Raphael did an excellent job making the tour interesting for both my wife and I as well as our kids (ages 8 and 11). He met us where we were staying and gave us a tour and answered tons of questions about Florence along the route to Accademia to see David. I would definitely recommend going later in the day as the crowds were minimal when we arrived.
This tour is a great way to see highlights of the museum with a guide. Raphael is highly knowledgeable and did a wonderful job leading us through the medieval city streets while discussing Michelangelo. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn more about the artist and his works while exploring Firenze!
Dear Jillian, Thanks a lot for your very kind words, I'm extremely happy because you have enjoyed the tour with us Hope to see you soon again. Wish you great holidays and the best in your life Raphael
Great info!! David was knowledgeable and pleasant. The history and context were wonderful. Thank you!
Our guide Oksana was incredible. The tour was very detailed, rich with anecdotes and interesting facts about the artist beside about the art itself. The hour flew by as we had so much fun listening to Oksana talk with so much emotion and curiosity. We definitely recommend the tour to anyone even if they have no prevouis knowledge about the rainessance. We learned a lot and I will definitely look at Michelangelo's David differently from now on.
We had a very nice time and are very happy we booked a tour to see the Statue of David. It was very nice to skip the lines and have someone know how to navigate to and explain the artwork.
As a group of 4 we did this tour and loved it. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and navigated the challenges of long lines extremely well - we did not wait at all. Our guide provided interesting information about displays in the museum and planned our visit to David perfectly. We had photos with David without anyone else around.
The tour of Michelangelo's David was truly exceptional! Our guide brought the statue to life, sharing fascinating stories about Michelangelo's genius, the historical context of the work, and the incredible detail and skill involved in its creation. The private nature of the tour allowed for a more intimate and engaging experience, with plenty of time for questions and discussion. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in art, history, or simply experiencing a masterpiece up close. Five stars! Thank you again
Our friends advised us to book this tour. And that was great advice. The guide showed us this wonderful city and managed to convey the unique atmosphere of this great city in which the Renaissance was born. Oksana explained the importance of David. Without her, it would be impossible to understand David. An unforgettable experience. I advise you.
Highly Recommend Our Guide Tour Was A Professional Who Loves His Job Showed Us A Unforgettable Experience In Florence David Statue A True Beauty. Viva Italia.
Our tour guide was so wonderfully passionate about art history in Florence. We learned so much and were able to appreciate the smaller details in the architecture of Florence after our tour (which we didn’t notice before). Once we got to David, she really took her time to walk us through Michaelango’s life as an artist and walked us around the entirety of the statue, describing every detail. It was one of our favorite parts of our trip to Florence. We learned so much more than we would’ve if we had just gone to see David on our own. I recommend bringing comfortable shoes, water, and perhaps a hat or an umbrella if you’re doing this since it’s all walking. It was extremely hot when we did it in August, but very worth it. Couldn’t recommend this more!
