What is the Renaissance and what makes Florence the cradle of this Renaissance? Join me on one of my walking tours and I will tell you all about it. The art, the architecture but also the social history, all come together to make it an instructive yet highly enjoyable experience (there’s no exam at the end). Also, many are the less frequented Museums and churches in Florence, where you can find yourself in front of an absolute masterpiece, and no one around to bother you.

Learn about the masterpieces of Renaissance paintings and Roman statuary from the Medici collection
Overview of your Florence tour
The Uffizi Gallery houses some of the most important examples of Renaissance art anywhere in the world. It is also home to the biggest collection of Roman statuary outside of Rome. This wealth of artworks was collected over the centuries by the Medici dynasty. Visiting a museum means making choices about what to see. The selection will obviously include Giotto, Fra Filippo Lippi, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raffaello, Tiziano and goes through to the beginning of Baroque with Caravaggio and some of his famous followers (among them a woman, Artemisia Gentileschi). NB: TICKETS ARE NOT INCLUDED IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS TOUR, CONTACT ME BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY BOOKING REQUEST. YOU are RESPONSIBLE for BOOKING and PURCHASING your tickets with the appropriate time-slot of your choice, on the official website, and choosing the time slot.

We had a fantastic tour of the Uffizi Gallery with Manolis. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about art and history. He brought the masterpieces to life with fascinating stories, insight into the artists’ lives, and helpful explanations that made even the works feel fresh and exciting. The pacing was perfect—never rushed—and he made sure we saw all the highlights as well as a few hidden gems we would have missed on our own. His warmth and enthusiasm made the experience educational and truly enjoyable. We learned a lot, but there was no quiz at the end! If you’re visiting Florence, I can’t recommend Manolis highly enough. It was one of the highlights of our trip!

We had a great time with Manolis. He is well versed in the art of the Uffizi and was able to help us see the highlights of this enormous collection.

Our tour of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence was fantastic! Manolis managed to keep our entire group of 14 people (ranging in age from 10 to 80 years old) engaged, informed and entertained. Super knowledgeable, relaxed and well organised. Could not have been better!

Great tour with Manolis. Would have never understood works of art at Uffizi without him. Perfectly customized to highlight the must see pieces. With his sense of humor he made the hours fly by. Would highly recommend him
