5.00This is the only way to go to visit the statue of David and the Duomo. Our guide was so well informed, and the information I received, I would never have known had I not gone on the tour. It was also wonderful that we skipped all the lines and had some pretty private time in the chapel. We got to tour the chapel when you had to have a reservation to get in. Our guide was not only well educated she was very organized and I was amazed how smoothly we flowed through everything.
Very good
