Coming on this tour in November we were able to get in quickly without a wait as well as see the David up close. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and really great at talking about the sculptures by Michelangelo.

Jennifer_D

Great tour - very informative. Guide gave the background of the making of David. Really enhanced the visit.

Kyle_D

We were so fortunate to have our tour guide which ended up being a private tour. Perhaps this was because we went during the not busy season. Our guide was very informative. We prefer the guide tour compared to a audio guide headset that you can purchase at the galleria because of the wealth of knowlede the guide can share. Seeing The David in person is not something I can describe. The masterpiece is impressive by itself but the story of how it was created makes it even more beautiful. We enjoyed the length of the tour and had the option to remain in the galleria to view more on our own.
