The guide was knowledge and it was very interesting! My kids (13, 11, 7) and I all had a great time and learned a lot! Hardly any wait in line to get in, and didn't feel rushed in the exhibit at all. Spent a lot of time at the David and from multiple angles. Loved it! It was my first experience with a guided tour and I so glad we did it! BUT I am disappointed with the back end of things - when booking the tour it said to meet far away from the accademia and instead to meet near the uffitzi - thst didn't make sense to me, so I chatted online with someone and they confirmed the location and that we'd walk with our guide over. The day before the tour I got an email confirming that same location. When we arrived I was told we were at the wrong location and needed to hurry over to the meeting spot by the accademia. We then needed to RUN through the city to get there on time so we wouldn't miss the tour. We arrived sweaty and frazzled. The tour guide was fantastic, but the communication leading up to the tour was not good.

Our guide was fantastic. The context and color she added to our tour was incredibly helpful for our entire Italy trip. It layed a great informational foundation and understanding of some of the Renaissance greats.

Our guide Lori was absolutely amazing during this tour. She was enthusiastic and engaging. Her knowledge, detailed but not overwhelming. It was great to listen along to a story that provided context not only to the artwork/pieces on display, but also Michaelangelo personally and the kind of person he was, as well as a quick revision of Florence's history and other families/artists like the Medicis in an interesting way with fun facts. A well executed tour, timed well through the rooms and with plenty of time to analyse Michaelangelo's David up close and in detail. Highly recommended.
