Our tour guide was the best!! We thought that there were going to be others with us but it was just my wife and I and the guide!! I am NOT an “art person”, our guide made the art interesting to me!! My wife has always wanted to see the David statue, I was there because my wife wanted to see everything! At the end of the day, I am very grateful that I was there and got to experience it all!!! A GREAT GUIDE makes for a VERY GREAT tour!! We (I) learned A LOT!!!! I would definitely recommend this tour!!
