You cannot go to Florence and not see David! The tour guide arranged our entry quickly, bringing us from the meeting point, a short walk from the Accademia, straight into the entrance. The quick entry was worth the price, this visit isn't cheap though!! There are some wonderful pieces here, so take your time to explore, rather than head straight for David. And when you turn into the gallery to see him, perfectly positioned in great natural light, it does take your breath away. Also, walking all around him to get the full effect, you will admire Michelangelo's attention to detail, something I never fully appreciated from photos previously. Thus can be a short visit, but definitely worth it!!

Very easy to collect tickets. Pick up point was exactly where detailed. There was no skip the queue area that was mentioned but the museum had a very organised process for getting people in and the wait time was not long. Id recommend booking early tickets so you get the museum at a slightly quieter time before it gets busy.

We booked the Accademia Gallery Skip-the-Line Guided Tour through Headout and had a great experience. Skipping the extremely long line was worth it alone, but the tour itself exceeded expectations. Our group was small, which made it easy to follow and ask questions. The guide was incredibly informative—we learned so much about the history and artistry of the museum, especially the iconic statue of David, which was absolutely breathtaking in person. The tour lasted about an hour and covered all the key highlights of the Accademia Gallery, with just the right balance of depth and pace. Highly recommend this tour if you want a richer, more meaningful visit without the stress of waiting in line.

I visited the Academia Gallery specifically to see Michelangelo’s David, which of course was spectacular. The Gallery was also filled with beautiful treasures, both paintings and sculpture, including a beautiful fresco fragment by Giotto. My favorite room of all was the Lorenzo Bartolini’s Plaster Casts Gallery, which felt like stepping into a Renaissance painting.

The guide was knowledge and it was very interesting! My kids (13, 11, 7) and I all had a great time and learned a lot! Hardly any wait in line to get in, and didn't feel rushed in the exhibit at all. Spent a lot of time at the David and from multiple angles. Loved it! It was my first experience with a guided tour and I so glad we did it! BUT I am disappointed with the back end of things - when booking the tour it said to meet far away from the accademia and instead to meet near the uffitzi - thst didn't make sense to me, so I chatted online with someone and they confirmed the location and that we'd walk with our guide over. The day before the tour I got an email confirming that same location. When we arrived I was told we were at the wrong location and needed to hurry over to the meeting spot by the accademia. We then needed to RUN through the city to get there on time so we wouldn't miss the tour. We arrived sweaty and frazzled. The tour guide was fantastic, but the communication leading up to the tour was not good.

The guided tour itself was great and enjoyable, although it was packed in the gallery. The lead up was very confusing though as there were lots of tour guides and people at the meeting point and no one was holding signs saying who they were or which tour was which. We had to approach several people to work out where we were meant to be,then there was a really long wait in the heat for a load more people to turn up, so we were not quite the small group I had hoped for. Then there was another long wait in the so called skip the queue line. However the gallery experience was good despite the crowds and David is an absolutely amazing spectacle and it was great to have the guide explain everything in more detail than we would have learned on our own.

We visited the Uffizi Gallery late in the afternoon so it wasn't very crowded. The exhibits there are exquisite, no doubt it is one of the world's greatest collections. People with reduced mobility should be made aware, they will need to request access by lift to the top floor, as there are several magnificent flights of stairs to get there! But once you do, it's amazing! Not only the artwork, the building itself is stunning, beautifully maintained and the views out over the city are also worth seeing! Fantastic value for money too.

Also we loved the terrace on the 3rd floor and enjoyed cappuccinos with the lovely setting and view. I would not waste $$ on headphones - very limited and not too informative. Instead ask chatGPT to prepare an itinerary for you based on how long you plan to visit. Ciao!

I love the whole experience and doing the tour with otehr people. It was amazing to finally see Michealangelo's Obra Maestra, DAVID. The tour guide is very knowledgeable and has sense of humor which I think is a very important skill to embody so the participants will have fun at the same time.

Myself and my friend had a great tour of Academia. It was concentrated on the history of Michelangelo given it was only an hour duration but we enjoyed that and understanding this amazing artist in more detail and centring around the build of David. I recall it was Vera who was our guide in English. She was very good and could be clearly understood. Still left us the opportunity to explore the valley further after the tour.

We booked the Accademia Gallery Skip-the-Line Guided Tour through Headout and had a great experience. Skipping the extremely long line was worth it alone, but the tour itself exceeded expectations. Our group was small, which made it easy to follow and ask questions. The guide was incredibly informative—we learned so much about the history and artistry of the museum, especially the iconic statue of David, which was absolutely breathtaking in person. The tour lasted about an hour and covered all the key highlights of the Accademia Gallery, with just the right balance of depth and pace. Highly recommend this tour if you want a richer, more meaningful visit without the stress of waiting in line.

The guide was knowledge and it was very interesting! My kids (13, 11, 7) and I all had a great time and learned a lot! Hardly any wait in line to get in, and didn't feel rushed in the exhibit at all. Spent a lot of time at the David and from multiple angles. Loved it! It was my first experience with a guided tour and I so glad we did it! BUT I am disappointed with the back end of things - when booking the tour it said to meet far away from the accademia and instead to meet near the uffitzi - thst didn't make sense to me, so I chatted online with someone and they confirmed the location and that we'd walk with our guide over. The day before the tour I got an email confirming that same location. When we arrived I was told we were at the wrong location and needed to hurry over to the meeting spot by the accademia. We then needed to RUN through the city to get there on time so we wouldn't miss the tour. We arrived sweaty and frazzled. The tour guide was fantastic, but the communication leading up to the tour was not good.

The guided tour itself was great and enjoyable, although it was packed in the gallery. The lead up was very confusing though as there were lots of tour guides and people at the meeting point and no one was holding signs saying who they were or which tour was which. We had to approach several people to work out where we were meant to be,then there was a really long wait in the heat for a load more people to turn up, so we were not quite the small group I had hoped for. Then there was another long wait in the so called skip the queue line. However the gallery experience was good despite the crowds and David is an absolutely amazing spectacle and it was great to have the guide explain everything in more detail than we would have learned on our own.

You cannot go to Florence and not see David! The tour guide arranged our entry quickly, bringing us from the meeting point, a short walk from the Accademia, straight into the entrance. The quick entry was worth the price, this visit isn't cheap though!! There are some wonderful pieces here, so take your time to explore, rather than head straight for David. And when you turn into the gallery to see him, perfectly positioned in great natural light, it does take your breath away. Also, walking all around him to get the full effect, you will admire Michelangelo's attention to detail, something I never fully appreciated from photos previously. Thus can be a short visit, but definitely worth it!!

David was the main attraction we wanted to see. It was very touristy as all of Florence is & very confusing to get in by ourselves. purchasing the guided tour made it very easy as they acquired our tickets for us, led us with a group inside, and made the process simple. We did lose the group inside as it was a bit chaotic withthe amount of people at the museums first room & we roamerd around by ourselves after the security checkpoint. Well worth the price for the convenience over the non-reservation line.

Very easy to collect tickets. Pick up point was exactly where detailed. There was no skip the queue area that was mentioned but the museum had a very organised process for getting people in and the wait time was not long.

Top things to do in Florence

  • Timed entry tickets are the most popular option and sell out quickly. You can walk in at your chosen slot and skip the long ticket queue. However, this doesn't let you bypass the ticket redemption line or security check — you’ll still need to factor in 15–30 mins of wait time at the entrance, especially during peak hours it can be 1-2 hours long. Book at least 2-3 days in advance, as time slots sell out quickly.
  • Skip-the-line guided tours are your best bet for a stress-free visit. You get to bypass both the ticket purchase and redemption lines. You’ll meet your guide, get your entry ticket, and walk straight in. With a local expert, you'll not only see the David but also learn about Michelangelo’s process, the unfinished Slaves, and the gallery’s rich collection of Renaissance art.
  • Hosted entry tickets are ideal if you want someone to take care of entry logistics.A host meets you outside the gallery, validates your ticket, and escorts you directly to the entrance — no lines, no confusion. It’s the easiest way to skip queues without joining a full tour. Keep in mind, though, that a host is not a guide—they won’t stay with you or provide commentary. 
  • Audio guide options are great if you prefer going at your own pace. Available in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, and Chinese, these help you understand the artworks and context without a live guide. Combine them with hosted entry for maximum ease and flexibility.
  • If you're curious about Florence’s art scene or Michelangelo’s legacy, a private guided tour offers the most immersive experience. You’ll explore in an intimate setting with just your guide, enjoy a fully tailored itinerary, skip-the-line entry, and headsets to hear clearly even in crowded halls. Especially useful for families or art lovers who want more freedom to ask questions or take their time.

Combos with the Uffizi Gallery give you the best value. Florence’s top two art museums complement each other — Accademia focuses on sculpture and Michelangelo, while Uffizi houses Renaissance paintings from Botticelli, Leonardo, and more. Combo tickets and guided tours help you see both in one day and save money while you're at it.
