Traveler reviews
Highlights of Florence with the statue of David as the show stopper
Brenda did an amazing job showing us the highlights of Florence! She showed us all around the city and took us to see the famous David statue. Brenda was so kind and kept us in the shade as much as possible on this hot July day. She was an absolute pleasure to spend time with! I highly recommend this tour with Brenda!
Manuela is wonderful
Manuela was absolutely wonderful. She was able to give us history of the town and sites with clarity. She is a jewel. 100% recommend Manuela!
Florence walking tour
Iurica was fantastic. She was very informative and we learned so much. I am walking away with a greater appreciation of art, the David and Michangelo!
Definitely a VIP experience
Monica was so knowledgeable and she led us very quickly into the Accademia and there were only 4 people in front of us to see David. We were not rushed. What an amazing sight. Viewing Florence from the terraces was a spectacular view. The 150 steps were doable for us and we were among the first into the duomo before skip the lines and she walked us straight up the center aisle. Recommend this tour and Monica highly.!
Great intro
Aldo was a great guide, very passionate about teaching us in a short time about the David masterpiece and other areas of the gallery.
