Tour was great with... - Tour was great with Filomena as our guide, she was full of knowledge and had a great personality. She took us through the background of both Michelangelo and Florence to set the scene and better understand the statue of David. She was very informative while keeping it easily digestible, fun and interesting at the same time. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing - This was the best guided tour I have had in my entire life and at the ripe old age of 72 that is saying something… Our tour guide Eduardo and he was unbelievable. The academy was spectacular and needless to say the tour guide beyond belief. He blended old our history with Renaissance with modern and his understanding of the works of Michelangelo was amazing.

Family-friendly guided tour in German - We had a wonderful guided tour of the Accademia. This was done in a pleasant looseness by Rossella in German. Thanks again for the entertaining and extraordinarily deep insight into Michaelangelo's works.

Good tour, late start - The tour was good but it started over 30 minutes late because they had to “find us a guide”. Seems like there are lots of tour options, could easily find a more reliable option.
