Skipping the lines to see the original David? Priceless! - The statue of David! Our guide Antonio was very knowledgeable and maneuvered us past the lines and the crowds as promised in this booking. It was brilliant, and a very great experience with a great guide. His English was perfect as well.

Must see, bucket list tour! - This was an incredible experience! Our tour guide, Antonio, was excellent and very knowledgeable. Seeing the statue of David was more emotional than I expected it to be, and I’m so glad we booked this tour. One thing to note - Viator was able to get us in for a tour at the last minute when all tours through the Gallery website were sold out. Awesome!

Wonderful tour of Academia Gallery - Eduardo was the best tour guide we’ve ever had. His knowledge of art history and of the David was so interesting and he passed his knowledge on to us in beautiful English and with humor! He included several paintings and other sculptures in the tour.

Interesting guide and good knowledge of “David” - Rosie the Guide was very ebullient and personable and we enjoyed her tour. We learnt a lot about David that was very interesting. Please note, however, that the guided tour mainly concentrated on David with very little on the rest of the Gallery, but you can stay on there on your own afterwards.

Skip the line. Now that is amusing as you join the line for all the tour with all the other tour guides. Go early. - Great tour and wonderful guide. Skip the line !! That’s a joke. Booked 11.arrived in good time at 10.30. We were given our communication device and we were then asked to join the queque. We waited for 35 minutes to get in.

Bad experience secondary to tour guide not projecting her voice - Our tour guide seemed like a very nice person but she spoke so quietly that we all struggled to hear her. We asked her to hold the microphone so we could hear her better and she did it for 5 minutes and then stopped because she used her hands while talking.

Horrible - None! They were running an hour behind. So, we couldn't take the tour. We would have missed our ride to where we are staying with our tour!!! They yelled at us when we asked.
