An interesting and enjoyable tour - Costanza was a great guide, who had a clear love for the artistry and history of Florence. We really got to enjoy the Accademia, as well as all the other beautiful art in Florence. Only drawback was that because our tour was on a Sunday, we couldn't go into the Duomo (but honestly, the outside was so breathtaking that we didn't really mind). A great way to see some of the highlights of Florence with an intelligent and passionate guide.

Take the tour if you want to learn the history of Florence and easily see important landmarks. - Chiara was amazing! Knowledgeable. Detailed. We had so much fun with her. We learned a lot in the museum tours with her. Explanations of the paintings in the museum was important to have!

Do not miss on top attractions in Florence, specially the David statue. - Fantastic way to visit the Accademia and see without any rush the David statue. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided many details as we covered all sites expected to be covered in the tour. This was worth our investment (time and money)

We thoroughly enjoyed... - We thoroughly enjoyed this tour! I wish I could remember our guide’s name because she was perfect. She had deep knowledge about each part of the tour. You could tell she could speak for hours about each topic but only provided the key details to help us appreciate what we were seeing and then letting us enjoy the art, architecture, history of the places we visited. This tour was a great way to see some key elements of Florence with some structure to help pull it all together. Highly recommended!

Michelangelo’s David, Piazza del Duomo and Art was Impressive - We are so happy we chose this tour and loved our guide Matt! We loved Matt’s enthusiasm about everything we saw, not to mention his knowledge about Michelangelo’s David was impressive. I walked away from this tour with a whole new perspective and appreciation for the Piazza del Duomo and Florence, in addition to learning about the variations between Medieval and Renaissance art.

Best of Florence Academia and Duomo - Nice but brief tour through Academia to see the original David and the Duomo, along with brief outdoor tour of local area. Seemed like we skipped over a lot to see in both locations, but definitely got to see the highlights. This was NOT a “Skip the line” tour as advertised, and we had to stand outside in the rain for about 20 minutes to get into the Duomo. Tour guide was very informative. Enjoyed the experience.
