Guide was nice but part 2 of not seeing the Duomo because the skip the line was too long was NOT what I expected. I expected to go into the Duomo with the guide not for her to tell our group go in on your own time. I asked for partial money back and they refused me! Do better Viator. 😑

Great way to see highlights of the museum without the lines. Knowledgeable tour guide was able to answer all questions. Fun tour worth the cost.
Maxine_G, Jul 2026

Great guide and fast way to see the main sites. Very informative and at a pace that was easy to manage and understand
Hai_T, Jul 2026
Interesting tour. Guide was great! Enjoyed that our ticket allowed us to climb the bell tower after and go to the Duomo museum within 72 hours.
Danielle_M, Jul 2026
This was a very great and thorough tour! Covered all of the highlights in a good amount of time and our tour guide Gulia was very friendly and explanatory.
Macauley_L, Jun 2026
Our tour guide was fabulous! She was very informed and knew a lot about Florence’s rich history and told it in an engaging, light hearted way. I would say if you’re coming to florence this tour is a must especially if you’re wanting to see The statue of david and also the museums!
Michelle_C, Jun 2026
Right amount of time and the guide was wonderful. Well worth it since the group tour lines were shorter.
Diana_L, Jun 2026
If you're looking for a short tour, this is the perfect balance of the Accademia museum emphasizing the David statue and finishing with the bell tower with optional climb. Great view from the top!
Jillian_C, Jun 2026
Worth getting tickets to skip the lines. Hiking the bell tower was super fun! Seeing David was amazing, but the inside of the Duomo was a bit of a let down as we didn’t get to see much of it.
Sushil_J, Jun 2026
Very informative tour with a great knowledgeable guide. It was nice to see both in one tour. Definitely worth it.
Anthony_K, Jun 2026
Guide was very very knowledgeable and interesting would almost consider redoing it. Would recommend for everyone
Michelle_C, Jun 2026
Visiting David was amazing. Our guides knowledge and information was exceptional! No visit to the Cathedral or duomo itself which we expected. I feel the description was misleading for this tour.
Laura_H, Jun 2026
Fantastic way to see the must-sees, while being spoon-fed the information. Easy - show up, listen and learn. Our tour guide, local to Florence, was amazingly knowledgeable about all of the art. Had a good time and saw it all.
Kris_A, Jun 2026
Our guide was excellent- very knowledgeable about art history and the particular points of interest on our tour. Highly recommend.

Paul_C, May 2026
The tour was comprehensive in that we were able to see the Galleria & Santa Maria del Fiore church with its chapel, baptistery, optional bell tower climb & museum. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, pleasant & willing to answer questions.
Sharon_G, May 2026
Very informative and enjoyable. This is a great tour to gain an understanding of the talent of Michelangelo and other artists.
Paula_W, May 2026
Great tour to see the David statue and the duomo and then we added the bell tower climb. The guide was great and had lots of interesting information. One thing to note is that the Viator booking info is a little confusing telling you a ticket redemption point and a meeting point. You do not need to go earlier on the day to redeem your ticket. You just turn up 15 mins before the tour time. Not sure why the booking info is confusing.
Lauren_R, May 2026
Francesca was a great guide. Lots of energy and incredibly knowledgeable. Perfect group size and answered all of our questions. Highly recommend this and especially the climb up the bell tower.
Mark_H, May 2026
Breath taking! The David one of wonders of the world! Highly recommend! Guide was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to listen to.
Doug_W, May 2026
It was good but I felt like she was giving a lot of extra information so as to stall us - not sure why. Also, unaware that I couldn't bring my roller bag and my husband's backpack.
Linda_A, May 2026
Our guide, Andrea, was terrific. She had so much interesting information, and she kept our small group really engaged.

Timothy_C, May 2026

Very disorganized and disappointing. The guide was terrible- she basically had 2 groups but she had no idea who was who. 2hr and 3hr group. My booking says between 2-3 hours- how is this differentiated? The guide had no idea. We did a lot of standing around. They pre-book your time slot for the bell tower- you have no choice on this. You get entry to the cathedral and museum- but the guide does not take you there. She says “you have 72 hour to go in by yourself and wait in line”. I waited for the “skip the line” entry to the cathedral for an hour- with NO guide. We spent 10 minutes in the Academia to see David and another 10 minutes inside another place. The rest was her walking around and explaining we were to do things on our own after the tour. Had I known all of this, I never would have booked. Do yourself a favor and just buy the individual tickets from the museums and cathedrals. You’re still going to wait around no matter what.
Rebecca_M, May 2026
This was a really good tour option with a quick entry into the academia museum. We got to stay for quite a while and look at the things there and then went to the Duomo. The Duomo inside and going underground into the ruins below was amazing.
