DAVID DI MICHELANGELO ACADEMY - This beautiful tour allowed me to see the ORIGINAL STATUE OF DAVID OF MICHELANGELO. it was the first time and, thanks to the information provided by the guide, I was really happy. I make a big thanks to Ciao Florence for selecting really very competent staff!!

Essential - Our guide Carmen did great, with clear explanations, complete and full of interesting facts.  He showed a very deep knowledge, which made the visit of great interest. Tour essential. Excellent experience

Accommodating for someone with hearing loss - We arrived early as I have hearing loss (cochlear implant and hearing aid) and I was concerned I might not be able to fully participate. Ciao Florence was so accommodating, caring and knowledgeable. They tested and made sure their equipment worked with my hearing devices, and Ana, our tour guide, made sure I was near her so I could read lips for further comprehension. She must have been an art history major because she gave us so much interesting info on the role of artists in the Middles Ages vs. the Renaissance. Highly recommend.

Fantastic tour & a very knowledgeable tour guide! - My husband and I purchased last-minute tickets to the Accademia Gallery barely a week in advance. We rarely do guided tours for museums and prefer to go at our own pace, but this option was the last available ticket at the time, so we booked it. I'm so sorry for not remembering our tour guide's name, but she was wonderful! She kept us engaged the whole time and was very knowledgeable about the exhibit. She also set a good pace and spent a fair amount of time on each work of art before moving on, there wasn't a single dull moment. The gallery was smaller than we expected, but the guided tour made it feel much more fulfilling. Our guide was also very kind and helped us when we asked about the city of Florence in general; we had another place we wanted to visit based on a photograph but couldn't figure out where it was. She told us the exact spot and we had a lovely time exploring the city after the tour thanks to her directions! After the tour we were allowed to explore the gallery at our own pace and I spent a few minutes sketching David. Overall 10/10 experience and I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Accademia Gallery for the first time! Thank you Ciao Florence!

Excellent experience with the David - Excellent experience with my partner, the guide was perfectly fluent in Spanish and gave us interesting data that we did not know

Fantastic - The guide explanation was entertaining and enjoyable, we learned aspects of Michelangelo's personality and about the different works of this artist so in love with his work.

Review - Great experience! Our tour guide was very informative and very friendly! 10/10 experience. We had a great time and would highly recommend!

Good way to see the museum - Sabrina, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative about the museum and art work. We enjoyed the tour.

Ripped off! - Not worth the money we paid. Very disappointed in our tour guide. He was arrogant and misinformed on his history of Michael Angelo as an artist. He asked questions to the group and when someone provided their feedback, he made them feel inadequate. In addition, he only spoke about one statue and overlooked the rest of the art that was displayed. We were left to explore on our own. The tour was short and would not recommend this to anyone. If you are seeking for the true history of Michael Angelo, I highly recommend the Vatican tour in Rome. Excellent tour with explicit history.

Don't trust Viator - 1. Don't believe 'Skip the Line' means anything - you could be lining up for a long time 2. When they screw up they won't return your money - even though the tickets were printed with the wrong time, they wouldn't admit to a mistake
