Our tour was very pleasant and we were lucky enough to be a small group and enjoy the info and the beautiful paintings. Our guide, Elisa, was highly knowledgeable with a friendly attitude and easy going personality throughout the 1 hour long tour. She showed us the beautiful golden paitings, the statues and told us the stories behind, that brought us into the 15th century. Elisa was so documented that i still remember some details of Michelangelo's life that she shared with us. I'd recommend visiting the museum at the end of March when the season hasn't yet started and you can enjoy the tour at a nice pace.

It wasn't special because I was disappointed. THE SEATS ARE NOT PREMIUM. There is no audio guide. The service is poor. And they made us wait for over an hour. Rating: 1 out of 10.

Guide was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. Despite the crowds, she was able to keep the group together and communciate the importance of the different exhibits. Must see in Florence. David is indescribable. WARNING: Prior to going inside the Academia, BE SURE TO ORGANIZE PERSONAL ITEMS IN A SINGLE BAG. Between handling the ticket (which you MUST keep with you and show multiple times), phone, passport, wallet, ..... and the tour's radio headset, I managed to lose my ticket navigating the security/metal detector section. Here. you will be scanned, your bag will have to get through x-ray ,achine and it comes at you quickly and all at once. With the crowd rushing to get inside, it is receipe for losing something important like I did. Organize it all before you enter the building. Its just like getting on a commercial flight.
