Visita guiada a pequenos grupos do Museu de Galileu

This was an enjoyable tour. The tour guide seemed knowledgeable about the first half of the museum, but seemed less knowledgeable about the second half. We had time afterwards to explore on our own, which was nice.

I thought that I had a good understanding of Galileo’s life and accomplishments and then I took this tour! Ivano was an exceptional guide who took my husband and I on a tour of the Galileo Museum. The depth of his knowledge and ability to explain the development of scientific instruments and inquiry into a wonderful tour experience was just amazing! For me, seeing the actual telescopes that Galileo used was a highlight. Of course, the museum has a vast array of displays but having a guide like Ivano made all of the difference to the memories and new knowledge that we took away that day.

Ivano was an excellent guide through the museum. Great tour highlighting the advancements in chronometer, imaging, navigation, weather, and communication over time. It’s one thing to read about scientific advancements; it’s completely another to see the tools developed over time. Best experienced in small or private groups.

We really enjoyed our tour of the Galileo Museum. Fabio our guide was knowledgeable about Galileo and the other scientists that were featured in the museum. So not only did we see incredible scientific artifacts, we also got to learn the history and stories about these individuals. We were really glad we took this incredibly interesting tour.

Our teenage children, chose the small group guided tour of Galileo’s Museum, and it did not disappoint! All three of our kids are passionate about science, and this tour was perfect for sparking their curiosity even further. The museum is full of fascinating exhibits, and our guide was exceptional, knowledgeable and engaging. The small group format allowed for a more interactive experience, and the guide made sure to answer all of our kids' questions. It was a great way to introduce them to Galileo’s contributions to science, and we left with a deeper appreciation for his work. Look out for the “finger!” If you have teens who love science, this tour is a must! It was informative, fun, and absolutely worth it. Highly recommend for families looking for a unique and educational experience in Florence!

This museum is amazing, but it’s even better with a guide! We were so happy to meet our guide, who explained the sun dial out front and then took us in and walked us through so many amazing artifacts - from astrolabs to batteries and everything in between. He really helped connect the devices to their proper time, place and use. If you are interested in science, this is an incredible collection, and our guide was integral to our experience.

Cortina is exceptionally gifted as a guide. She patiently answered our questions and shared her vast knowledge about Florence. She was caring and very competent. I would highly recommend this museum as a guided tour so you get the historical context for the scientific discoveries.

The guide was very knowledgeable and helpful, and tailored the tour well for us. However, we were a little disappointed when an announcement was made that the museum was closing about 90 minutes after we arrived. This was outside the control of the guide but it would have been good to go back through the museum on our own after the guided tour had finished.

Our tour guide was so knowledgeable about tying the science and technology of Galileo and other scientists withe the other art and sculpture that we had already seen. We gained a new perspective on a different area of the Medici Family and their influence.

This was one of the best museum tours of our visit to Firenze! We had our personable, engaging and knowledgeable guide Leonardo all to ourselves and learned so much! After a few days in Firenze, we understood the Medici patronage of the arts but this tour helped us understand the lasting legacy of their patronage of the sciences. Full of intriguing instruments that Leonardo brought alive for us through historical context. This museum tour should not be missed!
