Worthwhile - Great experience at the museum. Though we had a late start, Claudio was very knowledgeable about the arts and told the stories behind Michelangelo’s masterpieces. Highly recommend taking this tour while in Florence!

Beautiful - That was great. We took a guide via viator. We booked the day before and were contacted the day before with the appointment point given by Elvis who is a provider. You give your card number for the reservation but you are not charged. You pay in cash when you get there. Everything went very well. Ricardo was very clear in his explanations.

Great tour experience. - I really enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide (forget her name). Was very knowledgeable and I learned so much from her. Easy access into the museum and had time after to walk around in our own.

Awe-Inspiring Experience – A Must-See in Florence! - The David statue tour was nothing short of breathtaking. Standing in front of Michelangelo’s masterpiece, you truly understand why it’s considered one of the greatest works of art in history. Our guide brought the sculpture to life with fascinating stories about Michelangelo’s process, the history of the marble, and the cultural significance of David. The attention to detail—from the tension in his muscles to the lifelike expression—was mesmerizing. The lighting in the gallery perfectly highlighted every curve and feature, making you feel as though David might step right off the pedestal. I left with a deeper appreciation not just for the art, but for the incredible talent and dedication it represents. If you’re in Florence, don’t miss this tour—it’s an unforgettable encounter with history, artistry, and human genius.

Hidden Charges. Read carefully. - Please make sure you understand that this price does not include the admission to the museum. It’s misleading. We just wanted an easy way to see David. So we had to pay an additional 20 euro at the door in cash, no receipt, on top of the first 20 euro. Pathetic.

Skip the line guided Tour of Michaelangelo’s David - The description of the tour is as per the title. The tour was run by two different parties both of which were not identified on the initial booking (names withheld but available if necessary) The “meet and greet” for the tour is haphazard and poorly organised You will then be informed that there is additional costs above what you have already paid for on TripAdvisor - namely that the ticket you have bought does not actually allow you to enter the building and you have to pay a supernumerary charge for museum entrance . The guide is capable but clearly numbed by the raw experience of so many tourists The actual David and other Michelangelo partly completely sculptures are of course magnificent and the reason for being there As such my advice is to book your normal tickets well in advance and only use a skip the line method if you are very late in organising your visit such that there are no available tickets on that particular day. Note also that this museum is completely free on the first Sunday of every month. My final comments at having done a guided tour of Pompeii , the Vatican and the Colosseum, the above is markedly inferior and terrible value for money (unless truly desperate).
