Description
This Uffizi Gallery guided tour with the Vasari Corridor option begins outside the museum, where the guide sketches the Medici and the history of the building. Then you skip the main ticket line, clear security and head upstairs with a small group of up to nine.
The route lasts 1.5 hours and stays on the second floor. You compare the Madonnas of Duccio, Cimabue and Giotto, watching space, depth and emotion enter painting, then reach Botticelli's Birth of Venus and Primavera. Leonardo's Annunciation, his Adoration of the Magi, Verrocchio's Baptism of Christ, Michelangelo's Doni Tondo and Raphael's Madonna of the Goldfinch follow. The Titian and Caravaggio rooms are outside the guided route, but open to you afterwards.
- A licensed guide and priority entry
- Headsets for larger groups
- The Vasari Corridor, only if chosen when booking
The Corridor part is a one-way, unguided walk with its own timed slot, roughly two hours after the tour starts. It crosses over the Ponte Vecchio and comes out by the Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens exit, so you cannot go back to the Uffizi. Plan around four hours in all. If the collection matters most, pick the option without the Corridor.
