Knowing virtually nothing about Florence and the Renaissance, this tour was very informative and interesting. Finishing in the Accademia was great, as you could then tour the museum at your own pace.

Guide was knowledgeable. Would prefer the tour go in reverse and start with Michelangelo's David.

The guide was knowledgeable and we learned many things that we probably would not have been aware of without her guidance. The quick entry into the Accademia Gallery was a real plus.

Tour guide was very knowledgeable and I enjoyed her insights; however, the pace was too fast for many on the tour. I found myself running to keep up. I felt I was on a running rather than a walking tour.

The walking tour and the David tour were fabulous; however, I was very disappointed with the tour operator that Viator booked our Uffizi tour with. That agency called to reschedule the time, and I was totally confused and spent quite a bit of time calling them and trying to sort out why I was not with Viator. Even more perplexing was the fact that the guide was not permitted to use headsets, so only the four or five people directly in front of her could hear. The rest of us left the group and went through on our on. Thirty minutes prior to the tour was a tour with a guide who used headsets so everyone could hear. I felt cheated and disappointed. I will not book with Viator again even though the other tours with Viator were very good.

This tour offers a great balance of art and architecture. The guide was extremely professional and gives you a snapshot of Florence that will get you started.

Good informative tour with a good explanation about the history of all the statues and sculptures in these museums.

What a day! We arrived in Florence early and our guide was already there, so we checked in early, which made us feel very comfortable. The guide was a native Tuscan, so she was able to speak with authority, and wow did she know her stuff! She was obviously an art lover, but she also knew lots about architecture and Italian history. We all learned so much from her. The walking tour took us into parts of Florence that we did not know existed, and there was more than plenty of time to see the sights that were pointed out. We ended up seeing much more than we could have done ourselves, and small buildings or artwork that we would normally have walked past were explained in great detail. This tour is just wonderful for people who are new to Florence and need a place to start in one of the world's most wonderful cities. Highly recommended.

The tour guide was informative and pleasant. She discussed more than just the beauties of the city.

A great way to appreciate Florence architecture and to see the Michelangelo's David. Guide spoke English well. Only negative was that audio headsets were difficult to hear through.

Tour guide was excellent. Disappointed because Accademia was closed due to a strike but tour guide included another museum as a substitute. Guide used headsets which makes a big difference with a large group.

The tour was exactly as described. We had a fantastic tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and professional, and very easy to understand. The headsets were great, too!
