We did the best of Florence walking tour and then the Academia Museum.
Alicia was terrific! She was so knowledgeable about the history of Florence as well as all of the art we visited.

Guided Tour Highly Recommend
Can't imagine having seen Michaelangelo's David in Florence without our guide. His insight and knowledge of the entire museum was amazing, but the mini lecture about Michaelangelo's design of David and the sculpture's details made it all the more impactful. Highly recommend for those interested in the arts.

A MUST DO!
The e-bike tour was easily one of my favorite things I did in Florence! It was such a fun and adventurous way to experience the city, with absolutely breathtaking views along the way. It truly felt like the perfect way to see Florence from a different perspective. Gabriele was also a wonderful tour guide: friendly, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about the city. I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Florence!

The girl who explained everything to us was wonderful. She managed to make her explanation of the David give us goosebumps. Thank you very much

The Statue of David - Tour Guide Fabio
Our tour with Fabio was nothing short of fantastico when coming to see the statue of David and all the other classical art of the Renaissance. We really appreciated his impeccable knowledge of the subject area and his pointing out of the many tiny details of not only the statue of David, all the other art and musical instruments within the gallery spaces. I highly recommend a tour with Fabio!
J
