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!

The tour was a great overview of Florence. Our guide has lived in Florence her whole life and is clearly proud of her city. This tour gets you to the main points of interest in the city and adds a lot of background that makes everything more enjoyable.
