Private art tours in Florence

The Uffizi and the David without the queue, the Renaissance through the eyes of an art historian: a route shaped around your taste and pace.

Florence is best read not through a guidebook but through the people who made it: Botticelli and Michelangelo, the Medici and the masters of the workshops. We take you to where the art was born, the halls of the Uffizi, the David at the Accademia, beneath Brunelleschi's dome, and tell the story so that the frescoes and the marble become living histories again, not lines in an audio guide. We have lived in Tuscany for 15 years and have spent many of them building city itineraries alongside art historians we trust ourselves. Every tour is private: no mixed groups, with skip-the-line entry, transfer from your villa or hotel, and hosting in English, Russian, Italian or German. Where it is possible, we arrange early access before opening or after-hours visits, so you can see the masterpieces almost alone.

Questions about private art tours

Is skip-the-line entry to the Uffizi and the Accademia really guaranteed?

Yes. We book priority-entry tickets with a fixed time slot, so you bypass the main queue. In high season we secure slots well ahead, as ticket offices sell out almost completely.

Can we visit the museums before opening or after hours?

Where it is possible we arrange early access before opening or after-hours visits to selected rooms, the best way to see the David or Botticelli almost alone. These formats are limited and need booking in advance.

Is the tour led by an art historian, and in which language?

Yes, by a qualified art historian. We host in English, Russian, Italian and German, choosing the language to suit your family or guests.

When is the best time to plan a Florence art tour?

The city is beautiful year-round, but July and August are hot and crowded. It is calmer and more pleasant from November to March and in the milder weeks of spring; in high season, early access and slots booked ahead make all the difference.

How do I book and what does the price depend on?
