Seeing the Vasari Corridor was a rare experience, and Elia made it even more special with stories of Medici intrigue. The Uffizi can be overwhelming, but he guided us through effortlessly. This was a highlight of our Florence trip!

The Uffizi is overwhelming, but our guide led us straight to the masterpieces and gave fascinating insights along the way. The Vasari Corridor was an unexpected highlight—walking through a passageway used by the Medici felt like stepping into history. An unforgettable experience!

Felt really lucky to be among the first to re-enter the Vasari Corridor after being closed for renovations.

The Uffizi Gallery is breathtaking, but having a guide explain the stories behind works by Michelangelo and Botticelli made the experience even richer. The highlight, though, was the Vasari Corridor.. it felt like such a privilege to walk through this historic space, recently reopened to visitors. Claudia was fantastic, tailoring the tour to our interests and keeping it engaging the entire time.
