Marco is an exceptional guide! He led our tour of the Accademia and Uffizi with incredible knowledge, professionalism, and genuine passion. Articulate and engaging from start to finish, he taught us so much along the way. If you are visiting these museums, booking a tour with Marco is an absolute must!

Our tour guide, Francesca, was wonderful! We toured the most well known art in the two locations. She was very knowledgeable and friendly, and gave us lots of ideas for other things to do and see in Florence.
Brilliant Francesca!

That was SUCH a good tour! Thank you so much, Francesca. And that’s exactly how I like to visit a gallery. There’s always far too much to take in in one visit so just go for the few important pieces! And goodness me she certainly knows her art/history! Thank you so much. SO glad I booked with you and please thank Francesca too. Su
Great tour and amazing guide

Lauradonna did a great job providing an overview of the world's greatest masterpieces while deftly moving around the crowfs. Not an easy task. Few have days to see everything in the Uffizi and this 3.5 hour tour is both efficient and in depth. An added benefit was her commentary simply walking through the streets of Florence, an art and architectural tour in and of itself.

We enjoyed the tour. We learned a lot about Michelangelo’s David at the Accademia. The artwork at the Uffizi was stunning. Marco was a very informative guide. We enjoyed the pace of the tour, as it was just enough time to get a feel for both museums. Will have to go back someday to see the rest.

Unfortunately I don't remember the guide's name who performed the best guided tour of my life on August 27th at 14:15. His passion about history and art really made the experience of seeing Michelangelo's David and the art within Ufizzi museum spectacular and definitely sparked in me the desire to study art and history. Congrats! Highly recommended!
