Our guide was excellent. Very qualified and taught us a lot about the gallery and all its works. We learned a lot about the David.
The guided tour, talking 👄 about David a lot. They didn't tell us that you can't have any liquid in your bag. I purchased two small wines as a survivor that I throw it away during security check
Dear farzaneh_r, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your experience at the security checkpoint. Please note that security regulations, including restrictions on bringing liquids into the venue, are set and enforced by the museum and are unfortunately outside our control. We appreciate your comments and hope you still enjoyed discovering Michelangelo's David during your guided visit.
Worth the time to take a guided tour as you learn a lot of things you probably wouldn't know about the statue David and Michelangelo. It was well organized. The tour operator was pleasant and well spoken. And you really want to skip the line in the heat!
The meeting point was easy to find. Getting into the academia was maybe a 10 minute wait security and we were in. The guide Marcello was great. And there was a gift shop for more could you want?
Angela was our guide. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for the sites she showed us was amazing. We really enjoyed ourselves !
Valentina was extremely engaging. And knowledgeable…Kept everyone involved with her commentary. Michaelangelo was alive for the group. Perfect length for the tour.
It was the best decision to use the City Wonders tour group. Patrice did a great job with our tour as she was knowledgeable about the exhibits and local history surrounding them.
Great tour with City Wonders and guide Valentino. The tour included more than we expected. Valentino was very knowledgeable, fun and enjoyable.
Paulina was a wonderful tour guide! We thoroughly enjoyed the experience!
