Always have a guide to skip the little things an spend time on what you came to really see unless you have the entire day to send.

Great review of Michelangelo, the artist and the inspiration behind his creativity. Also great information about each artistic period and how each period affected the style of art and finally the moment of seeing the David. Also visiting the instrumental museum was an added bonus! Martina was friendly and knowledgeable.

Great guide, you get one earpiece and she gave a great interesting narrative. It’s loud there and so busy it can still be hard to hear. You could bring your own plug in headphones I assume and it could be easier.

Our guide Alfonso is very knowledgeable and patient in answering to questions. The masterpiece is incredible and super interesting to understand Michelangelo’s methodology and observe David in close distance seeing all the details. Wish the tour can include more content with the price.

Our guide Nina was thorough and had a good pace. She gave us all the nuances of Michelangelo’s styles in sculpture and painting and how his sculptures were almost coming alive from the marble. Wonderful details shared.

Skip the line was great since the general admission line was very long in the hot sun. Tour was informative and fun. Excellent museum.
Pick up point 39 is near the entrance not further back which also says 39 on the wall. Missed our slot. Not our fault no Internet so did not receive call.
Tour was a good length. Guide did well with keeping us out of the way when we stopped but her microphone cut out several times. Overall, a great museum and tour.
Julia was a very good guide, interesting and engaging. The intercom system was the best we’ve experienced as well. I didn’t expect to be so impressed by Michelangelo’s David, but it is definitely worth seeing!
