Great
Uffizi was great but one should bear in mind the Vasari corridor is a glorified hallway that takes time away from the Uffizi itself and just lands you a 40 euros uber ride away from city center (unless you had business at palazzo pitti afterwards). Half the price is basically skip the line, and if so, the other half isnt worth it for the Vasari corridor, which also has no artwork worth mentioning.

Fantastic experience with Annette. It was a very informative and educational tour and it was a small group so we had freedom to ask and comment on the works of art.
