My wife and I had great experience. Both of our guides were very knowledgeable. Our guide for the Ufizzi Galleries, Antonella, was an absolute delight!

Amazing knowledge of the art was shared in a story telling style. So interesting to have specific parts of the paintings explained as well as the history of the artist.

4Ideal tour of city's sculptures.
Read description carefully. I thought this included the Uffizi Galleries. It did not. That said, it was a very informative tour of the City's sculptures including the David.
4Fun time
Fun time. Loved the time we spent on the plaza overlooking the city. Our guide was great-he took lots of pictures for us. Price was a little high for what the activity included.

A few streets away, Piazza della Signoria and the Palazzo Vecchio face a loggia full of sculpture, and the Uffizi Gallery holds Botticelli, Leonardo and Raphael. Michelangelo's David stands in the Galleria dell'Accademia.
