Short but memorable visit to the Accademia - We had a great guide called Elaria. She recognised that we cannot see everything in a short visit. She concentrated on specific items and tied everything together very well. We covered early renaissance paintings, musical aspects of the renaissance and finished off with the 5 prisoners and the David.

Great tour, small group. - We were really happy when we got to the meeting point and realized that our group was a party of four! That was amazing, cause we got to interact with our guide the whole time, ask questions, etc. Greta was our guide and she was absolutely great. She has a lot of knowledge, is super friendly and speaks very good English. Would love to have other tours with her.
