  After exploring the Uffizi Gallery, your experience will continue with the Vasari Corridor. Please note that, due to museum regulations, the guide will not be able to provide explanations inside the Corridor. However, you will have the privilege of admiring ancient and modern Florence from above. Walking along the Corridor, you will be able to take in breathtaking panoramic views of Ponte Vecchio, the Arno River and the Oltrarno district. It will be like stepping back in time, reliving the thrill of moving through the same places and in such an exclusive setting that was once reserved only for royal members as the Medici family. The experience will end by passing through the door located next to the suggestive Grotta del Buontalenti, inside the marvellous Boboli Gardens. From here, together with your guide, you will have the opportunity to retrace the Vasari Corridor by observing it from the outside, appreciating the architectural details such as the passage around the Mannelli Tower.

  The Vasari Corridor walk will last 30 minutes and will allow you to reach the Boboli Gardens away from the crowds, just as the Medici did centuries ago. The exit will be alongside the Buontalenti Fountain, a masterpiece of Mannerist sculpture that offers us a fascinating fusion of architecture, painting and sculpture. Once out, follow your private guide back to Piazza Signoria on a walk back along the Vasari Corridor, which will allow you to admire this work of art from the outside as well, making your experience even more complete.
