Florence experiences, compared clearly
Florence’s strongest morning tours often lose their best dates first. This ranking sets out the cost, timing and meaningful difference between the options most worth reserving.
Early morning Uffizi tour for a small group, skip-the-line timed entry, expert guide, and a private option, starting at 8:00 am.
“The tour lady was knowledgeable, personable, and knew how to deliver the information to other people.”
Small-group Palazzo Vecchio tour with an English guide, skip-the-line tickets, Medici rooms, and Cerca e Trova clues tied to Inferno.
“Amazing experience! Francesa, our guide, was fantastic! She came 20 minutes before the meeting time and she explained us a lot if things. We will definitely book next time with her! Thank you, Francesca!”
Early morning Uffizi semi-private tour with fast entry, expert guide, Botticelli’s Venus, and headphones. 2 hours, $147.
“This tour was perfect for the short time we had in Florence. Our guide Ivano is terrific - incredibly knowledgable, scholarly, well traveled and a wry sense of humor! It was wonderful to be able to go into the UG with ease amongst throngs of people and Ivano took us to see all the most interesting works and relate them in modern way (think Uma Thurman as the face of Boticelli's Venus!) Our 2 teens actually kept up and kept interested. UG is huge - could take a full day for the whole gallery, but we easily saw the best works in 2 hours. Be prepared for crowds. You do…”
8:30 am small-group Uffizi tour with timed entry, Medici history, and Raphael and Botticelli highlights in about 2 hours.
“Christian was a great guide and really brought the Renaissance pros to life with his knowledge and passion!”
Small-group morning tour of Florence's Palazzo Vecchio, with Medici politics, major Renaissance art, and Dan Brown style symbols.
“Annette was fabulous. She was so very knowledgeable and took extra time to answer all our questions and provide lots of interesting tidbits. Highly highly recommend!”
Florence vintage sidecar tour through Oltrarno hills, Arno river views, and San Miniato. Optional winery tasting, small groups.
“This tour was excellent! The side car for us was a hit and our drivers Tommy and Gilberto were excellent and knew the history of Florence in detail. They drive us more outside towards the countryside drive and less touristy and it was beautiful! Loved it more than in the city. I would highly book this!”
Priority Duomo morning and Uffizi afternoon with an art-historian guide, earphones, and timed entry. Skip lines in Florence.
“Our First guide to the Duomo was very hard to hear and missed a lot of history. Our afternoon guide to the Uffuzi was fantastic - very knowledgeable and funny. Amazing works of art. He got us through the lines quickly and we enjoyed our experience.”
