Admire masterpieces by Giotto, Botticelli, Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raffaello, Tiziano and Caravaggio, just to name a few. Spend some time in the open-air sculpture garden of Piazza Signoria to admire the fine works on display. Your expert guide will enlighten you about the artists and their works as well as the legacy of the Medici family, the patrons of Florence.
The private guide is at your disposal for 2.5 hours in the Uffizi Gallery after which time you are free to stay and explore on your own.
