David is absolutely...

4.00David is absolutely breathtaking. You won't believe how tall the statue is, and it magnifies every outrageously perfect detail. The Duomo is somewhat of a letdown. In fact, before we entered, our guide literally warned us that there is nothing interesting inside. So, the value of the tour is mostly skipping the lines and the expert explanations around the statue of David.
Interesting trip

1.00Tour guide terrible which ruined experience. Talks on and on and couldn't understand most of it. Do not need to pay for tour of this- can save money and do it yourself for much less and more enjoyable. Teenage kids were beyond miserable and so was I.

4.00The tour provided good access to see David and a late afternoon visit into the Duomo and tower climb when it was near closing time and less people. . The tour group seemed a bit large (more than 20 people) to rally be able to focus. Decent tour but not the best we went on in Itsly
Great Tour

5.00This was a perfect way to learn and easily access the sites. Our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable- we learned a lot and the time flew by so quickly

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
