Nice tour - Headsets would go in and out throughout the tour, so that was unfortunate, but guide did a nice job, it was very crowded, but we were able to learn and enjoy the Galleria.

Excellent Tour !! - Excellent Tour ! Highly Recommend !! I have taken the Tour Before, Then we had ear buds to cover both ears (Helped block out background noise from the room) This tour however we only had 1 in one ear, and it made it Difficult to just hear the tour Guide. Recommend they go back to 2 ear plugs.

Such a wonderful experience - Alicia was fantastic and passionate about the art. I wish we had her when we did the Rome Museum tour. She was very knowledgeable and took time to get you to appreciate the master pieces

Tour of David - Enjoyed the small group. Our family of 4 and 2 others. Was easy to meet the tour group outside the museum. Our guide was very friendly and very informative. Is a smaller museum so doing the tour a smaller group was great. Would definitely recommend this tour

Guided tour of the Accademia - Well it was my fault i had to even do this in the first place as i was late reserving a ticket to see David. In short our English tour guide had a cough, didn't speak particularly good English, the wireless mic had a short in it and the 60 minute tour was 38 minutes because they were late and she had to get to her "walking tour". All in all it was a ticket in but i give the tour a 1/10. Big thumbs down!
