Amazing guide. Great information, very defined period of time. Amazing explanation of all of Michelangelo's sculptures in the museum.
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.
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.
Learned interesting information about Michelangelo and the David. Guide was professional knowledgeable and engaging
Not overall impressed with tour. Was loud and hard to hear/understand tour guide. Crowded museum and not really my style of art. David was very impressive, but would not do a tour next time.
The first sight of David was a humbling experience, the scale of the work and the energy that he emanated was palpable, in spite of the gallery being full of visitors. Our guide’s enthusiasm and passion for his subject material was infectious and he made the experience a whole lot more meaningful i strongly recommend Maestro tours.
Informative tour. Worth using the guided tour. Learned a lot about the statues along with some hidden secrets we would not have found otherwise.
