At the Uffizi with children - I went to the Uffizi on Sunday 28 January with my family and some friends. Our guide Letizia Scarpelli made the visit special. Our 10 year old children had a playful but at the same time educational experience thanks to his guidance. I highly recommend this visit with her 🤗

Highly recommended - Letizia was very good: she prepared a complete itinerary, carefully choosing the number of works of art that the children were able to support and creating a chronological itinerary of the history of art from Cimabue to Michelangelo. The visit was always interactive and the children participated joyfully without ever showing signs of boredom. Great competence and interpersonal skills. We adults also had a lot of fun and discovered details and information that can't be found in tourist guides. We will definitely contact her to have her again as a guide for us and our children in other museums.

Visit to the Uffizi - Visit to the Uffizi with my 10 year old daughter, her schoolmate, my wife and a friend of ours. Letizia, you managed to involve the girls for the entire duration of the journey, which is not to be taken for granted and... you intrigued us too 😅 a very pleasant day to repeat. Very good and very prepared! Thank you! Until next time. Dario Medy Serena Celeste and Aurora

Visit Uffizi 19 November 2023 - Our tour guide Letizia followed us on our visit to the Uffizi and directed us very well, arousing curiosity and interest! I must say that I had already visited the
Museum other times in the past but with her it was more felt and participated!

Perfect! - We had the chance to do 2 visits over 2 days as a family with Letizia (a city tour and a visit to the Uffizi Gallery). The format was really great with our 2 teenagers aged 12 and 15. Letizia is very pleasant and she put herself completely at their (and our) level, we learned a lot of things, it was fascinating from start to finish. Clearly this is the moment that the children preferred in our week in Florence. One regret is not having also visited the Pitti Palace with Letizia during the week :-). Perfect moments! Thanks a lot!

FABULOUS Florence tour guide - Letizia is an AMAZING tour guide. I am not a real art/history person and she made it sooo interesting. We had so much fun and learned a lot. She is very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. If you have the option to have her as your tour guide you should do it. She will do a great job!

Enjoyed by the whole family - Our whole family really enjoyed this tour. We all learned a lot and Letizia kept both the 15 and 10 year old engaged and interested. Our 10 year old could still remember facts a couple days later, very impressed!
We were able to customize the tour to include a visit to see the highlights of the Accademia gallery, many sights of Florence and stopped for delicious gelato. We went back for more the next day...

Insightful - Letizia is knowledgeable, warm and friendly. She kept our 3 teenage children very engaged with questions centered around their knowledge in art and history. The Uffizi collection is enormous but she was able to guide us through by focussing on key elements. She also took us to the Accademia Gallery which was also very inspiring.
