Skip-the-Line David Guided Tour

Horrible experience and shocked this tour was highly recommended through the Viator app since it is 100% a scam. First off, the ticket is not included which is NOT clear when purchasing and only mentions it on the bottom of the description, listed NO WHERE on the ticket itself or emails received which is clearly meant to make you think you are getting the best deal to see David… secondly, the staff was incredibly rude. Not only were we the only ones duped on having to pay for the David ticket separately but the check in team was borderline mean if you questioned about the ticket scam. They literally taunted a family of 5 about missing out on the experience if they didn’t fork out the cash immediately…. And finally after paying more for the guide vs the ticket itself….. the tour was only 45 min, not even the full hour AND the damn headsets didn’t even work. Save your money or go on a tour with a more respectable company like ‘Tours of Italy’ who did a skip the line tour with full transparency and kindness you expect when exploring Florence.

Seeing David was impressive. Wonderful artwork throughout the tour. A lot to see in a tour - glad we stayed after the tour to see more art.

This tour was very informative and provided the history and perspective of Michelangelo’s masterpiece. Definitely worth getting a guide through Elvis! (And the extra fee for the museum was clearly later out in multiple communications)

This is a concise tour and talk a about the David statue and some of the other sculptures in the museum. Arrive early - we arrived at 10:51 for our 11 am scheduled time, we were the last to arrive and the tour started immediately. The tour guide mentioned you can't bring large bottles of water but you also can't bring multiple small containers of liquids. Luckily the museum is used to this issue and pointed me across the street to luggage storage and the tour guide kindly waited for me. I would recommend the tour to others, it was a great way to get an appreciation for how the sculptor worked and the different dimensions of his pieces and his life. Audio amplifier/ radio was used so we could very clearly hear our guide the entire time.

Our guide was fabulous. He spoke very clearly and made sure we were following along with him. He was very knowledgeable and I learned a ton. He also didn't waste time by being repetitive. The tour was short and sweet. Best tour guide I've had!
