We loved his explanations, his energy and timing to allow us to experience the David as much as we desired. It was a wonderful experience, and highly recommend asking for Paulo!!

3.00The guided tour, talking 👄 about David a lot. They didn't tell us that you can't have any liquid in your bag. I purchased two small wines as a survivor that I throw it away during security check
Worth the money

4.00Worth the time to take a guided tour as you learn a lot of things you probably wouldn't know about the statue David and Michelangelo. It was well organized. The tour operator was pleasant and well spoken. And you really want to skip the line in the heat!
Good tour

5.00The meeting point was easy to find. Getting into the academia was maybe a 10 minute wait security and we were in. The guide Marcello was great. And there was a gift shop for more could you want?
