      Great Tour guide!
      Joby_J, May 2024
      It was a rainy miserable day but Paola kept us entertained, informed and moving. You really couldn’t have asked for more.
      Inadequate experience for the fee
      Michael_W, Apr 2024
      Difficult to find guide at “supposed” meeting point. Handed off to separate service for Colosseum tour . Told to wait at wrong meeting point by this secondary service and missed English speaking tour. Then given audio tour which was poor and NOT what we paid for. The rest of the tour beyond the Colosseum was satisfactory but we really had booked the venue for the Colosseum tour and therefore we were disappointed.
      Bad organisation
      Stefan_C, Aug 2023
      After colloseum tour we went with the tour operator at the forum. He left us to wait in the front of the gate around 30mins because he went back to pick up another people. Bad organisation.
      Not sure guided tour was worth the extra cost?

      The statute is incredible. The tour guide spent far too much time detailing Michelangelo's life growing up, etc. We waited 30 minutes inside the museum before seeing the statute, listening to her discuss Michelangelo. It easily could have been cut in half. Or, you can buy a ticket and pay 2 Euros inside to listen to headphones. Tickets are $17 on your own; the tour was $51. The only advantage I could see was possibly "skipping the line" in front of some people. But, we still had to wait 20 minutes outside. Perhaps the others waited far longer?
      David by Michaelangelo
      Lucy_M, Jun 2023
      Skipping the line was a great time saver and the tour was very interesting. The statue of David was amazing. The tour guide was ok but we researched things afterwards and found some of what he said wasn’t entirely accurate, but a good tour nonetheless.
      Friendly Guide
      Nathana_C, Jun 2023
      Friendly guide who gave interesting backstories to the art. It was an asset to have a guide getting in and seeing some of the main art.
      Great Guided tour with Skip the Line included.
      Hiram_T, Jun 2023
      Guide was excellent and easy to understand, She really went out of her way to cover the entire gallery and answer any questions we had. Also got to skip the line so no wait.
      Very poor radio and...
      Amol_K, Jun 2023
      Very poor radio and headset - could not hear the tour guide for most of the time. No good marking on where to collect tickets. Tour guide was not very interested.
      Lovely tour guide and tour pace

      Best use of your time in Florence
      AMY_O, May 2023
      Highly recommend this tour and totally worth the money to not wait in line and make the most of your time in Florence. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us very interesting details about David and some other works of art in the museum. This was our 3rd time at the museum and the guide pointed out details in some works of art which were new to us and fascinating.
      Well Worth the Visit!
      Julia_M, Apr 2023
      Although the statue of David was the main attraction, we really enjoyed many of the paintings and other artwork in the other rooms, especially on the second floor.
      Beautiful and so much great information!
      Natalie_M, Oct 2022
      Olga was our guide and she was fantastic! We have been so lucky to have the best guides on all of our skip the line tours. Beautiful and informative… she was a wealth of information and clearly loves being a guide. Highly recommend this! Thank you!!
      Uneven tour expressing our guides personal opinions
      michael_w, Oct 2022
      We came to the tour with high expectations of seeing David and other great pieces of art, while our guide was very knowledgeable he chose to focus on what David was not. He pointed out the flaws in the stone, and the statute itself rather than the brilliance of Michelangelo in creating something that by any standards is considered a masterpiece. He was very enthusiastic about the music room and the significance of certain instruments.

      Raquel_R, Jun 2023
      El guía no estaba en el punto de encuentro. No he podido canjear el cupón y no he podido hacer la visita. Estoy muy decepcionada y me siento engañada, el perdido el dinero de mis entradas. Me siento estafada
      Tolle Führung, großartiges Museum
      Martina_S, Feb 2023
      Unsere Führerin Victoria war hervorragend . Sie ist begeistert von der Kunst, und der Funke ist übergesprungen.
