Half-day of Italian masterpieces at the Uffizi and Accademia

WITH
Norie | about the guide

NOTE: The tour does not take place on Mondays as the Uffizzi and the Accademia are closed.


If Italy is famous as being the birthplace of the Renaissance, Florence is one of its most beautiful Renaissance artworks. Not only do the narrow streets, charming squares and marble churches showcase 15th and 16th architecture at its best, but the city is also home to world-famous galleries including the Galleria dell’Accademia di Firenze and the Uffizzi. Your art history tour will begin with an inspiring visit to the Galleria dell’Accademia di Firenze, focusing on the work and techniques of Renaissance sculptor Michelangelo. Home to his world-famous David statue and the unfinished sculptures of the Slaves for the tomb of Pope Julius II, the Accademia will plunge you into a world of Renaissance art filled with vast paintings and towering statues. After a revitalizing coffee break in a nearby café, you will then discover one of the most famous museums in the world. Visiting the Uffizi is a fascinating experience that reveals how Italian painting developed between the Middle Ages and the High Renaissance. During your 2-hour guided visit, you will find out more about key Medieval and Renaissance artists including Giotto, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael.

Florence

Dutch born, I lived in Haarlem until the age of 19, then I moved to Amsterdam to study art history. During my studies I did an Erasmus exchange program and studied in Florence for a few months. I graduated in 1997 in Amsterdam but I had fallen in love with Florence so I decided to come back in 2001 thanks to a research scholarship from the Dutch University Institute of Art in Florence. In 2005, I married a Florentine and started my tour guide career. I enjoy being an art historian and I believe that as a tour guide, one has to know less about art history, but much more about every aspect of this city such as gastronomy, fashion, and music. So combining the two professions is ideal! I love mixing art with other disciplines of culture and seeing people enjoy themselves. The walking tour combined with literature and Italian gastronomy is one of my favorites!
