FAQs
Can I take pictures in the museums?
Yes, photography is allowed but without the use of flash.
Will we still have to queue?
Your pre-booked tickets have a timed entrance. However, there is still a queue time of around 20 minutes for security checks. Your guide will give you a background to the Uffizi and its collection during this time.
We are a group larger than 9, can we still book with you?
The reason for us limiting to 9 is that the Uffizi prefers smaller groups due to its popularity. It is possible to book for up to 15, but that would incur an extra charge from the Gallery. Please contact us if your group is larger than 9 people.
How much of the Uffizi will we see?
You will not cover the whole collection in the tour’s time. However, once your guided tour is over, you may remain within the museum if you wish.
Does the fee include gratuities?
No, the fee covers the cost of your expert guide, their insurance and headsets.
Is this an English-language tour?
Yes, this tour is conducted in English. If you wish for tours in Italian, German or Korean we can also provide fluent speakers in those languages.
