Natalia was an excellent guide through the Galleria Accademia!! The meeting spot was a bit of a zoo with the mass of people lining up to get into the gallery, but Natalia guided us into position and made sure we got in at the earliest possible time. The gallery and collection were amazing and we were really pleased with Natalia's knowledgeable discussions throughout the tour.

Meeting place was easy to find and staff seemed organized. Guide did a great job getting us in. The tour through the exhibits was thoughtful and provided excellent background information on a variety of topics, culminating (of course) with David. Tours like this are so time efficient on the front end (getting through the lines) and overall with the background information and context that the experts provide - well worth it!

Fabulous guide! I arrived right at 10 but it seemed I was considered tardy by staff. I didn't see where I should have done any earlier. I suggest arriving 15 minutes before your tour time.

The tour office was easy to find and they were very organized. As we waited in the line, Rosa explained that there are often delays. She was very knowledgeable, easy to understand and engaging.
