You’ll spot your expert guide holding a clearly marked sign (or maybe even a big smile and a flag!) right outside the gallery, at a nearby café or in a designated square (the specifics will be mentioned on your ticket)
With your time-slot locked in and entry handled, you’ll move smoothly through the security check and into the first hall. The short lines you might encounter at the security check are unavoidable. Your guide will ensure the group stays together and equipped with headsets, so you can hear clearly even in busy sections.
Your first stop is the Hall of the Colossus, where you’ll be introduced to Giambologna’s dramatic Rape of the Sabines. Your guide will explain the techniques and symbolism behind this Mannerist marvel, setting the tone for the masterpieces ahead.
Next, enter The Tribune, home to the show-stopper—Michelangelo’s David. Towering at over 17 feet, David is a symbol of human potential and Florence’s Renaissance spirit. Your guide will share the incredible story of how Michelangelo sculpted David from a single block of flawed marble.
Move on to the Hall of the Prisoners, where four powerful, unfinished statues—the Slaves—seem to wrestle their way out of marble. Your guide will explain Michelangelo’s “non-finito” technique and how these works were originally designed for Pope Julius II’s grand tomb.
Now for something a little different — a surprise highlight that many visitors overlook! You'll step into the Museum of Musical Instruments, home to rare and historic instruments, including pieces by Stradivari himself.
As the tour continues, you'll discover beautiful paintings by artists like Sandro Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, and Andrea del Sarto. These works show Florence's vibrant artistic soul beyond Michelangelo — and your guide will highlight details that are easy to miss on your own.
Felt like you didn't quite get enough, or want to examine an installation a little more closely? Feel free to stay back and explore the gallery at your own pace, long after your guided tour is over.
If you're late, most tours cannot admit you past the start time, and your slot may be treated as a no‑show with no refund. Always arrive at least 15 minutes early and check your voucher for the exact meeting point.
Yes, kids can join! Tours are engaging and include short walks. Guides can adjust their pace and narrative to entertain families. It's always good to mention ages when booking.
The perfect tour for you depends on the type of traveler you are, your interests, time you've got at hand, etc. Here are some tours you can choose from:
-Skip-the-line tours: Especially if you're short on time, this tour is a great option to see the gallery's top highlights and benefit from the expertise of a local guide.
-Combo tours: If you've got the time, explore more of Florence with these tours. See the Florence Cathedral, visit the Uffizi Gallery and stroll through the historic city centre.
Since the Accademia Gallery houses some of the world's most iconic art collections, listening to a local guide who's a subject matter expert will give you a more in-depth understanding of the meaning and significance of these works. They might be able to point out to you nuances in form, skill and technique that may otherwise go unnoticed by the untrained eye. Moreover, they'll help you navigate the gallery better, guiding you through the rooms in a progressive manner so it's easy to follow the development of the paintings, sculptures and instruments. A guided tour in most cases also offers hosted entry/priority access, helping you bypass the long queues.
Guided tours are naturally capped at a higher fee due to the bonus advantage of offering live commentary, insights and interactions, etc. They are also more expensive given that they include assistance at the entry, priority access, etc. Usually, they are priced at least €10-15 more than regular tickets.
Expect light to moderate walking—about 1 kilometer over 1–1.5 hours—mostly on flat, hard surfaces. Comfortable shoes are highly recommended.
Not at all! Your guide can speak your language, so opt for the tour in a language you're comfortable in. However, the availability of these languages can vary. Do check the details of the specific tour you're interested in to make sure it's available in your language of choice.
Yes. All groups of 8+ use headsets to ensure everyone hears the guide clearly, even in busy rooms. Smaller groups may share microphones or tour systems.
The Accademia Gallery guided tour covers all the seven museum halls inside the Accademia Gallery and gives a glimpse into some of the finest and most celebrated works of art in the history of Italian art. You can see the iconic statue of David, plaster casts by Lorenzo Bartolini and more.
It depends on the type of Accademia Gallery tour you book. Small group tours have a limit of 15 people or less while the other guided tours can accommodate up to a maximum of 20 people. Private tours is just you and your guide.
Yes. Your Accademia Gallery tours include skip the line access. This ensures that you can dive right into the artworks without wasting time in long entrance queues.
Yes. You can cancel your Accademia Gallery tour tickets between 24 to 48 hours before the scheduled date and get a full refund. Please check the cancellation policy before booking your tickets.
Yes, you can rent audio guides for €6 from the gallery's bookshop. They help you explore the gallery at your own pace and leisure, offering key information about the halls and their exhibits.
The duration of your tour depends on the type you have chosen. While a guided tour of just the Accademia Gallery guided tours is between 1-1.5 hours long, combo tours can take up to half the day or longer. The duration of your tour may also get extended if you choose to gather more information from your guide, etc.
You can expect to meet your guide at the main entrance of the Accademia Gallery, or at a location that's just a stone's throw from the gallery. The guide often also acts as your host, leading you through the halls and explaining the significance of the collections inside them.
While a general guided tour takes you only through Accademia Gallery, booking combo tours like this helps you see the top collections inside both the Uffizi and Accademia galleries.
Guided tours generally start on time, so if a guest arrives late, they will most likely miss their entry and won't be permitted to join the group. Aim to arrive at least 15 minutes before the tour is scheduled to begin so you can make the most of this valuable experience.
Galya was wonderful! Very knowledgeable, very personable, and fun too! It was the perfect way for my teenagers to experience seeing David for the first time. Highly reccomend this experience
The visit to Academia Gallery was very interesting. Our guide, Ana, explained, with a lot of passion, the history of David statue and the art of Michelangelo. I reccomand to plan a guided tour. You will feel better the energy of the place, throuth the storey told by the guide.
Headout was so easy to use! I was worried that because I didn't have a QR code before entering that the ticket wouldn't be accepted but don't worry! The staff at Accademia knew exactly what they were looking that, getting in was a breeze. BEAUTIFUL gallery too. I have a newfound appreciation for sculpture. Was definitely worth the money and the wait; even though the line might look long when trying to enter the gallery, it moves VERY quickly. Definitely using Headout again!
Everything went very smoothly and we didn't have to wait in line. The entrance was very well organized. We hadn't taken a guided tour or an audio guide, but the visit went very smoothly. It's crowded for sure, but you can still wander around easily, and access all the works without difficulty.
Despite the large number of people, the visit was beautiful. A big round of applause to the guys who manage the lines outside at the entrance. Such patience.
In Italy, to my surprise, you have to take your prepurchased tickets whether on Iphone or printed out, to a third party to get a ticket with a barcode. But once you deal with that slight inconvenience you ate able to enjoy The Academia for as long as you like. The David is worth dealing with the crowds, no question. But the rest of the museum is well worth staying for and not very crowded.
We bought the tickets online, we avoided the queues, the lady at the ticket office in front of the gallery was very kind, God bless her, she made the experience even more amazing. When you enter, everything is well preserved, the paintings impressive, and the sculptures beautiful, the tour organized.
Great experience all around with Head out. Once we booked the tickets, we were sent very simple instructions of where to go on the day. We met at the meeting point and we were able to skip the crazy long line for people without tickets. We waited about 10 mins for the security check and then we were in! Thanks so much !
Waiting time at the reception is comfortable and air-conditioned. The local guide explains very well (Renata) and solves any doubts.
Our tour of the Accademia museum with Sarah was amazing. Sarah was very knowledgeable & made the experience of seeing the statue of David even more spectacular.
This is truly the best way to experience the Statue of David and the other historical masterpieces of the gallery without the crowds. We arrived 15 minutes early to our meetup spot, quickly received directions from surrounding employees, and got in with little to no wait. Our group of 5 was able to get through security and begin viewing art within 10 minutes of arrival with no hassle whatsoever. Once in the gallery, it was busy but still very easy to get around and view each art piece in detail due to the smaller crowds. I would recommend this experience for large travel groups or anyone with concerns about timing or crowds!
This was an excellent experience to book. The added info and knowledge I gained from having Marie as our guide was above and beyond. I highly recommend this tour.
I liked that we met our guide near the gallery vs some obscure address we're unaware of. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared many tidbits with our group. Although the gallery was full of other groups, we were still able to get close to the art for a wonderful viewing. We'd highly recommend and will always use head out for future tours.
We recently participated in a guided tour of the Uffizi and Accademia Galleries. Our tour guide, Alex had a wealth of knowledge to share and she really brought the paintings alive for my two children. I will be recommending this tour to all my friends. Thank you, Alex for fantastic tour of the Uffizi gallery this morning!
While the crowd seemed chaotic when we walked down the street to meet our guide, it was extremely well organized and well run. We had a nice small group with an excellent guide. The tour was nicely done. Not too long, not too short. We could stay as long as we wanted after which was nice. All in all I'm glad we booked this!
Seeing the statue of David in person was amazing. We really loved seeing Michelangelo's unfinished statues as it helped us gain an understanding of his process. A video on gilded wooden panels was really interesting too. A stunningly finely embroidered tapestry was another favourite too. Had issues with both the Headout app & email on the day. I was able to access the app and tickets the night before but at the meeting pint neither the app or 'show tickets' tab in the email would open. Very weird. I had no trouble with any other travel apps on my phone so it wasn't an Internet access issue. Also, I had booked for 9:30am session but the 2 tickets the host gave us were forv8:55-9am & 9-9:15am. Fortunately we stayed as long as we like in the gallery so all ended well.
Our tour guide was awesome! The tour focused on the statues of Michealangelo, and that's what was interesting to me. The museum also has rooms of busts, paintings, and musical instruments!
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.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and helped us to appreciate the art and history related to Florence. We definitely recommend!
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!!
Great guide! Was. Wet thorough and gave a lot of information! Was able to appreciate the art much better with guide than if we went alone.
I booked the tickets and it was easy to get them delivered, I bought the child's ticket quickly and the line was about 15 minutes. Good service
Fantastic guided tour, made the whole experience so very comfortable and easy to what is one of the must see attractions in Florence! Isabella, our guide was lovely.. knowledgeable with a brilliant command over English, really brings the experience to life with all sorts of fun bits of in insight into history..
It was a great experience especially thanks to our guide who told us great stories and history about the art pieces and the gallery.

The tour guide was amazing at explaining all the art pieces!
Our actual guide was wonderful! 5 stars for her! The tour was great and she was very knowledgeable. Everything before the museum tour was a mess though. We met at the business location and instead of telling us that our originial guide was not coming, the employees said nothing to us at all, but left everyone waiting for 25 minutes while they tried to figure things out. I say they, but I mean the one woman working tried to do everything and the man that was there wandered around the shop trying to upsell people on other tours. Even when a couple of guests expressed the worry about how late is was getting because they had other tours scheduled after this, the employees did not explain that our original guide had cancelled and they were trying to figure things out. They just said it'll be a few more minutes and moved on. Finally, a person who we thought was our guide arrived and we were all given headphones and radios and we started walking to the museum. The guide said absolutely nothing on the walk. When someone pointed out that we couldn't hear her in the headphones (just assuming she was talking like most guides do), that's when she finallly explained she was not talking because she was not our guide and was just helping out taking us to the location because our guide had cancelled. It was another mess outside the museum as we met up with another group who needed headsets and then all 40 people got mixed up, then we got in line and there was confusion because there were 21 people in our group and only 20 were allowed and we all waited around a little more. Finally at 10:30 (we originally met at 9:40), we entered the museum. One group had a tour of the duomo at 11:00, so they were allowed to go in the museum withouot the group, run up to the David and see it, and then leave so they could make their next appointment. I very much hope they got all of their money back. Anyway, based on this experience I would prefer to book future tours with Viator or Trip Advisor.
Very smooth check in at the meeting point. The walk to the academia was about 5 mins away and the guide handed out our tickets and headsets before we entered. The queue wasn't too long and the guide showed us a few things before we got to David. The guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic which made our visit so much more interesting. The headsets were temperamental though so it's best to stay within ear shot of the guide.
We paid for a guided tour. Due to traffic we were 20 minutes late and we were not able to join the tour or have a later one, so that was disappointing.
Clear ongoing communication. Embedded links for directions to the venue. Smooth entry into the venue. Excellent guide who paced information well and provided a good review of that historical period and the history of the sculpture of David. I also like that it was a short guided tour.
Antonio was a brilliant guide who took us back in time. His knowledge was extensive and he had an engaging manner. Having the guided tour made the visit to the Galleria an in-depth experience.
Breathtaking, a moving experience to just stand and admire the beauty of a talented human creation with an ethereal energy emitting from David's veined arms and hands.
Everything with this tour moved along very well. The speed of going through the lines was great and our tour guide was very good. She gave us some very good history on the tour. I only problem we had with this was that the radio cut in and out while in the museum and we caught another groups channel for a moment due to the number of people around.
Rosa did an amazing job - she is clearly passionate about the tour, and that passion spreads to her audience. She really made the experience fully worth it.
It was easy to find the person to coordinate the guide and admission. The entrance to the museum itself was very easy and fast. Everything was very well coordinated.
Our guide was Oksana and she was very knowledgeable and comprehensive about the artwork we viewed. She did a great job of explaining things. She also gave us plenty of time to contemplate the artwork and we loved her information about David. We thought that this tour was worth our time and money. Would recommend again (and already provided a link to a couple who toured there three days after us).
We were in awe to see in front of our eyes what we see in books. It was the first Sunday of the month and the entrance was free. Grateful for their honesty and refund of my payment.
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.
The museum was great, it was awesome to see so many important pieces of art together. Our guide was very informative and helpful. Thank you
We booked a small group tour that turned into a private experience for our family of four. Our guide was outstanding, highlighting key works of art, the musical instruments, and offering fascinating insights into Michelangelo’s David.
The guide was informative, involved and very understanding of our group make-up catering to things that our children would be interested in.
Giovanna was an amazing guide!! She had so much knowledge about Michelangelo's work and life, and she made our tour really fun!
The lovely gal that was our tour guide was very knowledgeable. Also it was not to long. Perfect timing. Spoke great English.
The guide provided key information about the artist, including some interesting side notes that tied into the unfinished works. The information wasn't overwhelming, but rather augmented the experience.
Our guide had a lot of details about the tour, presented it all in a interesting and informative way. Very pleasant, and was careful to make sure everyone could hear. Very pleased with the whole experience.

It was very easy to locate the group and they were very kind. Unfortunately I selected with audio guide and it was not easy, the next one will be with a guide in Spanish, but the service is excellent and recommendable.
Great host and great tour, we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Rachella did a great job giving us an overview of Michelangelo's life and works and with a great energy!
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about David and the museum. She was able to show us around the museum whilst allowing the time to absorb the pieces and history . Only a small group. Highly recommende this tour.
Our guide was terrific. Her knowledge and enthusiasm made everything feel like we got to know Michelangelo a little better!
The guide - Mary - was nice but the headsets continually crackled and the ticket exchange experience was odd - a bloke running across a street to get another ticket and minors (not mine) of aged about 7 were asked for photo id which was problematic and delayed things - but hardly a surprise ! Mary's knowledge good - bit instruments were a bit boring when everyone comes to see the renaissance art and David
The tour guide was amazing! The process was sp quick that we booked a tour and within half an hour they were prepared for us.
The tour guides was excellent and her passion for the art made it such a worthwhile experience. The communication regarding the meeting place for the tour was poor and made for a stressful start.
The experience was good. We liked Thomas our tour guide. He gave lots of information and went to the most famous art pieces for us. We had to wait for another person who was late wish we could have started on time. For the money it was reasonable but I found other people later got it cheaper.
Our guide, Claudio, was a native Florentine art-history legend. His tour was informative and had factual depth appropriate to our group. It lasted about 60-70 minutes.
Our guide Galya was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the museum and what in contained. Highlight was obviously David. Absolutely amazing.
This was an okay tour-we didn't feel like there was much of a flow to the tour and we waited 20 minutes in the line even though it was a "skip the line" tour. Overall it was okay, but I don't think it was much better than just getting a skip the line ticket and going with out a tour.
Very inspiring guided tour with Giovannia, who presented Michelangelo's work and other elements of this magnificent gallery in a very interesting and entertaining way.
The guide was very knowledgeable and share a bunch of interesting points with us throughout the tour. The waiting under the sun was not that great, specially we paid for "skip the line" but fortunately was not too long
Very easy instructions via WhatsApp where to meet. Amazing guide Ana who is Fine Arta educated with incredible knowledge and a passion for art and history who made the tour experience engaging and educational. I would not visit without a guide.
Loved the guide's peek into the history of the accademia and the pieces it houses. Obviously the David was magnificant, but I really loved getting to see the other pieces and her story that came along with it.
Tour was very efficient w quick entry and thoughtful tour. Our tour guide, Galya, was fabulous and I would highly recommend her!!!
Follow a local expert as you skip lines to Accademia and explore its famous sculptures, including Michelangelo’s David.

My favourite museum in the whole world!!! Prettiest of arts and statues from the classics of renaissance and Medici years! Love every moment inside this building as I love the mythic city of Florence.
Exhibition is marvelous with a lot of fabulous pictures and sculptures of famous artists. One of the best galleries that I have visited.
Headout was so easy to use! I was worried that because I didn't have a QR code before entering that the ticket wouldn't be accepted but don't worry!

A little trouble initially finding door 3, as the directions in hedour app were a tad confusing, but once we found it, and had out tickets, everything else was very smooth and clear. The museum itself was fab
Everything went very smoothly and we didn't have to wait in line. The entrance was very well organized. We hadn't taken a guided tour or an audio guide, but the visit went very smoothly. It's crowded for sure, but you can still wander around easily, and access all the works without difficulty.

I would recommend this experience for large travel groups or anyone with concerns about timing or crowds!
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.
This was our 3rd visit to Uffizi and our best. We went in the earliest time slot so it wasn't too busy. 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!
Early booking useful, for physical ticket collection
Its a spectacular view everywhere you look.
Fast, reliable and well organized.⭐️
Avoid queues. Visit with audio guide
A great collection and without a long queue!
Botticelli !!! Beautiful works studied for years and see up close!
David of course, I always dreamed to see Michelangelos workarts and it worth it
In the premise that you are very kind Everything went well 😊 Fast flowing Audio guidance very good
The statue of David is absolutely breathtaking. The rest of the art didn't interest me but I'm not huge into that time period of painting. There was a pretty interesting small section about old musical instruments that was cool. Getting tickets ahead of time made it easy to get in as well.
The app did not work, poor coverage at museum which prevented me from showing my ticket. Finally uninstalled and reinstalled while my phone was empty. It worked and afterwards I could have run cheaper ticket at spend point 3.
Minimal queue to enter, in the middle of the chaos formed at the entrance by the attendees, having a ticket and the management of the guides saved us, excellent exhibition, sldos.
Easy to buy tickets. Simple to use. Museum is great. Love the history and artists. We will come again because two hours is not enough if you like to read and explore.
The guy at the entrance was very kind, since we had a ticket for 12:00 and 1:00, so he offered us to enter at 12:30 to be together.
We came to the meeting point late by almost an hour due to wrong instruction given to us by the museum folks. Finally, we met the tour guide, he was extreamly professional, he went above and beyond of his call of duty, had to extend our entry time, reissued the ticket allowing us to access the museum. He made our sole purpose of Florence trip a memorable one and a success. I thank hi.m.

It was very easy to locate the group and they were very kind. Unfortunately I selected with audio guide and it was not easy, the next one will be with a guide in Spanish, but the service is excellent and recommendable.
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.
Great host and great tour, we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Rachella did a great job giving us an overview of Michelangelo's life and works and with a great energy!
I love to learn history of a place as rich with culture as Firenze, and the knowledge of art we viewed was phenomenal
Well structured and focused on main artists & paintings. Thanks to our great guide Mirella
Meet up location was easy to find. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and the tour was well thought out to give you a story and context to appreciate the famous paintings of the museum and the time period. I learned a lot and really appreciated the four ninja turtles more.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about David and the museum. She was able to show us around the museum whilst allowing the time to absorb the pieces and history . Only a small group. Highly recommende this tour.
The guide Laura was really knowledgable and created a narrative that weaved the pieces together in a coherent way which offered an overview of the evolution of the art in the Renaissance period. I was not bored for a second. Laura also managed to navigate around crowded rooms with ease. Well worth it.
The competent, exciting guided tour in excellent German, alongside this incredibly rich city. I can only recommend it. Very, very good!
Our guide was terrific. Her knowledge and enthusiasm made everything feel like we got to know Michelangelo a little better!
The guide - Mary - was nice but the headsets continually crackled and the ticket exchange experience was odd - a bloke running across a street to get another ticket and minors (not mine) of aged about 7 were asked for photo id which was problematic and delayed things - but hardly a surprise ! Mary's knowledge good - bit instruments were a bit boring when everyone comes to see the renaissance art and David
The tour guide was amazing! The process was sp quick that we booked a tour and within half an hour they were prepared for us.
The tour guides was excellent and her passion for the art made it such a worthwhile experience. The communication regarding the meeting place for the tour was poor and made for a stressful start.
The experience was good. We liked Thomas our tour guide. He gave lots of information and went to the most famous art pieces for us. We had to wait for another person who was late wish we could have started on time. For the money it was reasonable but I found other people later got it cheaper.
Two museums, zero waiting. Your guide takes you inside Florence’s most celebrated art spaces to meet Botticelli, Michelangelo, and more.

Waiting time at the reception is comfortable and air-conditioned. The local guide explains very well (Renata) and solves any doubts.
Already being there is memorable. It was raining inside, the best was dripping from the roof ,blocked the staircase formed a long queue for the elevator. It is the Uffizi, it must not drip inside and you have to find quicker solutions, to dry 2 drops. Amazing place as always otherwise. 6 time for me mao disappointed
Seeing the statue of David in person was amazing. We really loved seeing Michelangelo's unfinished statues as it helped us gain an understanding of his process. A video on gilded wooden panels was really interesting too. A stunningly finely embroidered tapestry was another favourite too. Had issues with both the Headout app & email on the day. I was able to access the app and tickets the night before but at the meeting pint neither the app or 'show tickets' tab in the email would open. Very weird. I had no trouble with any other travel apps on my phone so it wasn't an Internet access issue. Also, I had booked for 9:30am session but the 2 tickets the host gave us were forv8:55-9am & 9-9:15am. Fortunately we stayed as long as we like in the gallery so all ended well.
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!!
I booked the tickets and it was easy to get them delivered, I bought the child's ticket quickly and the line was about 15 minutes. Good service
It was a good experience and everything went perfectly we said goodbye to the queue the agency on time they greeted us right away and gave us the tickets thank you
The Statue of David The marble statues
I avoided the long line; we got in within 10 minutes.
Good start with host and thanks to audioguide interesting, entertaining but exhausting 6 hours spent there.
The purchasing system was fast and I was able to avoid a long queue. Everything was ok.
Seeing Michelangelo's David up close was amazing! The skip-the-line ticket is worth it, as it's very crowded and busy
The host was kind and helpful. We really appreciated not having to queue in the sun.
It was an unforgettable experience! The guide took us to the exact spot, avoiding the huge queue! I recommend it!
Thanks a Lot!!! It was Amazing!! Unforgettable journey and wonderful experience!
Admission was very fast, the company's personnel attended us immediately
Very easy to use, easy entry to the museum thanks to an accompanying guide. Beautiful gallery
David of course. All of the other work was just as fantastic!
David sculpture. Mesmerized me.
The statues are beautiful and impressive, especially the famous David!
Beautiful and excellently curated museum.
The awe presented by seeing DAVID is inspiring, and not having to wait in line was very good! Thank you.
The art was outstanding. Seeing everything for the second time with different eyes.
I booked my ticket last minute and the process was so easy!
The directions for meet up was easy to follow, checking in was organized and we were able to enter on time.
I loved it!!!!! It was an unforgettable experience! Wonderful everything !
Skip the lines and skip the stress: your host guarantees smooth entry so you can focus on the Uffizi’s Renaissance treasures and Accademia’s world-famous David.

Simple and easy to book brilliant guide so knowledgeable and friendly helped me understand and appreciate everything so much more, I had a personal guide highly recommended
Our guide Hilary was amazing. We really enjoyed her insights
Our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable. She gave us details and thoughts far beyond what we expected. My sister and I have taken many tours and both of us felt she's one of the best tour guides we've had.
Did not love a lot. Basic. And not educated or passionate or with a sense of curiosity, sadly . Would not recommend.
Our guide was very nice but clearly had no passion for the museum. The presentation was unorganized and rambling. I have been to the Academia before and this experience was quite dull and failed to bring to life the magnificent work of Michaelangelo.
The guide rushed us through. Saw other guides spend explaining different areas our guide did not cover. She may have been sick so did not stay the full 1.5 hours. I would never recommend this tour for the price. WAY TOO EXPENSIVE for the quality. Will never use this service again.
Just you, your guide, and Michelangelo’s masterpieces on a fully customizable private tour—no waiting, no distractions.
