Private Guided Tour to the Vasari Corridor and the Uffizi Gallery

About this tour

Access Florence's newly reopened Vasari Corridor with a private guide, then explore the Uffizi Gallery's masterworks. This 3-hour tour pairs the Renaissance bridge's hidden passageway—closed for eight years—with one of Europe's finest art collections.

Ideal for those wanting to move beyond standard museum visits and experience the city's artistic depths on their own schedule.

What to expect

You'll begin at the Vasari Corridor, the 16th-century elevated walkway built to connect the Palazzo Vecchio and Uffizi without descending to street level. Your guide joins you inside but explains points of interest through gesture and direction rather than formal commentary—a 30-minute walk taking in the corridor's views and architectural details. Afterwards, you move into the Uffizi Gallery proper, where your guide provides interpretation of the collection's highlights and works with you at a pace that suits your interests. Expect to spend roughly 90 minutes there. The experience is private to your group, though the Corridor itself may share space with up to 25 visitors total during your time slot.
