Crowded and Still waited in line
The guide’s explanations were clear and interesting. Still had to wait in line at least half an hour. The museum was crowded which made for a uncomfortable experience at times.

Fans of Viator!
Well organized, well narrated and audio equipment was excellent. Only way to go and we are fans of Viator!

Deceptive! Read the fine lines!
Do NOT book! This is a scam. We bought our tickets and less than 24 hours before the tour i was contacted by the company through WhatsApp asking for 25 euros per person, in addition to the initial cost, cash only in order to get our tickets. Through some back and forth through Viator we were finally refunded. Grateful we got our money back, but not without a huge headache. Save yourself the nightmare of working with this company.

Fantastic tour guide
Mario is the best guide I have ever taken a tour with. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and even more important passionate about Michelangelo’s work. He provides serious insights with intelligence and inspires his guests with his enthusiastic presentation. He keeps everyone on his tour engaged and involved. His tour was truly a work of fine art.

Truly mind blowing
Seeing Michelangelo’s David in person has been a lifelong dream, and it completely exceeded my expectations. I was absolutely blown away by its incredible size, detail, and complexity. No picture could ever do it justice—you truly have to stand in front of it to appreciate how breathtaking it is. An unforgettable experience and a moment I’ll cherish forever!

Terrible
My wife and I booked a guied tour to see the Michael at the museum, we couldn't find our guide, the museum would not let people in because of the tremendous storm that flooded the streets, we were not allowed to go and when I emailed your company I was told under no circumstances do you give refunds. This is very disappointing and troubling on how you treat your customers, when I put my trust in your company when I book events I expect the same respect and understanding.

Definitely a must see!

Just buy an advance timed ticket
Getting in to see the David is a zoo. I thought the best way might be to book through this tour. Unfamiliar with the scene, I was shocked that you have to pay an addition 48 Euros for the tickets to get into the museum. Just buy the tickets in advance and enjoy the sculpture. Stay away from the organized tours.
