We enjoyed the Statue of David without the crowds! - A truly unforgettable experience! Monica was so informative and highlighted the most important and interesting facts on our tour. She’s didn’t overwhelm us with facts, but kept us interested with all of her knowledge…If that makes sense!! Not to mention she got us quickly to the Statue of David to enjoy without the crowds! So grateful for the entire experience!!
