Description
This Uffizi Gallery guided tour with Vasari Corridor access begins with your guide and ends with a walk you do alone. First comes an hour and a half inside the museum, with stories and historical context for works by Botticelli, Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael, and for how Renaissance art developed.
After the guided part you have 30 minutes of free time in the gallery, which is handy for going back to a favorite painting or finding a few more by yourself.
Then comes the second half of the ticket. You walk into the Vasari Corridor, which has reopened to the public, with no guide for about an hour. Giorgio Vasari designed this raised passage in 1565 for Cosimo I de' Medici, and it connects the family's main residences over the city center. As you walk it you take in the architecture and the story of the Medici. It stayed off limits to visitors for years.
