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).
All guests must pass through the mandatory security inspection. Although you will be able to skip the ticketing queues, the short lines you might encounter at the security check are unavoidable.
Once inside, you'll likely dive right into the showstopper — 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.
Next, you’ll walk through one of the most fascinating corners of the museum — The Hall of the Prisoners. Here, unfinished statues by Michelangelo seem to emerge from the marble like they're fighting to be free.
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.
The Hall of Prisoners is named after the four nude sculptures of ‘slaves’ – Atlas, Bearded Slave, Young Slave, and Awakening Slave. The museum hall is also home to paintings by other artists like Pontormo, Fra’ Bartolomeo, Michele di Ridolfo del Ghirlandaio, and Andrea del Sarto.
If you're booking combo guided tours to visit both the Accademia and Uffizi Galleries in Florence, here are some things to keep in mind:
