Very kind & knowledgeable guide. Beautiful experience. Because it was a Sunday, there were no cathedral tours but we were given tickets to come back. Since we had other plans we were unable to return. That should probably be disclosed ahead of time.

Very knowledgeable guide, she made the experience interesting and kept our attention. The climb of the Duomo was memorable and the Accademia was equally memorable

It's great. I enjoyed her explanation and the personal small group attention. We are able to focus on the sculpture and learn about the discussions arise on the each of the sculpture. The walk is just nice with the combination of Academia and Duomo walk. The ticket also allow us to explore the church and other museums on our own.
