Fabulous private tour of Accademia!Marguerite_G
I booked a private tour with Viator to see the Accademia Gallery. I am an artist and arts educator and have visited the Gallery before but wanted to skip the line and see it again. I was running on 3 hours of sleep having just arrived in Florence but my guide Alex was excellent! She not only found me outside (when i did not meet in correct place) but toured me through the museum with excitement, knowledge, enthusiasm and expertise! I have been to many art lectures, so my bar is high in terms of evaluating docents but I was thoroughly captivated (on little sleep to boot!)
Highly recommend Alex and Viator tours!!
Alex was excellent. She...Michael_D
Alex was excellent. She was very thorough and gave details about history of Florence as it relates to the sculptures in the Accademia Gallery. The David statue was absolutely beautiful.
Michaelangelo's David - A Magnificent ExperienceGabrielle_D
Francesca was wonderful and so knowledgeable - seeing Michaelangelo's David is a truly awe-inspiring experience.
Perfect to skip the line and head straight to the point. Maria_Q
Great tour made short, straight to the point but also very informative! A little complicated to meet with the guide but once that was fixed, everything ran smooth.

Excellent guide Francesca Ciappi100luciay
We entered without queuing with Francesca Ciappi, a lovely and entertaining guide. Seeing the David is impressive in itself, but it was used much more with the explanations of the guide.
