Sylvia at Liv Tours did a fantastic job!! She arrived early and knew where to stand to get into the museum quickly and get to the statue of David right away. Hardly anyone was in there yet and we were able to get pictures without anyone in the background. She was also extremely knowledgeable and answered all of our questions too!!

Wonderful Accademia Tour

We were so happy to be able to see the David when the Accademia opened. Monica was a great guide and gave the context and history behind all the wonderful art we were seeing! Would absolutely do it again next time we are in Florence!
