This tour was... - This tour was exceptional. Irina was really friendly and knowledgeable. There is no way we would’ve experienced David and the other works in the gallery were we to have done this tour on our own, and without her adding all of the extra insights that she did. If you come to see David, you should absolutely do so with a guide. And if you do, you should book this tour with her.

Nice way to experience the masterpiece - Our guide, Irina, was very knowledgeable and brought a lot of new information to our experience. The museum for David is admittedly small but learning all the new information regarding Michaelangelo and the David itself was enlightening.

The David - This was so exceptional. Paying for a private tour first thing in the morning. I got so much knowledge and respect for my being overwhelmed. I can't say how much joy and deep meaning this gave me. If you love Michelangelo this is for you

Very rewarding - The tour was extremely informative, learning many things I would have missed without the guide. Although pricey, the personal tour with just three other family members made it special. We all feel it was the highlight of our trip so far.

Great private tour of David - Irina was amazing … great tour guide. Logistically things were very easy - she kept us well informed. From a tour perspective, she provided very interesting and insightful information that we would otherwise not have known. She studied Art History and really made our visit to the Gallery and David so worthwhile. She provided so much history in a short period of time. We skipped the line and went right in to the gallery upon arrival. Highly recommend!

The David was even better with Irina as a guide! - Irina was incredibly knowledgeable and a fantastic guide!! It is a far better experience to visit the David with her than without her. She provided details, information and history that made the visit truly wonderful. She is also a lovely person. I highly recommend hiring Irina in Florence to enhance the trip. Tanya
