The tour was great, and Lori, our guide was extremely knowledgeable and had a wonderful presentation style. Such an interesting history and Akademia Gallery was superb. The David statue is magnificent and Lori made Michelangelo's story come to life. I was dissapointed that the walking part of the tour was canceled by email a few days before arrival, cutting the tour short by 3/4 hour. The tour gave context to the great work of art.

Lori (?) was very knowledgeable and organized. Skipping the line was great though the museum (Accademia) was overcrowded with tour groups.
