A mixed bag

Allie_G, Mar 2024

I want to be generous because it was a rainy morning so everything was a little chaotic, but there were some hiccups. The headsets really didn't work and the guide was not adept at keeping our semi-large group together and engaged. It felt like she didn't have a real flow to the tour. At a certain point I turned my headset in and just walked around by myself. That being said, having seen how busy it was in all of the lines having a guaranteed entrance with a group made this worthwhile.

Seeing David

David_W, Nov 2023

The tour guide, Olga, was very informative. It was easy to follow using the supplied earpieces. It’s always more beneficial to see with a guide - worth the spend. Thanks.

Amazing experience.

We had a wonderful time. Going to see David and the story was amazing. I would recommend it to everyone.

Let’s face it, we want to see David, not here an art history lecture!

William_H, Jul 2023

Let’s be honest! 99% of people don’t want a tour to see something, they want to skip the ridiculous lines. Amodeous was our “guide” and he was the best! The guide must be required and he knew what he was talking about so it was as entertaining as educational. While waiting in line for about 15 minutes he pointed out the elaborate network of cheats, thieves, and pickpockets. The guys selling their crappy posters on the street are part of the racket. These guys get you to show your money, then their two crook pals come in for the pick pocket. If they need backup they get the old lady moaning and groaning that is begging to distract you and the guys cautiously open you pockets or backpacks and steal your stuff. If it starts or is raining, open up the hatch in the ground as shown in the photo. In the hatches in the ground there are rain umbrellas and ponchos. The crooks stow them there. Now, tour wise, our funny but knowledgeable guide got us in through the slip the line pass and we proceeded inside. He spoke for about 20 minutes and then let us explore on our own. Unless you’re in great need for a dissertation I’d suggest this tour as most of us want to see the David, not have an art history class.

Got me access to the museum!

Malcolm_W, Jul 2023

Tour was good enough but I could have used without. The guide came off almost rude at times to some of the guests, the tour was very much his tour and he wasn’t very open to questions or comments. I booked the tour because I could not book tickets to the museum independently as they were sold out. Would recommend the tour if you’re looking to get in and tickets directly with the museum are sold out.

To be remembered

Michael_F, Apr 2023

Ancient instruments and David Guide was knowledgeable and passionate We appreciated small group- 6- and we entered quickly

Good way to see David quickly!

Christopher_M, Apr 2023

It was a great way to save hours upon hours to see the statue of David. The guide was knowledgeable, but the microphone, radio, and headset made hearing and understanding him impossible. By doing the tour this way we probably saved 4-5 hours.

Great experience!

Our guide Amadeus was excellent at bringing the art to life by explaining the history and artistic significance of each piece. I was glad that the focus was not solely on David, but rather on many other significant pieces that we saw.
