Private Tour of Vasari Corridor and Uffizi Gallery

About this experience

Private Tour of Vasari Corridor and Uffizi Gallery This 3-hour private guided tour combines two of Florence's most exclusive art experiences: the world-renowned Uffizi Gallery and the rarely accessible Vasari Corridor. You'll skip the queues and explore over 1,500 artworks spanning from Ancient Greece to the 18th century, with exceptional Renaissance masterpieces taking centre stage. Your private guide provides commentary in English, French, Italian or Spanish, tailoring the experience to your interests. The highlight comes after the gallery visit when you access the historic Vasari Corridor, a 1km private walkway built for the Medici family. This secret passage connects the Uffizi to Palazzo Vecchio and Palazzo Pitti, offering stunning views over Florence's rooftops and the Arno River. The corridor is seldom open to the public, making this tour particularly special for art enthusiasts seeking an exclusive perspective on Florence's artistic heritage. Your tour covers the Botticelli Room with Primavera and The Birth of Venus, Michelangelo's Doni Tondo, Raphael's Madonna of the Goldfinch, and Leonardo da Vinci's Annunciation. You'll also see works by Artemisia Gentileschi, Caravaggio, Titian, and other Renaissance masters. For those interested in exploring more of Florence's artistic treasures, consider booking an Accademia Gallery tour to see Michelangelo's David.
