A wonderful way to discover Florence
Our tour of Florence with Vera, our guide, was wonderful and we really enjoyed it. We visited the Accademia, the Uffizi Gallery and the Vasari Corridor. Vera knows the city very well and shared little details, anecdotes and curiosities that made our visit even more interesting. It was a truly enjoyable and enriching experience.

Guide as very knowledgeable and provided great insight to the Gallery. The David statue was incredible and inspired even greater awe with our guide’s insights. A must see and the tour’s head of the line entry was really nice.

Learning to love art
We had a guide named Vera. She taught us so much. Not familiar with the arts, and now I feel like I have a true interest. Thank you, Vera.

Operator response
Hello,
thank you for your booking and for taking the time to share your wonderful feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Accademia Tour and that it was a memorable experience for your group.
The story behind Michelangelo's David is truly remarkable—full of history, ambition, and artistic genius—and it is one of my favorite stories to share. No matter how many times I tell it, it never ceases to inspire me.
Thank you again for joining us. It was a pleasure to have you, and we hope to welcome you back to Florence in the future.
With best wishes, Lori
