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.

A Worthwhile Investment - A Private Tour Is HIGHLY Recommended - Our guide Irina was good. The tour with Irina’s guidance was long enough to appreciate a small part of Michelangelo’s genius.

Dream come true! - Irina was so knowledgeable and passionate about sharing what she knew about The David and the other artwork at the Gallery! It was always a dream for me to see the David, and she made the experience so much more than just getting to see the David, and Michelangelo’s other works! I learned so much more than I would have ever expected! Thank you, Irina!

Love David!!! - When in Florence my husband and I just had to see David. We did a private tour with Olga. She was easy to find and she had our tickets in hand and navigated us through the crowds to get us in to see David. Seeing David literally took our breath away. He is so amazing to see in person. You just can’t believe the size and detail and beauty of this art piece. I am so glad Olga had her iPad to point out details about David that were hard to see with your naked eye. Also, Olga had lots of fascinating facts about David and brought it all to life. You can tell she loves her job and David. Great one hour tour. If you like, you can stay after the tour is over to see other things in the museum. Or if you’re like me, you can just stay longer and gaze at David. Wow! Grazie Olga.
