This tour was amazing. Our guide Eleanor was vibrant and knowledgeable. After the tour she took us to other historic buildings in the area that we would probably never have seen. She was incredible. Thank you

Amazing! Our guide Charles was very knowledgeable and informative! He brought David to life and shared interesting tidbits of Michaelangelo and Florence! It was very hot (100 degrees) and he looked for shade to view the sites as we walked around. Great way to get acquanted with Florence. Thanks Charles!

This is an awesome tour to get to see the highlights of Florence if you only have limited time. The statue of David was AMAZING, walking the streets and understanding the history was very intriguing, and inside the Duomo is very beautiful.

Tour of LAccademia with focus on David and works by Michelangelo was amazing. Tour guide was brilliant on David and the politics of sculpture. Lot of rest of the tour was lost due to excessive detail. Would prefer focus on sculptures, not so much Duomo which I got on other tours. Brilliant tour for enlightened thinkers. I should have brought a notebook with me as I loved contextualization of Ghiberti, Brunelleschi and in particular Michelangelo. I would take this tour again! Maybe in less heat!

Tour guide was very informative, and showed us a lot in the museum, church, and surrounding area. Skip the line is great, especially on hot day. Tours like this are really useful especially for first time visitors like us.

Our guide, Regina, was nothing short of fabulous. She had an incredible wealth of information regarding the sites we visited . She described the city, the structures and the artworks including the amazing history that surrounded them. She was friendly, engaging and so willing to answer our questions. The tour gave us a great introduction to Florence as we explored the Galleria dell'Accademia, Duomo, Galleria deali Uffizi (outside) and the Ponte Vecchio. Thank you Regina!

Our tour guide Julia was outstanding! She was informative, humorous, and provided us with an enormous amount of information on the culture and history of Florence. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a general overview of Florence with an emphasis on the David statue and key sites.

Our guide was not only sweet and knowledgeable but very easy going. She answered everyone’s questions and gave in sites beyond other tour guides I had throughout my trip through Italy. She was easy to understand took her time really showing us Florence.

Eritza was our guide and she brought humor and relateability to our tour. It is a great overview of Florence so you can figure out where you want to explore on your own. The tour is totally worth it to skip the line at the Academia to see the Statue of David, and maximize your time, plus you learn things about the statue you wouldnt know seeing it on your own. I highly recommend it, plus our guide gave us a terrific restaurant recommendation on the south side of the Ponte Vecchio Bridge to see that section of Florence, and have a great meal with the locals!

I would return to Italy just for this tour! Our guide was the very best and has true love for Florence. She taught us so much about Michelangelo and the history that led to this masterpiece. I booked many many tours and this was by far the favorite for my husband and I.
