Let’s celebrate this essential figure with the best tours!

We can argue tourist guides are the spine of Italian tourism. Thanks to them we are able to organize the greatest tours and bring groups around with someone who is an expert and can answer to any crazy question one may have.

But even for locals, a guide is essential to experience tours, museum, monuments, in a way that is not shallow. Guides’ insights make everything memorable and important. They give us a new gaze on what we are seeing. They actually make us enjoy it.

Let’s have a look to what we think are the most important tours one have to do with a tourist guide!

Musei Vaticani

The Vatican Museums are a real door into the past and into the greatest minds that walked Italy. Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raffaello. Each painting require that details are explained. The Sistine Chapel is something breathtaking. But it’s even more breathtaking when you learn the effort Michelangelo put into it, the design and the phisycal toll he endured. The meaning behind each character that is painted. The enthusiasm and knowledge of a tourist guide is necessary to truly enjoy such majestic and complex art.

Galleria degli Uffizi

The Uffizi Gallery in Florence is the most visited museum in Italy. So many famous paintings are here made by the greatest painters: Caravaggio, Botticelli, Giotto, Leonardo. It’s easy to get overwhelmed and loose focus when such amazing art is around you. And to know the secrets behind it makes it even more special.

With the help of a guide one is able to not get lost in the many rooms and the huge gardens and to learn the stories of who used to live there.
