Start your tour with a visit to the Uffizi Gallery. Established in 1560 by Cosimo I de’ Medici, the Uffizi didn’t become the celebrated art gallery we know today until 1769. Your expert guide will lead you through the museum's elegant halls, offering a deeper understanding of masterpieces by celebrated artists like Giotto, Botticelli, Michelangelo, and Leonardo da Vinci.

Admire iconic works such as Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus and Primavera, Michelangelo’s Tondo Doni, and da Vinci’s Annunciation. Thanks to your guide’s insight, you’ll experience the essence of the Uffizi in just two hours.

After a short break on the Uffizi terrace, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of Piazza della Signoria and Florence's skyline, the long-awaited moment arrives. The museum staff will open the doors to the Vasari Corridor, revealing one of the city’s best-kept secrets.

Designed in 1565 by Vasari at the request of Cosimo I de’ Medici, the corridor was built to offer the Medici family a safe and private route between their residence at Palazzo Pitti and the government headquarters at Palazzo Vecchio, avoiding the busy streets below.

As you walk through the 750-meter corridor, your guide will tell you about the history of the passageway, which connects Palazzo Vecchio to Palazzo Pitti, weaving through medieval towers, churches, and even crossing the famous Ponte Vecchio.
