      Greta way to skip the line
      Worth the price to skip the general admission line. Not the tours fault by any means, but it was incredibly crowded throughout the guided tour. This made it hard to enjoy the art comfortably. Look for less busy times to schedule your tour (we did 5pm for reference). Also, the tour is just of the section of the statues, obviously a main attraction of the gallery- but having a guide to explain the other parts of the museum (painting and musical instruments) would also be advantageous.

      Complete waste if money , do not book
      Booked tour online it was made to seem like the entry tickets to the museum in Florence were included in the 50 euro price. On arrival they were not . We paid just for a commentary not entry tickets . Absolutely awful . Asked for refund , not guven and No response from seller - absolute scam . Expected more when booked through viatir and trip advisor

      Good fun for food enthusiasts.
      Great fun pasta making. Unlimited wine was a nice bonus. The session consisted of making more than one type of pasta which and the chef was really good fun to be around. Defo took a few tips away with me to try at home. Lots of fun!

      Best cooking class!
      My fiancé and I went to this cooking class this afternoon and we learnt a lot and had a great time. Marco was fantastic, he made the experience so much fun! There was unlimited wine while making the pasta. Best part was eating it and chatting with the group. I definitely would recommend it!

      SCAMMERS AVOID AVOID AVOID
      What a absolute rip off avoid avoid avoid we paid £46 for two of us to turn up and then have to buy the entry ticket via the scammers and even that has a extra mark up so yes then another €40 - very unclear your not getting entry - the ear piece they gave was broke and my god they was boring - just realise this is a scam from start to finish

      Best tour to enjoy a masterpiece
      The tour was excellent, Claudio was our guide and he was so informative- we got so much more out of the accademia and enjoyed learning about Michelangelo- super recommend for those who don’t have an art history background to get the most from viewing this masterpiece

      Can’t recommend more! Do it!
      This tour was a life saver! We didn’t know that we needed to reserve tickets in advance and it was sold out for the day when we got there. We hoped on this tour last minute to be able to get in and we are so glad we did! Our tour guide was wonderful and we gained so much more by having him and his insight to museum as a whole. Definitely recommend! It was one of our favorite parts of the trip!

      Amazing, Inspiring Tour
      This was an excellent tour and we highly recommend it! Claudio is an excellent tour guide and not only is very well-versed in art history, (especially of David), but is engaging and inspiring as well. All of us, most notably our 13-year-old grandson, learned so much we’d never known about the David sculpture before. And we learned much about Michelangelo-his life, his skill, his personality and how he approached his work. None of us are knowledgeable about art history, but Claudio made it enjoyable to learn. We could now give a (very simple) overview of the David sculpture! Thank you Claudio. It was a highlight of our stay in Florence.

      Overall pleasant experience it was just too hot of a summer day
      Very good experience very very nice guide Katerina. She was very sweet and helpful. It was just unusually hot, but that’s no one’s fault. We skipped the line, but I had no idea that the ticket prices for admission we’re not included in the skip the tour tickets. Just take that into consideration once you’re booking.

    Definitely the best tour guide we experienced throughout our stay in Italy. We fell in love with Italy because of the gorgeous country, food, and culture. We fell in love with Florence because of the people. Elvis was a true highlight during our stay, his passion of art history and Michael Angelo plus his storytelling at one point had me so touched i left Florence with a deeper understanding and passion for the artists and cannot wait to come back.

    “I cannot thank you enough for your excellent tour. I am now hooked on Florence and Renaissance art. I decided my favorite painting was Giotto's Ognissanti Madonna because he tried increasing perspective and making Madonna more like a real person

    “Just book it! Elvis was such a great tour guide we did 2 tours with him. His expert knowledge helped us understand the meaning behind the art. Without him there we wouldn’t even know where to start. Book it book it book it!”

    “We had a great experience Elvis. He was very intuitive and knowledgeable. I thought I knew some of the history, but Elvis explanations of stories opened my mind up to information I never knew. We learned a lot from his expertise. He articulated everything in a very fun and interesting way. I would recommend this experience to anybody”

    Meeting up with our guide did not go so well, and I don't understand why. We were there before the time, but the email he sent to clarify where was sent 1-2 hours before and I wasn't looking at email then. We finally met up, but then he said wait here... another guide came and told us we were with her now. Really don't understand that. The new guide was good, maybe spent a little long at each picture but was very knowledgeable.

    There is no better tour guide than elvis!! My museum experience was so much better because of what I learned from him. And the cost of the ticket was worth every penny to not wait in the line! Do not see this museum without Elvis!

    Elvis is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST! I was here 2 years ago with my friends! We are from Texas, and found him on the Airbnb experiences! Elvis took us on 4 different tours! Now, I am back and called him for another 2 tours… a refresher tour!
    I 💙 his knowledge and his sweet personality!
    Now we are friends forever!
