This tour was led by David who was an excellent guide, knowledgeable in the arts, the history, and appreciation of the treasures in Florence. We learned a lot, much more than going it alone.
This is a fantastic way to get to know Florence! Daniel, our guide was very knowledgeable and pointed out things we would have missed had we gone on our own. Book an early tour so you have time to explore on your own at Uffizi Gallery.
Absolutely amazing experience!! Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and made the day such a pleasure. We learned so much!!!!
We had a great experience on this tour! Our guide was excellent—knowledgeable and engaging—and did a great job getting us through the city center, Accademia, and Uffizi. We happened to visit on a day that was unbelievably crowded, but our guide navigated the crowds well and made sure we still saw all of the must-see artwork and statues. Definitely recommend!
I found this tour to be extremely disappointing for the amount of money spent. We spent so much time in the Acadamia even though the gallery had so much more art. Out tour guide used RayBan AI glasses the entire time. Skip the line was the best part about this tour
Our tour of the galleries and city center was very solid, not exceptional. Perhaps due in part to the sheer amount of amazing art works and architecture, the information provided was sometimes overwhelming and excessive - too much coming at us. Our guide Deborah was very knowledgeable, passionate, and pleasant, but perhaps due to the tour's structure, the information delivery became a little much and tiring. Overall, the tour was definitely worth our time, but maybe it was the wrong experience for us.
Daniel was soooo accommodating and knowledgeable. No problem understanding him as he spoke English as a native. One of the best tours I took through Viator
This was a fabulous way to see the best of the Academia, especially Michelangelo’s David and also the Ufizzi as well as to see and learn about the main historical buildings in the center of Florence Debra was so knowledgeable about Florence and about each and every one of the artworks we saw . She made everything interesting and enjoyable and she was so thoughtful of us
Knowledgeable guide, very good educational information. Respond to questions well. Giovani is an excellent guide
Daniel was such a wonderful, friendly and informative tour guide during this awe inspiring tour. If you are visiting Florence and want to see the most pivotal art pieces with an expert guide I’d highly recommend this tour!
Daniel gave us an outstanding tour! Extremely knowledgeable & presented information in an interesting way.
This was a great experience, loads of walking! But very enjoyable. Deborah was a fantastic and knowledgable guide.
Very immersive into the history of each stop. We had a rainy day and we enjoyed it so much. Daniel was an excellent guide and was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Florence and the sights included and also not included in the tour. Would highly recommend Daniel and this tour. Thank you Daniel for a wonderful experience.
The guide was amazing. Very knowledgeable about everything we saw. Her name was jole or something very similar to that.
Our tour guide Debara is really knowledgeable and sharing, she was able to answer each and every question that my family asked and very supportive with the break time as necessary. We are extremely satisfied and recommend this tour to everyone, especially for first visitor like us. Thanks again Debara and Daniel for coordinating!
Amazing! So much history behind everything you see in Florence. It's mind blowing! Daniel was the most amazing guide we've had!
It was a great experience! Daniel was extremely knowledgeable and attentive! Thank you so much! Highly recommend!
Daniel did a great job explaining the interpretation and history of the artwork. He made it very interesting.
The city is beautiful with rich art works, but tour guy is slow, even she is so kind and nice. So the whole this tour is average.
Guide was very knowledgeable and made it interesting. We had three separate tots in a row. Although enjoyable I wish I would have split them up in differently days. My brain was on overload by the end.
Daniel was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide who gave us great insight on renaissance art and artists. The Statue of David was a definite highlight and the amount of time spent in each museum was perfect. Great tour!!
Great tour with Daniel. I really enjoyed learning about the city and the art history that makes it so famous. Truly fascinating commentary that has inspired me to learn more about sculpture and painting.
Outstanding very knowledgeable guide who gave us interesting information about the famous artists and paintings in the Accademia and office. Highly recommended.
Lots of information! Guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared the information in an easy to absorb manner. Gave us tips on what else to see too.
Andrea was our tour guide and did a fantastic job of explaining the history, the artist, and their works. Andrea lectured to us the history of the museum and how they evolved into being today. If you are lucky enough to have her as your tour guide it will enhance your experience there tremendously.
Giovanni was an excellent guide, extremely entertaining and knowledgeable ! The Museums were amazing.
My guide Daniel was wonderful and went above and beyond after my tour to get me a taxi back to my hotel. He was engaging and knowledgeable and made history and the art come alive for me. I would recommend this tour and Daniel to anyone who loves art and history and was visiting Florence.
A good way to see both galleries in one trip, but be prepared to walk on hard surfaces all day. We are in pretty good shape, but the toll it took on our backs was a little too much.
We had a wonderful day with Giovanni! We had a two year old and 4 year old with us, and Giovanni was so kind and accommodating. We enjoyed the small group and learned a lot! Highly recommend!
Tour guide is very nice and answers all questions very well. Great tour itinerary and even better museum experience.
Daniel was an amazing guide. We learned so much from his knowledge in art and history. He made our visit perfect.
Guide was excellent. Communicated enthusiasm for the artworks as well as knowledge. He kindly helped me get a taxi at the end of the tour.
Elisa & Daniel led the tour of the Accademia Gallery and Uffizi Gallery. Elisa's experience in leading tours and personal family historical perspective together with her personable attention was so educational beyond our expectations. Thanks to Elisa, we had a most fullfiling visit to Florence. Highly recommend this tour especially if you are fortunate enough to get Eilsa to giude your way.
Must do with a guided tour. Fascinating story. Very knowledgeable and friendly guide.
