Very efficient tour but with plenty of time for viewing David. Reliable and on-time guide. She provided interpretation of several works in the museum but most importantly she was able to walk us right past a giant line and right in to see David for as long as we wished.
Short tour but very informative. Elia was a wonderful guide. I would recommend this tour if you’re short on time and your main focus is to see David and a few other sculptures of Michelangelo.

Marius was a very knowledgeable and passionate host who gave very detailed perspective of Michaelangelo's David which enabled a very moving appreciation for this masterpiece. Would not have been as memorable without his presentation!

We had an amazing time with Gabriel and Fabio. As others have mentioned due to construction be prepared to walk about 15 mins to the bus but after that it’s pure relaxation and beauty. Highly recommend.
