Discover the Vasari Corridor and the Uffizi Gallery

An exclusive journey through Florence’s most iconic masterpieces and secret passageways

Join us for a private tour that takes you deep into the artistic soul and political heart of Renaissance Florence. From the world-renowned Uffizi Gallery to the mysterious Vasari Corridor, this experience offers a rare blend of beauty, history, and intrigue—perfect for travelers seeking something truly special.

In the Florence Heart: The Uffizi Gallery

Your journey begins inside the Uffizi Gallery, one of the oldest and most celebrated art museums in the world. With your private, expert guide by your side, you’ll bypass the long lines and step straight into a treasure trove of Italian art. Admire Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus” and “Primavera,” marvel at Leonardo da Vinci’s “Annunciation,” and stand in awe before Michelangelo’s “Doni Tondo.” You'll explore the evolution of Renaissance art through the works of Giotto, Caravaggio, Titian, and Raphael, gaining a deeper understanding of the artistic genius that shaped Western culture.

A gift for the Medici Family: the Vasari Corridor.

Built in 1565 by Giorgio Vasari for the powerful Medici family, this secret elevated walkway stretches from the Uffizi, across the Ponte Vecchio, to the Pitti Palace on the other side of the Arno River. It was designed so the Medici could move freely and safely between their government offices and residence—hidden from the public eye.

Today, the Corridor remains one of Florence’s most fascinating spaces, typically closed to the public but accessible on this special tour. As you walk its length, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of the city and Arno River, and discover a remarkable collection of self-portraits by artists from the Renaissance to the 20th century, lining the walls of this narrow passageway.

This is more than a museum visit—it’s a step inside the very fabric of Florence’s history, where art, architecture, and politics intertwine.
