Laurie was our tour guide and was fantastic! She provided us a great story of Michelangelo. We really enjoyed our tour.
Hello, thank you for your booking and for taking the time to share your wonderful feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Accademia Tour and that it was a memorable experience for your group. The story behind Michelangelo's David is truly remarkable—full of history, ambition, and artistic genius—and it is one of my favorite stories to share. No matter how many times I tell it, it never ceases to inspire me. Thank you again for joining us. It was a pleasure to have you, and we hope to welcome you back to Florence in the future. With best wishes, Lori
Vera was the best tour guide ever! Extremely knowledgeable, and very engaging! 10/10 would recommend specifically with Vera!!
Vera was wonderful and do knowledgeable! Great experience,
The tour guide focused on all the history and information about the sculpture of David. It was very interesting. Excellent tour guide.
We had a wonderful experience with Vera for the one hour tour. We arrived 15 min ahead of the scheduled time and were pleased to be able to take a seat at the office prior to meeting our guide. Vera was knowledgeable and engaging. We told her we had just been on a Vatican tour and she connected our experience there to what we saw in the museum. She was accommodating and responsive to our questions. It was quick and efficient. We had a lovely time and visit. Well worth it to be guided past the lines and ushered around. Highly recommend!
Vera was very knowledgeable and engaging! Would recommend!!
Great insightful tour! Guide was very knowledgeable Better than going in by yourself and not understanding the statue and history of all the other paintings and statues
The lines were long but we went right in with our guide: she was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic when telling the story of the times, of many sculptors, and of course, of Michaelangelo and his sculpture of David. Very enjoyable!
Hello Molly, thank you so much for booking with us and for taking the time to leave such wonderful feedback — we truly appreciate it! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour, and it was a pleasure having you with us. We hope to welcome you again on another adventure soon!
Informative tour. Great tour guide.. learned the history of the amazing statue David. the Medici family.
This tour was absolutely perfect and exactly what my group of 4 was looking for in a tour. It was quick—an hour—and didn’t have to worry about entrance tickets ourselves as it was included. Our tour guide was very informative and we learned quite a bit in our hour. Highly recommend doing this tour to get the most out of your experience seeing the gallery and David!
