We thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to see the David up close and learn about Michelangelo's process, history. The Uffizi was also a highlight of our travels in Italy, with an amazing assortment of artworks. Our guide Ishmael did a great job of creating context and relationships between the art and what was happening in Italy at the time. He also gave us as many chances to sit and relax during the tour as possible, but be prepared for lots of walking!

This was a very nice walk around the main part of Florence with and excellent tour of both the Ufuzzi and Academy (David) galleries. Our tour guide did an excellent job on an extremely crowded day in both galleries.

Everything worked out smoothly and I’m glad I went! Check in at San Marco plaza was easy and then we headed out. It was unexpected, but very helpful that everyone got a headphone to hear the tour guide clearly. It was much better than trying to hear her voice when many places were soooo busy!
Brenda was fantastic and made navigating the locations a breeze so I could just enjoy the experience. The group had ample time to see David and other highlights, and since you have a headset, you can roam a bit to look at other art (e.g., in Ufizzi).
As a few people mentioned in their reviews, you have about an hour for lunch. Avoid the tourist traps (all the outdoor seating restaurants right in the plaza) and try to find a sandwich shop in one of the smaller streets!

Wonderful guide Elena!!! So knowledgeable and a true historian. I felt happily overwhelmed with the amount of information we were learning. I would have never gotten nearly as much out of the Uffizi without her.

The entire tour was incredible! Eria, our guide was extremely knowledgeable. The best part was the anticipation and build up to see Michaelangelo’s David! I would recommend this tour to everyone.
