My Boyfriend Just Stared at David the Whole Time

He barely blinked. I was like “okay, calm down.” But honestly? Same. The statue is magnetic. The guide made us laugh and cry. The tour? Brilliant. David? A rockstar.

Better Than Any Souvenir

You’ll forget your souvenirs. You’ll never forget being face-to-face with David before breakfast. This tour made me feel connected to something ancient and alive. Worth every penny.

Honestly, I Was Just There for the Vibe

Did I understand all the history? No. Did I appreciate the vibe, silence, and sheer drama of walking in before everyone else? YES. Thank you, LivTours, for making me feel cultured for once.

The Hallway Before David Slaps Too

Everyone talks about David, but the unfinished sculptures? Creepy. Raw. Amazing. This tour made me appreciate the process, not just the outcome. Also, we were in and out before the mobs showed up.

The Guide Deserves a Raise

Our guide didn’t just teach — they performed. Like, full storytelling mode. We were all hanging on every word. David’s story isn’t just art, it’s politics, rebellion, passion. Iconic.

My Wife Cried. I Pretended Not To.

She cried in front of David. I pretended to be chill but it really does hit different in person. The early entry makes it even more emotional. Felt intimate. Sacred even.

A Statue Gave Me an Existential Crisis

He’s just there. Naked. Perfect. And somehow it makes you question everything. Why don’t we build things like this anymore? Why is his hand so big? Why am I crying?

Didn’t Know I Was a Sculpture Girlie Until Now

Was never an “art person” but now I can’t stop talking about marble technique. This tour was like a sexy TED Talk. Respect to Michelangelo, but even more to our guide, Serena.

Better Than Any Art Class I Ever Took

Honestly, I slept through most of Art History 101. This tour? Woke me up. Our guide had drama, charisma, and the receipts. I learned more in 90 minutes than a whole semester.

I Took So Many Pictures My Phone Died

Guilty: I came for the Instagram moment. But I stayed for the actual art lesson. Our guide served knowledge and sass. David is that dude. Bring a power bank.
