Hi

I'm going on the classic cities of Italy tour. I'm thinking of buying tickets in advance for the Uffizi gallery in Florence. Are we likely to have time to go?. Not sure if it's worth paying for a ticket in advance.

Thanks

Tim

Hi Alison, there will be free time in Florence from approximately 12:30 till 16:00, so you could visit the gallery then.

Thanks,

Tim

Just a little warning - a couple of weeks ago I went on one of these day trip operators tour that said "skip the line", but it still took 30 minutes or so to get inside as you have to go through very inefficient airport style security, so that may impact on your available time

Hello Alison

I went on a recent tour to Florence ( not with JY - put it together ourselves!!!!) and my friend and I booked a tour with a guide around the Uffizi Gallery . We booked on line before going. The tour was excellent - we bypassed the long queues and the guide was VERY informative - took us to all the important exhibits , gave us just enough information on each, and told us about what and where the other exhibits of interest would be. This took 2 hours and we could then stay as long as we wanted in the Gallery. We felt is was money very well spent. Have a wonderful time in Italy - lovely country :thumbup:RLJ
