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!!
Amazing, Informative Journey!

We had a tremendous experience with Elia at the Accademia and Uffizi galleries in Florence. It was enjoyable to learn about the historical significance of the works of art, but also the intricacies of the art work itself. We highly recommend Elia!
