Il Duomo and David - a great experience - Ismael was an excellent guide and left us with a huge appreciation of the details of the art and architecture seen on the tour. The experience as a whole was awesome! We were very impressed with how much he knew and how he structured the information - building a little more as we changed perspective and saw more of the structures - making a very intriguing ”story”. The size of the group was good.

Incredible Experience - A breathtaking tour. Our tour guide (can’t remember her name, but she was Aussie, enthusiastic, and a huge Michelangelo fanatic) was incredibly knowledgeable about every part of the city, and its history. So grateful that I was apart of this tour!

Meeting David and his friends. - Eloquent and enthusiastic, Sara gave us a wonderful tour, full of historical facts and events, pointing out the important details about the works and places we saw and we got a greater appreciation for the David in particular and Michelangelo’s other works in general. We’re seniors and for us the tour had a good pace, so we covered a lot without rushing or feeling overwhelmed. I recommend this tour for anyone.

Simply espectacular! - Valentina was our tour guide. I was impressed of the knowledge she has in history and art and the passion she gives when explaining everything to us. She was excellent ! Her sense of humor made our tour so pleasant! I would only say it would be better if she carry the stock with a flag or something to know where she was at all time. Some people in the group was slow walkers and I was afraid they were gonna get lost walking between so many people around and not see her or the rest of the group. But overall I totally recommend Valentina and the tour!

Highly recommend - We had an excellent tour with Aniko, who was informative, organized, efficient and funny! Skip-the-line access to the David and Duomo save significant time. Great tour to see these Florence essentials, especially for those with limited time in the city.
