This tour is expensive (we were charged $178USD p.p. after all ticket prices and fees added) for what is actually provided. A lot of "down time", waiting to view exhibits and an hour 20 minute lunch break left little time to actually spend in the museums. In the Uffizi, we were disappointed that the Tribune with the Medici Venus wasn't included as well as the entire first floor, it was optional to stay after tour and explore on your own which we did and feel would have been a wiser decision for the entire day.
