Founded in 1560 at the behest of Cosimo I de' Medici, from being the seat of the most important Florentine magistracies, the Uffizi did not become the marvelous art gallery it is today until 1769. Your private guide will skillfully lead you through the luminous halls of this fantastic museum, taking you on a journey to discover the greatest painters of the Italian art scene, from the Middle Ages to the Late Renaissance. Giotto, Botticelli, Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci are just some of the absolute geniuses whose priceless masterpieces you will have the privilege of admiring on display. These are immortal works of the magnitude of Botticelli's “The Birth of Venus” and “Primavera,” Michelangelo's “Tondo Doni” and Leonardo da Vinci's “Annunciation,” to name a few. The Uffizi is one of the largest museums in the world, but thanks to your private guide you will be sure to grasp its essence in just 2 hours.

After a short break on the Uffizi terrace, from which you can admire Piazza Signoria and Florence from above, the much-anticipated moment will finally arrive: the museum staff will open the doors of the Vasari Corridor wide, revealing one of Florence’s best-kept secrets. Designed in 1565 by Giorgio Vasari for Cosimo I de' Medici, this elevated passage allowed grand dukes to move between their private residence at Palazzo Pitti and the seat of government at Palazzo Vecchio in total safety, avoiding the crowded streets of central Florence. During the visit, the corridor offers unique views of Florence, especially the Ponte Vecchio, and architectural highlights, such as the Mannelli tower, which Vasari had to incorporate into the passage. The guide won’t provide explanations inside but will point out the most beautiful views and ingenious architectural features created by Vasari throughout the 750-meter journey.

The passage will last 30 minutes and will allow you to reach the Boboli Gardens away from the crowds, just as the Medici did centuries ago. The exit will be alongside the Buontalenti Fountain, a masterpiece of Mannerist sculpture that offers us a fascinating fusion of architecture, painting and sculpture. Once out, follow your private guide back to Piazza Signoria on a walk back along the Vasari Corridor, which will allow you to admire this work of art from the outside as well, making your experience even more complete.
