Before entering, your guide will help you admire him from every angle, explaining the techniques that Michelangelo used to make marble look as soft as butter.

Fun in the sun with just a touch of rain!!!! - Our tour guide Gabriel and our driver Ulta (sp?) were both wonderful, very knowledgeable and fun!!!! The bus was very comfortable and allowed us to see many sites in the country. Lunch was wonderful and relaxing, beautiful farm and wonderful host. I would definitely book with this company again and if I could have the same guide and driver, even better.

Great tour - Claudia Durante was our guide in the morning. She explained and pointed out interesting things as we walked from the Uffizi to the Academia. I learned a lot about Michelangelo and some of his works. We had a different guide for the Uffizi. I enjoyed hearing her explain some of the paintings. It’s a long day visiting both museums. If you only have 1 day to visit both this is a good experience
