5.00Tour was great with Filomena as our guide, she was full of knowledge and had a great personality. She took us through the background of both Michelangelo and Florence to set the scene and better understand the statue of David. She was very informative while keeping it easily digestible, fun and interesting at the same time. Would definitely recommend!
