The guide gave us an excellent tour. She got us into the museum with no line and her discussions of the musical instruments and detail on the David statue were outstanding. She gave us her full attention and allowed us to move at our own pace. It was worth the money spent for us.

Our tour guide was a fountain of Renaissance knowledge and history. It was an excellent tour that skipped a lot of very long lines and was completely worth it.
