Skip-the-Line Florence Highlights and David Walking Tour - Alberto our guide was excellent, unfortunately for him the heavens opened and the rain fell!.. Alberto was very informative and certainly knew his history of the city with funny anecdote occasionally slipped in. Unfortunately the Skip the Line into the Academia of David proved to be a 40 minute wait! Not sure if this is the norm or down to the weather and people seeking shelter !
