The tour guide was fantastic!
I wish we could rate the guide differently from the tour.
I was surprised for an “after hours tour” that it was still enormously crowded and loud. Around 6:30 it really cleared out and we could breathe and look at things without fifty people in the way. That’s what I was expecting from an “after hours tour.” Our guide was excellent. I don’t want to leave 3 stars because it isn’t her fault. But honestly I was a little disappointed it was so crowded.
The “stitch” item was a waste of everyone’s time and an insult to the tour guide who is incredibly knowledgeable about serious art topics. If people want to see that they should go to Disney World. That’s not why we went to the Accademia. 😁
We loved our guide!

I wish I could remember his name now, but he was fantastic! So knowledgeable, easy to follow and making the history come alive. It’s easy to see so much history and miss so much of the context, but this tour really helped us see it come together!

This was a great tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and we loved that while there was time to learn about the history, we still had time to look at our leisure.
Marco is the best tour guide!

Cosetta was a fantastic guide and completely understanding of the reason behind scheduling the tour: David! She shared wonderful historical context for multiple pieces, answered additional questions, and allowed freedom of exploration in the museum. We left about 6:10 so we could make it to another event beginning at 6:30, and she was appreciative we made the plan to squeeze this tour into a very busy day. Highly recommend!
