We booked this for our stop in Florence the first week of September. Once we arrived at the Accademia, it was fairly easy to find our tour operator. Even though there was a very large number of people, one of the gentlemen at the group entrance pointed out who we needed to talk to. Once inside, our guide (Patricia) led us around and gave us very detailed and informative history regarding the sculptures in the museum. Her knowledge of The David was excellent. Time spent in the Accademia was sufficient for the size of the museum. Plenty of time during the lunch break for us to wander Florence on the way to Uffizi, have lunch, visit the Ponte Vecchio, and not feel rushed. Once at Uffizi, it was very easy to find our meeting location, tour operator, and our guide for this portion of the tour. He was extremely knowledgeable, very passionate, and very obviously cared about the art and history of the city. He made it a very fun and enjoyable tour while seeing some of the more important pieces on display. Would definitely recommend this tour if you're only spending a day in Florence and would like to see some of the fantastic pieces on display.
Our first tour in the morning was at the Academia...guide was great, very informative and knowledgeable! However the second tour to the Uffizi was terrible. Although we were supposed to skip the line we waited for over an hour to gain access. The guide spent far far too much time in the Renaissance wing ( over an hour) repeating the same information over and over again. Truly upsetting. First time I have been disappointed in Viator
This is an amazing tour . It is very convenient to be able to skip the queues and also have a tour led by such knowledgeable guides. The only downside it that no headphones were provided during the David tour and this detracted a little from the experience. It was most probably an exception though for our tour.
The David is an amazing sight! And the Bottecelli's are a sight for sore eyes!
