Must do experience - Our travel to the tour was very hectic. Our driver could not get through several roads due to them being blocked which made us about 30 min late for our tour. They were very accommodating and accepting with the circumstances. We had a wonderful time touring the museum

Having a guide is the... - Having a guide is the only way to go!! Learned so much history not only about what the statue stands for but how it was made and the actual block of marble it was carved from. The background of Michaelangelo was incredible information and absolutely added to the experience. The hall of prisoners was such good history about Michaelangelo that I had no idea about!!

Great guide, highly recommended - I highly recommend this activity if you like to see Statue of David and learn more about Michelangelo, his life and work. Slits are filling up quickly, so the availability is limited, I highly recommend to book as soon as you know your itinerary. The process was easy, we met at the spot identified in the instructions- very close to the Academy Gallery, got our tickets from the company representative (be aware that you need to pay cash - 20 Euro a ticket, this is on top of a charge you pay during the online booking), we got our audio devices and were introduced to our guide. The group size was about 15 people. Our guide - Claudio - did fantastic job, was very knowledgeable and spoke very good English. We stayed after the official tour to have a look at other parts of the gallery and collection of musical instruments. Really great tour well worth of money spent.

The David - Claudio was an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledge about the history of michelangelo’s life and sculptures. He was passionate about the art and the genius he was. You can stay as long as you want and explore other art and musical instruments in the museum. Well worth the money!

Amazing tour guide - not so great technology - Our guide was lovely. She knew a lot about Michelangelo and the David and was obviously very interested in and passionate about the subject. The only negative was that the Crystal Sound devices that we used to hear her were not great quality. When I took it off and stood right next to her it was good, but when I used it, it was very fuzzy and I only heard about 80% of what she was saying.
