Amazing.Art History Tour - My husband and I took the tour and loved it. Our guide, Ivano, was extremely knowledgeable and gave us the history of the city, the Medici family, the artists whose work we saw, as well as the paintings. I would describe this tour as in depth. As I studied art history many years ago, including the Renaissance, it was the perfect tour for me. Having said that, you don’t need any art background, but an interest in history and an appreciation for fine works of art! We also got very lucky and we ended up with a private tour, since there were just the two of us. This is definitely a tour for older teens and adults, as it is a long tour. However, I felt that it was the perfect length. It was great going early before the crowds (9 AM start) and we had little or no wait with our fast passes. I forgot to bring water with me, which was in the suggested instructions, so I would suggest taking your own in. We did get the opportunity for a short break for the bathroom and a drink but you want to maximize your tour so I wouldn’t waste time on lining up for a drink, as service can be slow. Another bonus was that we were also able to take lots of pictures during the tour. I would definitely recommend this tour. It was a highlight of our trip!

Incredible and very educational tour with great guide - Tour guide Maria Christina Lavecchia was the best. She knew everything about the history of the art and answered all of our questions thoroughly. And she spoke perfect English. We didn’t wait at all, bypassed the lines at both sites and walked right in. We also learned much about Florence on the walking tour between the museums. Best tour we had in all of Italy.

Florence museum/David tour - Our tour guide was excellent….I can’t remember his name unfortunately. Incredibly knowledgeable and his enthusiasm for the subject matter was very evident. He basically provided an art history lesson which I needed/appreciated, without being too dry. I had very little idea about the statue David and learned a lot. Great experience!

Fantastic experience in one of the world’s best art museums! - Highly recommend the small group tour as the museum is very crowded and being in a small group allows for you to be a little bit more nimble and get closer to the paintings while also receiving very detailed information about them. Our guide, Gianna, was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much information with us. Loved the combination of Ufizzi and Accademia with a walking tour past Il Duomo. Beautiful day of art!

Great way to see highlights of two museums - Excellent way to see the highlights of the Academia and Uffizi Museums in a relatively compact time period, with a guide (Mirella) who makes the experience so much more educational by lending their expertise to the event.

Too much waiting! - We enjoyed visiting each of the museums and seeing the signature works of art. The problem came in with the transaction time in waiting to get into the museums and waiting for other guests to join the 2d half of the tour as well the inadequacy of the walking tour - not much to it. And, finally, the guide was difficult to understand. If we had to do it over again, we would book small group tours *separately* to each museum.
