the main masterpieces, not the whole Gallery, which occupies two floors. Hotel transfer is not included, and at the entrance everyone passes through the metal detector.

  • One and a half hours with a guide inside the Uffizi
  • Entry ticket already in the price, nothing else to buy
  • Headsets to hear the guide well
  • Botticelli, Leonardo and Michelangelo explained in front of the works
  • Assistance at the meeting point, on Piazzale degli Uffizi

How it works

    All visitors pass through the metal detector. Backpacks, large bags and umbrellas must go to the cloakroom, which is free; suitcases are not allowed on the tour.

    After the tour, you are already inside with your ticket: you can continue on your own until closing at 18:30. The ticket is valid for one entry only, so if you exit you cannot re-enter.

What travellers say

★★★★★

We had a really wonderful guided tour of the Uffizi with Anna, in German. She has an exceptional knowledge of art and guided us through the collection with great expertise and enthusiasm. It was especially nice that she pointed out many details and connections that we would probably have missed on our own. [...] We recommend the visit with Anna without reservation.

A great guided tour with Anna. Very educational and very well structured from a teaching point of view, in a small group: a journey from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. We learned a lot and discovered new things. Five stars without a doubt.

★★★★★

An excellent guide who gave us great insights into the most famous works. She also gave us extra tips for later, when the tour was over and we had time to explore on our own.

  • Bring an ID for every person: the ticket is named and the listing asks for it even for children.
  • Arrive at the meeting point 15 minutes early: the listing asks for it and the museum has a timed entry.
  • Leave suitcases and large bags at the hotel: the tour does not allow them, while backpacks and bags go to the free cloakroom.
  • Photos are allowed without flash, selfie sticks or tripods, as set out in the museum rules.
  • The museum is closed on Mondays: the Uffizi are open Tuesday to Sunday, from 8:15 to 18:30.
