Our guide for the Academia with Marta was excellent! Her passion for Michelangelo was contagious. Best tour guide of our trip. Our guide for the Uffizi was very good, but he had audio technology issues and he didn’t use the audio system, making hearing him difficult, which was disappointing.

The Lady tour guide was very good for the Accademia, but the male guide for the Uffizi was terrible. The lunch was very basic. No transport between tours. Or maps given.

Perfect tour as gave specific information that was interesting and relevent and didnt drag on like some tours do. My 15 year old son said it was one of his favourite tours for our Europe trip as he throughly enjoyed the guide.
Great tour! Maria Christina was very knowledgeable which helped us appreciate the incredible artwork we saw! She also ended up giving us a “bonus” tour:) At the end of the tour my daughter asked where we could find a specific painting. Maria Christina took us there herself and told us about the artist along the way. It was an unexpected kindness that also demonstrated Maria Christina’s passion for her work as a guide.Thank you, Maria Christina! On a scale of 1 to 10, Maria Christina was an 11! On a side note, we booked lunch with the tour. The food was ok. In hindsight I would say, just focus on the art and you can find lunch on your own.
Seeing David was the best part of the tour. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and very helpful. She was from Bologna but I don’t remember her name.
