Well- organised, informative, Clara made a good selection of paintings to speak about, for us non- historians. She gave us a very good picture of life during the Medici era.
Mary was our English speaking guide for the day and she was fantastic. Very knowledgeable about the paintings, sculptures and to our delight, the musical instruments. We were excited to see an original Stradavarius violin and learn about its origins and commission.
We booked this tour very last minute (about 30 mins prior to the start time). Communication with the provider was excellent and the ability to skip the loooooong line in a middle of a heatwave was such a blessing.
I 100% recommend this tour. Thank you Mary for sharing your knowledge and making the tour something to remember.
This guided tour was one of the best we have experienced. Our guide was very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. His name was Claudio and he brought the Statue of David alive. He was very pleasant and was eager to answer our questions.
The guide was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. I have learned a lot about the history through the paintings . As the gallery has got a lots of paintings I would recommend to spend more time in the gallery as the guided tour last only 1.5 hours
It was great not to have to wait in line to get in. Our guide, Elisa, was very helpful and gave us lots of details about Michelangelo and his works on display, as well as other paintings and areas of the museum.
The fellows doing check in were good and organised, and very professionally helped people who weren't booked in on our tour to find their group. We skipped the line in easily. Galya was knowledgeable and fun. She told us so many interesting facts and stories, and took lots of photos of us in front of David, and was very patient with our questions. I left my sun hat at security on the way in but didn't notice till near the end of the tour. Galya happily came with me and spoke to a guard and my hat and I were reunited. One of our group wandered off before giving back her radio thingy. Galya chased her down and retrieved it nicely. I highly recommend her and this tour.
