Hi, my name is Valentina and i'm a tour guide of Florence and Pisa. I'm finding your lectures so interesting and funny and i wanted to thank you for sharing it here :) I'm also "shuttering" and "hesitant" when I'm trying to find the right words to let people fully understand the amazing artworks of Florence, by the way i think you are finding the perfect words to make them accessible to everyone , thanx again

Dear Sarah, enjoyed your tour of the Uffizi very much. Your tip of treating a museum visit as a 'treasure hunt' and focusing on a few pieces rather than trying to see it all was really great. We tracked down each of the pieces your described in your lecture and enjoyed them a lot more than we would have had 'passing by'. Thanks!

I know nothing about art really and was utterly blown away by this museum when I went to visit in May of 2023; extremely overwhelming and also exhausting if you're not in good shape (we walked 16000 steps in just one day at Uffizi and downtown Florence). You will enjoy this museum way more if you watch a few videos like this prior to going and great advice about focusing on a smaller segment of the works rather than trying to fly through this huge museum.......great video!
