Olivia clearly LOVED art and especially David. She did an amazing job explaining what David represented to the people of Florence!
Booking, guide, experience top class
Another amazing tour — this company was great and our guide was outstanding. He made sure the whole group stayed together, even calling people to make sure no one got lost, and provided mics so everyone could hear clearly. He smartly took us to the most important works first and moved at a pace that was thorough but never dragged — he even kept my teenager engaged, which says a lot! Several other tours cancelled on us last minute and left us scrambling. Don’t make the same mistake I did: book this one first.
Our guide, Ali, was so nice and so knowledgeable about Michelangelo's David. It made the experience of seeing the Statue of David more interesting and more enriching. My family was very happy with him. Highly recommended.
Amazing guide. Great information, very defined period of time. Amazing explanation of all of Michelangelo's sculptures in the museum.
Thank you for your kind words! It means a lot to know that you found the tour informative and enjoyed learning about Michelangelo's sculptures. We truly appreciate your support and hope to see you again on another tour!
This was the biggest waste of money ever. The tour guide was not informative or even friendly. The entrance fee isn’t even included in the ticket! Please save yourself the pain and just buy an entrance ticket to see the David and read about the art online.
We respectfully disagree with several points in this review. The entrance fee is clearly disclosed as not included in the product description, so this should not have come as a surprise. Our tour focuses on the highlights of the Accademia Gallery, including Michelangelo's David, exactly as advertised. We are sorry the experience did not match your personal expectations, but we stand by the accuracy of our listing.
Guide was knowledgeable about the museum, including some interesting bits of history about David. My only criticism is that it was difficult to find the tour guide at the time of the tour. The directions were vague, and there was no sign as indicated. But we did manage to ask the right people and find him.
Every one on the tour met in the Piazza delle Belle Arti, 15 minutes before tour. Radios & earphones were handed out and tested. Then we walked about 50 metres to the Accademia Gallery, through security screening, which was very fast. The tour was about an hour and our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend.
Claudio was an excellent guide. He gave us not only incredible factual information into the work of Michelangelo, but also a sense of the shifts in the emotional tone and impact of the statue of David as we moved around it. Wonderful!
Wonderful, wonderful experience. Our Guide was Greeeaaattt and knew so much about the history of the Statue of David. I never knew the statue was of David from David n Goliath of the Bible until this tour.
