5.00Our guide was very patient and informative! She had so much history to offer about not only David, but the instruments, and paintings as well. With the tour being an hour, she knew the important items to talk about. I would do this again.
A lovely hour with David

5.00Brilliant tour Visit involves queue time but the guide Annette used the time to give background on the exhibits in the gallery and in particular Michelangelo so we knew a lot before we entered the building. Tour itself was very informative and very well delivered with a lovely mix of hard and soft detail.
Easy to use.
