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

Great tour of Accademia and David - This was a great tour - our guide Chiara was great. She was funny and told us about Michelangelo and about the art in the gallery in a very accessible way. Our guide noted things about David that we would not have known if we didn’t have a guide.
