The David, of course, is very memorable. There were 3 things I appreciated about this tour. 1) there is so much to see in the various galleries and around town. This tour hits the highlights so I didn't get overwhelmed. 2) it was helpful having a knowledgeable guide to explain why this place, painting, statue was important and how they all tied into history. 3) it made me want to learn more in-depth when I return home.
Get the most of Florence's art and history if your time is precious
