Does anyone know if either Uffizi or Academia will have evening tours this summer?
Scrolling down the google search, it looks like they did this in the past. We arrive at 15:30 by train and need to get checked in at the hotel. Would love to get in to one of the museums with extended hours on that first day.
The b-ticket website for the Uffizi and Accademia indicates some later hours during high season:

But info for the Uffizi isn't consistent.
Click on the blue headline text in the box for the Uffizi and and info box pops up with this line under "Opening hours":
"From 5 June to 25 September (with the exception of August 14) extended open time: 8:15-22:00"
But clicking on "Buy your tickets" and then a green "Tickets" box brings up this text:
"Every Tuesday and Wednesday from 5 June to 26 September extended open time: 8:15-22:00"
As a quick look around the web shows Viator peddling an "Uffizi by Night" small-group tour on Tuesdays and Weds. only (from June 5), it looks like extended hours apply only to those two days of the week.
Extended hours stated for the Accademia appear to be consistent:
"Every Tuesday from 5 June to 25 September extended open time: 8:15-22:00"
What luck on the extended hours. We arrive on 5 June, the day the extended hours start.
We arrive on 5 June, the day the extended hours start.
And that's a Tuesday so you're golden at either place! Woo-hoo!
