This tour was a deeply enriching exploration of Michelangelo. Mario's animated energy and remarkable knowledge made every moment feel alive. He drew each of us into the creative and philosophical process, expanding on themes that added real depth and meaning. It felt less like a tour and more like an art history class with a spiritual awakening, reminding us that Michelangelo’s true brilliance lies not just in the masterpieces, but in the process behind them. I left inspired, energized, and grateful for an experience that was both memorable and profoundly special.
Wonderful experience with Mario. He's a gem! Very knowledgeable, expressive and charismatic. I wished he would stay longer to visit every art piece!! Thank you, Mario!
Our tour guide Mario did an amazing job discussing the creation process of Michelangelo's David! He has a lot of energy and interacted with all of us on the tour! My family would definitely book a tour with him next time we are in Florence!!
Amazing tour guide, very passionate and teaches life lessons as well as the theory behind Michelangelo’s works of art.
I honestly don’t know where to begin. This tour genuinely blew my mind and left me with a lot to think about (he wasn’t kidding when he said that in the description). My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour! Loved Mario’s energy, enthusiasm, unique insights and of course his ability to connect with everyone in the group. Definitely a must-do for those interested in the philosophical perspective behind Michelangelo’s works! So glad we got the chance to do this tour with Mario!
Mario was great super interesting and kept us all engaged through history
Mario was great! Very knowledgable.
Really interesting, informative tour, energetically delivered by Mario. He is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about art and Michaelangelo. Highly recommend
We loved Mario’s energy, spirit and his delivery of knowledge. Highly recommended!
This was the perfect length tour for my family, which included a 6 and 8 year old. Mario was super engaging and does a masterful job building on the knowledge you’re learning to allow for everyone to keep up and understand more about Michelangelo’s process. Highly recommended!!
