Excellent tour! The guide at Accademia was top class! She as passionate about the subject and provided us with detailed insights into the techniques, very easy even for a novice in art history to understand. She also built up excitement until we saw David! The bus tour though could have been more informative. This was led by a different guide. Overall well organised!”

Great way to get a quick orientation of Florence. The bus trip is a quick trip then walking tour through the city. Worth the value. Our tourist did a great job leading the excitement to view David! Remember to book your climb to the Duomo at least a day or two as it does not allow same day climb.”

Excelente guía sabía mucho de la ciudad y nos guió por el museo hacia lo más relevante e impactante. Antes del museo pudimos disfrutar de una visita en bus a Fiesole. Muy recomendado”

“

Only did first half of this tour, great views from hill. Waited in line to see David for approx 30 minutes not too bad I thought considering the people about, excellent visit to the museum and guide Alexander was very passionate about her boyfriend David provided plenty of laughs while delivering a great deal of knowledge, walk to the church and once again the information provided was excellent, be ready for lots of people though the square was packed. Lunch was provided we did pay extra 3 course with wine, good quality Italian food . At this stage we decided to leave tour instead of going back to the station to start again our choice but I am sure the second half of the day would have been great too if they had Alexander as their guide”

Great way to see some of the best highlights of Florence in a day! Both our morning and afternoon tour guides were excellent and really knew a lot about this lovely city! It was nice to be able to skip the lines at Accademia and Uffizi!”

Probably one of the best tours we've taken anywhere in the world. Too much to see in half a day but our guide took us to what he felt were the best of the best things to see - who were we to disagree?”

Amazing tour”

Lani S • Submitted 30 Jul 2017

“

You think you know what the David looks like but there is nothing that compares to seeing it in person. My husband and I did the half-day tour of the Accademia gallery. It was packed and busy but the art is amazing! We were totally captivated. The view from Piazzale Michelangelo was epic! We opted to add on the lunch and it was excellent as well. We plan to visit again to do the Uffizi gallery sometime!”

We were a little disappointed that we would not be seeing the David it was Monday but our tour was great- we took a bus ride to a town overlooking the city and then on a walking tour and visit to the city hall.”
