Worth the convenience and education - As a lazy tourist, I want someone to navigate the lines and ticketing system for me so I can focus on the art and culture. The tour guide was knowledgeable and passionate about the art and had very intricate knowledge of Michelangelo's work and other significant pieces. This was also a great introductory tour of Florence, so we got a good description of history of the city.

Loved seeing David! - Jade did an excellent job leading this tour! I only wish it had included more indoor church/ museum sites and fewer outdoor. Outdoors we fought crowds and saw fewer things.
