Highlights
  • Galleria dell’Accademia - The Accademia Gallery is one of the most exciting museums in the world. Smaller than the Uffizi Gallery, it offers a collection of unique treasures that make a visit a must during your stay in Florence.

This tour was developed with the help of specialists in Art History. As a result, you will be able to see one of the museum’s jewels, that are overlooked by many other agencies: the collection of musical instruments in the Conservatorio Luigi Cherubini.

This section includes an original Stradivarius from 1690 made by Antonio Stradivari for the Great Prince, and the first modern piano, which was invented in Florence.

You will then move on to the museum’s other treasures by Michelangelo, and unveil their secrets in the greatest detail. Afterwards, you will discover the artistic pinnacle of Michelangelo’s magnificent David, the symbol of the city of Florence. We will delight you with the secrets and entertaining anecdotes that only these professional guides know.

As the fast entrance ticket is included, your quick entry is guaranteed which ordinary visitors don’t get. After the guided tour is over you can remain in the museum and continue exploring

A visit to Michelangelo's David absolutely awesome. - Seeing Michelangelo's David with Jana our Guide is a really great experience! By Skipping the line ticket, we quickly enter the museum and have the opportunity to have valuable information about Michelangelo’s David. The visit obviously extends on a larger scale to Italian Renaissance art and more specifically sculpture and music. Thanks to you Jana, you are a passionate and very erudite woman, which makes me resume a visit with you to the Uffizi Gallery. I can’t wait to reunite with a new band and continue the tours of Renaissance masterpieces with you Jana.

David tour - Our tour guide was very knowledgeable with details about not just the statue of David, but all other works of art including the musical instruments. The headsets were very useful and allowed us to hear everything.

Michaelangelos David - Jenna our guide was so knowledgeable gave us so much information about all the art and of course about Michaelangelo and his sculpture David. I also enjoyed learning about all the musical instruments and that some of them are still working. Jenna was very passionate about the tour and it showed.

Great tour of The David - Tour guide Maria was great and very knowledgeable. It was a little difficult to locate her outside of the museum due to so many people. Give yourself extra time to locate tour guide. She gave everyone time to use the restroom before the tour which is great due to low public restrooms.

Four hours is too long. - The guide was terrific. She was easy to understand and very kind but the tour was too long. I should have realized that for 60 year old people, 4 hours without sitting is way, way too long. This was not the guide’s fault but the design of the event Perhaps you could arrange to sit at a cafe with a water stop for the 15 min piece midway as the guide talked about the Duomo?

Bad tour - We had a skip the line small group tour at 11:45am. We arrived at 11:30am our guide called us she was not holding up a sign. We found her and she told us due to weather crowds were high and entry line was backed up at least an hour. She had another tour to get to so she will not be able to stay with us when we get in. She explained some of the museum while we stood in a coffee shop and the rain before entering. We finally got called to go in at 12:45 and she got us in and then 12:50 said she had to go and we were on our own. I paid $133 for a tour that never happened they know the weather and crowds she should not have booked another tour so close after us. I want a refund! Waste of money
