Guidekin's take

A guided walk through the Uffizi in a group capped at fifteen with the timed ticket in the price and free time inside once the guide finishes, plus an option that adds an hour at the Accademia for David.

Full names at booking must match your passport or ID, or entry is refused. 4.51 from 1,105 reviews at €52 per person for 1h 30m–3h 30m.

In our comparison: #7 of 7 in Uffizi Gallery Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
