Not great

We did not have a good experience with this tour. We were at the meeting point 15 minutes early, as instructed. We found the tour guide got the headsets - ready to head inside. Next we were then told that the line in would only be a few minutes once our turn came. 45 minutes later we finally got our tickets and got in line to enter the museum. Once inside, the tour started with the David statue. We spent almost 30 minutes doing a very slow circle around the statue. The information given about the statue was very scattered and felt rambling and somewhat pointless at times. My daughter and I decided to hand in our headsets and then walked around the museum ourselves - that was infinitely more enjoyable and we got more information about the art pieces. Overall, the experience with the tour and the tour guide was pretty disappointing. Thankfully the impressive nature of David, as well as the other works at the museum saved the afternoon but I would skip the guide next time.

So helpful to have a tour guide to explain all of the nuances you wouldn’t know just walking in blindly.
Everything depends on the guide you get - luck of the draw.

Our guide (I think her name was Francesca) was unenthusiastic, spoke with a very strong Italian accent that made it difficult to understand her and didn't offer radio sets like other guides so she was often muttering to herself. She kept looking at her watch and managed to make Michelangelo uninteresting. Would not recommend.
Not a TRUE “skip the line” . . .

We were a little disappointed that this tour bills itself as “skip the line” . . But it’s really not . . . You just get on the “group tour” line. It was a good tour otherwise
Deeply interesting tour!

So pleased we did this tour, so informative and our tour guide Vanessa was brilliant! Actually seeing the statue of David close up and hearing an explanation all about it was so interesting. The museum is definitely worth a visit. Just be prepared for it to be busy.
