So satisfying!

Holly_M, Sep 2026

Our guide was very knowledgeable, patient and professional. We learned so much about Michelangelo and the sculpture David.

I’ve done this tour twice...

Alan_M, Apr 2026

I’ve done this tour twice in a year and a half. The first time was great. Very informative and easy to understand. This last guide was very weak in her English language. I turned off the headphones halfway through.

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Guest, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for choosing to join this tour again. We’re very pleased to hear that your first experience was great and informative, and we truly appreciate your loyalty. At the same time, we’re sorry to learn that your most recent tour did not meet the same standard, particularly regarding the guide’s level of English. We understand how important clear communication is in order to fully enjoy and appreciate a guided experience. All of our guides are selected and trained to deliver high‑quality tours, but your comments highlight an area where we clearly fell short. Please be assured that your feedback will be shared with our team so we can address this and continue improving our service. Thank you again for your honesty, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and restore your confidence in our tours. Kind regards, Customer Service Team

Knowledgeable Guide. No Waiting.

Matthew_S, Sep 2025

Our guide was wonderful. An art history major she explained about David, and related works. We walked right past all the folks waiting in line. Great experience.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Dear Customer, Thank you for your kind review! We’re so glad to hear that you had a great experience and that your guide, with her background in art history, was able to offer such insightful explanations about David and related works. Skipping the line and diving straight into the tour is always a plus! We hope to welcome you again for more enriching experiences. Best Regards, Customer Service Team

Fine tour but over priced

Ali_B, Jul 2025

The tour guide was great and very knowledgeable. Meeting point is confusing, you go to the small square but then go to the tour shop. Tour was about 45 minutes. I would purchase a ticket directly from the museum if you can. Not sure if it was worth 49 Euro each.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the tour guide and found them knowledgeable. Regarding the duration and value of the tour, we’d like to highlight that a guided visit—even if brief—offers insights, stories, and historical context that you wouldn’t get by simply purchasing a ticket and visiting the site on your own. It really depends on what kind of experience you're looking for: some guests prefer to explore independently, while others appreciate the added depth a guide can provide. We hope the guide’s expertise added value to your visit, and we appreciate your thoughts as they help us improve! Best Regards, Customer Service Team

A must~see

David_D, May 2025

The statue of David is a must-see. Our tour guide was amazing! Her passion for the artwork made the tour even more special.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Dear valued Guest, Thank you for your very positive feedback. Your comments are very important for us to improve our services and we are glad you had a lovely experience with us and we met your travelling expectations. We appreciate your kind words for our guide and we are happy you enjoyed every part of the tour. We hope to be your choice for your future holiday destinations. Kind regards, Customer Service team

Disappointment

Erica_M, Apr 2025

The tour started very late due to latecomers and others failing to turn up at all! We did not like the fact that one of the tour organisers (we presume) tried to force us to join a group with the latecomers who had young children and a crying very young baby. We refused on the basis that we did not pay £80+ to be distracted by a crying baby. The tour operator begrudgingly relented. Our eventual tour guide, Camilla, was pleasant, engaging and knowledgeable however this was not enough to compensate for a tour which only lasted 40 minutes! This tour was not good value for money and we would not recommend. Choose a different company!

The “skip the line”...

Kenneth_R, Mar 2025

The “skip the line” tickets are absolutely imperative. We travelled towards the end of the low season, but the lines were still amazingly long. Our tour guide provided a very in depth analysis of the David statue from all angles. Once the tour was over, we were free to continue exploring the museum on our own.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Dear Customer, Thank you for your very positive feedback. Your comments are crucial for us to improve our services and I am glad you had a lovely experience with us. We hope to be your choice for your future holiday destinations. Kind regards, Customer Service team

Short and sweet

Mimi_K, Aug 2024

Very good guide, entertaining and knowledgeable. Loved walking right into the museum with no wait! I enjoyed her descriptions and explanations and learning more about sculpture and David.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

La Academia

Carol_I, May 2024

We thought Martina did an excellent job at f explaining the sculptures and art as it when from one time period to the next. The statue of David is breathtaking
