Irina made seeing the David the highlight of the trip. Thank you. - Irina gave us an absolutely wonderful experience of seeing the David. Without her it would have just been walking around and seeing an extraordinary statue. With her, the David came to life. Thank you Irena.

Excellent tour! - Irene was an excellent guide and made the David statue come alive! She spoke excellent English and had so much knowledgeable about the statue and other Michealangelo pieces! She pointed out a lot of things that you would probably miss on your own! Well worth the price!

David, medici chapel - Great Florence Tours - Irina was awesome, super smart and a really cute personality to her. She was excited to show you all around and her English (if thats what you speak) was fantastic. I have a hard time with accents and she was easy to understand.

Irina the best - Outstanding tour guide - Irina has a great personality and educated in the arts in history of Florence. She used visual tools in addition of her superb linguistic abilities to draw our attention. She has a great sense of humor with occasional comments to balance her presentation

So much more than "seeing" a sculpture - Many people will visit the Accademia museum to see the David, but Irina's tour is so much more than just "seeing" the famous sculpture. As an art historian, Irina can, and does, provide both artistic and historical perspective. Her tour is an in-depth exploration of the sculpture, the times in which it was created, the artist, and the other sculptures in the room. You may think that you don't need a guide to see the David, but Irina's tour will show you that you do. Irina is very personable, and her presentation is crystal clear.
