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.

Tour Company Responsive and Helpful, Guide Knowledgeable - Babylon Tours has exemplary customer service. We needed to fit in another tour on the same day. They were immediately responsive to emails and did all they could to be accommodating. We are very appreciative. Our guide Elena taught us much! She brought the history and art to life.

Wonderful Guide and Terrific Experience - Alessandra was a TERRIFIC tour guide on this wonderful, memorable experience. We had a private tour of the Accademia and the Uffizi. Alessandra has remarkably in-depth knowledge of the history, intrigue and art history, which combined to make the tour outstanding. We have done more than one Uffizi tour through the years, and this was the best. We had the benefit of walking through the city and hearing the history of many important sights - Duomo, the river and Pontevecchio, to name a few. She also had all the pro-tips for getting to the key parts of the museum ahead of crowds, which was super. A+++

Exquisite Tour of the David Statue - The tour is simply exquisite. We were mesmerized by the Statue of David. The explanations and informations given to us in every detail by our tour guide Annette is just so wonderful. We learnt so much about arts and culture, the renaissance period, Medici family and much more as we walked around the historical sights with Annette after we visited the Accademia. A must tour when you are in Florence.. and yes do make sure Annette is your tour guide.
