Great tour! - Our tour was fantastic. Martina was very knowledgeable and friendly and thoroughly enjoyed her job, you could tell. The 1-hour length was perfect. Would definitely recommend. This was the 2nd Liv tour we did while in Italy, and they are worth every penny.

Early morning with David! - The amazing Barbara….our second tour with her while in Florence. She was warm and welcoming as usual. She is so keen that she guided our group of five to be the VERY FIRST in the building to view David. Breathtaking it was. She provided all of the history and detail from every angle of this magnificent sculpture. A most special morning it was.

A great tour and great view of David before crowds - Martina did a great job explaining David in context on Florence and MichaelAngelo's life, along with MichaelAngelo's other sculptures on site, and even some added info about medieval art as it moved into the renaissance! Once again, LivTours lives up to it's expectations

It’s one of the two greatest sculptures in the world - It was stunning to see the David before too many visitors were in the museum. The sculpture is so perfect and so perfectly displayed that it is jaw dropping. But, do note: you will not be in the museum before the public is allowed in. The museum opens at 8:15 and you will be first in line. But the public will come in. The guide, Barbara (nicknamed Bobbi), was great at ushering me in faster than the public. But they did come in. And just to note: It was great to be in the museum in January because the crowds were limited.

Spectacular tour! Do not hesitate to book! - The David statue tour was absolutely incredible! Our guide Monica was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, so friendly and got us right to David before the large crowds arrived — her passion for art and history really brought Michelangelo’s masterpiece to life. She shared fascinating details and stories we had never heard before, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. Liv Tours has the absolute best guides and you should not hesitate to book any tours with them. This experience was a true lifetime highlight and one of those "I can't believe I am here" moments.
