Statue of David and Florence Highlights - We had a great time on our tour with Elena! She was so wonderful and kind to work with. She gave us lots of information, engaged us with insightful questions, and offered an adaptable/flexible tour to make sure our 2 girls were involved in all the learning. She was a wealth of information and was able to answer all of our questions as well as offer lots of viewpoints while discussing the statue of David. We walked away from that exhibit not feeling rushed, but feeling like we had gained so much perspective on a work of art that we were all so excited to see in person. She also gave us all the information as we toured some of the highlights of Florence. She even took several pictures for us to cherish later. Elena was an amazing guide and we would recommend this tour!

Excellent guide and tour worth skipping the ticket line - Samuela did an excellent job finding us in the huge crowd trying to get to this tour. She was very knowledgeable about not only the statute of David but also had excellent information about the other exhibits of art and musical instruments. The walking tour in the town was excellent as well. Her great tips about restaurants really helped our day go well. This was a great tour and well worth it!

Definitely recommend. - Elena was a fantastic guide. We had a situation with a late train and the a snafu with a rental car that made us even later, and she was patient and calming with us. The tour itself was informative and insightful. We learned so much more with Elena than we could have on our own.

Semi-private was well worth it - Tour guide was excellent as was communication and coordination for the visit. We loved it. Only reason for a 4 is that we wanted more time on the city part of the tour, for example we didn’t have the chance to see ponte vecchio. But I still highly recommend and greatly appreciated all our tour guide shared with us.
