“Very good tour. Our guide, Martina, was knowledgeable and had a great, dry sense of humor. She was also refreshingly honest, explaining her own critiques of celebrated works of art; and not in an overbearing way—just to give the group more to think about. Keep in mind that this tour is primarily centered on seeing Michelangelo’s David, and unlike many Italian galleries, there isn’t a long list of showstopper works here. David is phenomenal, of course, so you won’t be disappointed!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,986 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $47

Spend about three hours with an English-speaking guide exploring Florence, Michelangelo’s David, and, with the upgraded option, the Uffizi Gallery. Guides such as Paulina, Patricia, Claudia, and Angelo bring different strengths. Expect timed entry, a short city walk, and free time between museum visits.

“Becsuse the review requires a single response to two short tours that are back to back after a break I can only give 3 stars. This however masks that I would give the morning tour 5 and afternoon 2 stars. In the morning Patricia was wonderful, informative… a well paced tour of Florence highlights and a look at David in the Accademia. Afternoon st Ufizzi was marred by long wait. Not sure what skip the line refers to here as we stood in line for 40 minutes. End result was 60 minutes in the Uffizi, 15 minutes waiting for the tour to start after check in and 45 minutes to…”

“Buyer beware. We purchased tickets for this tour through Viator. They change the time, making it earlier by an hour and a half. While I did approve the change, I received NO confirmation through WhatsApp or email. In addition, neither my tickets or my Viator app booking page was changed to reflect the time change. Every proof of purchase and confirmation we received included the original time NOT the revised time. The only place to see the new time was in the Viator chat. As a result, we missed the tour. We have no idea how the tour was, but Viator was NOT helpful. City Wonders was NOT helpful. We…”

Start with Michelangelo’s David at the Accademia, then enter the Duomo with an English-speaking guide before walking through Piazza della Signoria, the Porcellino market, and Ponte Vecchio. Choose VIP access for the Duomo’s North Terrace and dome climb. Groups are limited to 18.

“Nice but brief tour through Academia to see the original David and the Duomo, along with brief outdoor tour of local area. Seemed like we skipped over a lot to see in both locations, but definitely got to see the highlights. This was NOT a “Skip the line” tour as advertised, and we had to stand outside in the rain for about 20 minutes to get into the Duomo. Tour guide was very informative. Enjoyed the experience.”
