Excellent tour of the Academia. Olga, our guide was very well prepared; knowledgeable, and funny. We got to learn so much about Michael Angelo and his David. The musical instruments museum too was well worth it. Do not hesitate! Skipping the lines is totally worth it.

Our guide was incredibly engaging and very knowledgable about all of the subjects in the museum. She was also able to lead our group through without disturbing the other museum patrons and we all felt that we could see the art just as well if not better than if we were to go alone. The tour was well rounded and covered everything that I wanted to hear. I would absolutely book with them again.

The experience was very good: the preparation at Ciao Florence's office, the radio equipment and, above all, our guide Manoel, who was extremely knowledgeable and fun. It was worth every Euro spent on it!

Ok. The wait was somewhat chaotic but once it began it was very good. The leader was excellent and I'd do it again. I was impressed with her knowledge and humor!
