Excellent small group tour of David and the Dome. If you are interested in a quick tour of the history, culture, and architecture of both these tourist sites in a small group environment, then this one can be highly recommended. Because it was fairly small, it was not obvious how to meet up - but fortunately, finding them at the meet up location (basically the entrance to the Academia Gallery where there are a lot of people walking around and in lines) was not bad - maybe the in future a sign would make it easier to find the group? Walked around the Duomo first describing the outdoor architecture, bell tower, history, and context of the Duomo. Then went into the Baptistery of St John with a great description of the key points. Walked over to the Academia and toured a short bit before visiting David. This concluded the end of the tour but each person has a set time to get into the line to climb the Duomo. You do that on your own. The ticket also allowed climbing the Bell Tower in the next 72 hours. Overall, a great no frills tour. Note, you are not allowed to use the ticket to re-enter the Academia so plan accordingly.
