Amazing

Brigitte_K, Mar 2024

Irina is a briliiant tour guide and I received so much knowledge and information about the Bargello und the art exhibited in this wonderful place. In my opinion this place is a must to visit and especially with Irina as she tells the story and facts about the Bargello in a very vivid and fascinating manner that have kept my whole attention for the 2 hours of the tour. The way how Irina passes on the history iand explains the art and artists really comes to life and evokes the feeling of wanting to know more about the great time of the Renaissance and Florence.

Background information...

Peggy_B, Nov 2022

Background information was invaluable. The guide adroitly fused together elements that influenced artists of the era with historic events and captured our interests.

Our best tour!

Anna was a wonderful guide. She first gave an overview of Florence history. Her tour through the Bargello was the best of our trip. She knows the collection so well and gave us interesting insights.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Dear Jane, Thank you so much for your words! Anna is a truly great guide and a wonderful storyteller! I am thrilled to know this tour was the best of your trip and you enjoyed both the collection and the insights that Anna gave you! I hope to see you on our other tours in Florence! - Irina

Great and easy tour

Stacy_H, Oct 2022

The Bargello is a smaller museum that has some very special statutes. Alda was great and was very informative about the history behind the pieces. I originally was hesitant on if we needed this tour in our itinerary but am very glad we did this one! It is one you could do on your own, however I would not have learned as much by ourselves.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Dear Stacy, Thank you so much for taking your time and writing this feedback. I am so glad you enjoyed Bargello tour with Alda. She is a great storyteller and knows so much about this museum that has thousands of masterpieces exposed. Alda can lead you through them choosing the most important ones and times flies in her company. I am happy you decided to do the tour and I hope to see you on our other tours and activities! If you plan to come to Florence do not hesitate to book a tour with me and I arrange Alda as your tour guide. - Irina

An important collection that is best experienced with a guide

Stephen_C, Jul 2022

A trip to the Bargello is integral to a visit to Florence. A guide is essential to contextualize the works and also helps to efficiently take you through to the central pieces within the museum. Our guide's infectious enthusiasm brought all the works to life, and she highlighted numerous details of each work that we would never have noticed on our own. It's also nice to have a guide who engages both an adult and a teenager and makes the art meaningful. Unless you have an advanced degree in renaissance and gothic art, you should get a guide and understand just what you're standing in front of. Bargello is one of the less busy museums (at least when we visited) so there is more time and space to linger and ponder.

Less is more

Kevin_M, Jul 2022

Guide was brilliant but had to cut tour short due to medical emergency linked to a friend of the guide. Yet this was outstanding with focus on the development of perspective.

Great tour!

Gary_S, Jun 2022

Great tour and information other Museum tours help complete. We would highly recommend this tour!! Wonderful. Thank you Alda!

Irina is a fabulous guide!

Angela_E, Jun 2022

I highly recommend this tour with Irina as your guide! We learned the history of everything in this extraordinary museum and we had a great time! You won’t regret booking this tour, Irina is the best!

The Donatello Exhibit in Florence—a “must see.”

Harriett_G, May 2022

Alda is an excellent tour guide. She is knowledgeable about history and art (she is an artist herself) and has great enthusiasm about Donatello’s sculptures, which were the focus of the tour. She also told us about the history of the Bargello, which was fascinating, and about the Medici dynasty. I highly recommend her as a tour guide.

Wonderful tour!

David_C, May 2022

Alda did very well. From the beginning, she gave a very good explanation of the background of Florence, especially the commercial development that shaped the city and region and made Florence special.

Response from Host, May 2022

Dear David, Thank you so much for your feedback! I am glad you enjoyed the tour at the Bargello museum! However, I am wondering why you rated the tour as a four star experience! Let me know if there is something that we can improve! All the best! Irina
