Beautiful Tour and Experience - WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!!! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and so passionate on this tour. She taught us how to look at things in a different perspective than we never would have thought to do. This tour went by really fast, and allowed us to see the beautiful art, sculptures and treasures that Florence has to offer.

Michelangelo and David - We're going to see Michelangelo's David, but the Museum offers you beautiful surprises, including a whole room dedicated to the works of a sculptor, Bartolini, it is of incredible finesse, go!.

Put this at the top of the list - you must do it! - My sister-in-law and I traveled to Italy for work and added in several days for fun. We met with Leonardo and had an expert guide across the beautiful city, starting on a brisk and gorgeous Saturday morning in Piazza de Santa Croce. Leo was a true historian of art and Florence, and he helped us both connect many dots of the history of civilizations, Italian language and art, and their connections with the life and cultures of today's modern world. It was a breathtaking tour, private, personalized, and a highlight for both of us who are international travelers. We have had many great tour guides, but we agree - Leonardo was the best at making things make sense. Thank you for educating us while also making this experience so special and perfect!

Bellissimo - Without a ticket, queued for 15 minutes. No regrets. Ticket for 16 euros. Magnificent museum, with paintings by the greatest painters of the Renaissance. Impressive beauty sculptures. One of the most beautiful Renaissance museums, and the David is grand.

Great introduction to Florence - Alfonso was a friendly and knowledgeable guide. Our family of five (parents and young adult children) all found that he gave us just the right amount of information during our tour of the Accademia Gallery as well as the Duomo (from the outside) and other important statues/landmarks within walking distance. Five stars!

Company changed event so hard to rate - The event was changed to a later time and only the academia by the company so what I booked I cannot really rate. Being at a later time there were more people. We did not have to wait for which I am grateful. The guide was good and informative. I learned some from what she was saying and the group size was manageable.

No good - Viator canceled the tour at the last minute. No explanation given on the live chat. Ella tried to find out what happened. Technical difficulties was her answer.
