Best tour in Florence. - The tickets to visit the museum independently were sold out. We really wanted to visit the Bargello, so our only option was to book a tour—and we were so glad we did! My husband and I visited the museum on August 19, 2024 at 10am and were fortunate enough to have a private tour. Unfortunately, we don’t remember our tour guide’s name, but she was absolutely fantastic and very passionate about her job. She was very knowledgeable, and we learned so much about the various items in the museum, including amazing facts about Donatello and Da Vinci. If you get an opportunity to visit, book a tour guide—you’ll learn so much more than you would on your own.

Good tour! - Our guide Hilaria met us by the Bargello entrance. She was friendly, knowledgeable & easy to understand. The museum was worth the visit. No lines, not crowded. Many interesting sculptures, including 3-4 by Michelangelo. Glad we went on this tour.

Perfect tour guide - interesting, informative and contextual - Our wonderful guide, Martina, pitched the tour and talk just right. She gave a brief history of Florence and the Bargello, giving context to the art works she highlighted on the tour. She also told us about other parts of the Bargello we could explore ourselves after our tour with her was finished. Thank you Martina

Fabulous museum! - Fantastic museum . I loved the history of the building , the architecture- and of course the art. A very informative visit - the only reason it wasn’t 5* was because the visit was a bit rushed . I couldn’t hear the guide well (no radio) and there was an echo of other visitors on the stone walls . Fortunately we could stay after the tour and continue on our own

Wonderful museum. Average tour. - The guide was knowledgeable, but dry and not very animated. Lots of context for the different pieces of art, but very little on the techniques, history, and significance. Enjoyed the museum, but will find a different tour company next time!
