Irina’s passion for art made this a wonderful tour - We had no idea what we didn’t know until Irina filled us in on the David statue and Michelangelo. The experience was wonderful and her passion for art came through during her tour. She taught us so much about art history around the David statue and how to his statue came to be.

Awesome private tour with Irina! - Irina was fantastic. My wife and I went to the Academie together on a private tour with Irina. Irina made it magical for both of us. Skipping the line (thereby avoiding the rain and the wait) was just the first bonus of this tour. Irina was exceptionally informative and friendly, and while she had a presentation set, she readily engaged in conversation and answered our questions. Both of us felt like we had a completely new appreciation for the brilliance of Michelangelo based on the insights Irina provided as we gazed at the David. I HIGHLY recommend this tour.

Book this Tour! - Irina is an amazing tour guide. You can see her passion for what she does and her knowledge is incredible. We wish that we had done all our tours in Florence with her. We learned so much and there are things we would never have known without her being there. Grazie Irina :)

Book THIS private tour NOW! - Stop. Do not pass go! Go straight with Irina. You will not be disappointed! Intimate tour with Irina who set the stage for David, then provided an insightful and relevant tour. She carries an iPad and would intermittently open it up to demonstrate additional details. Exactly what we wanted. Highly recommend!

Amazing tour! - Irina was an amazing tour guide! I am so glad I selected this private tour. It was worth every penny. We got to see the David before the crowds and as an art history major, Irina told us so many things we never knew about Michelangelo and the David. I highly recommend it! And if you can get Irina as your private tour guide you will not be disappointed. She was amazing!
