Itinerary
Enjoy a total immersion in the art of Michelangelo and discover his most celebrated masterpiece, the David, together with other important works such as the Prisoners, Saint Matthew and the Palestrina Pietà. Carved by the young Michelangelo from a single, enormous block of rough marble over the course of three years, the David is an imposing sculpture of extraordinary beauty and one of the greatest icons of the Renaissance. The artist portrayed a magnificent young man at the peak of his physical strength, with an intense expression of courage, determination and inner power. More than a masterpiece of sculpture, the David became a symbol of the strength and independence of the Florentine Republic during one of the most glorious periods in the city’s history. At the end of the guided tour, you may remain inside the museum and continue exploring at your own pace.

Norma did an excellent job as our tour guide! She gave us tons of interesting information that made our experience very enjoyable.
Guide knowledgeable and friendly.
We had an outstanding experience with our tour guide, Alicia, at the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence. Their knowledge of the art, history, and culture was incredible, and they brought every exhibit to life with fascinating stories and details that we would have completely missed on our own. The tour was well-paced, engaging, and informative.
It was a great experience doing the tour with Marta. She was extremely knowledgeable and patient as she explained to us many things about the art and music galleries at the museum. We had a great learning experience and the art is wonderful.
Thank you Marta for sharing your knowledge and passion for Michelangelo and Florence . Seeing David was one of the most things I most looked forward to seeing in Italy and it did not disappoint.
Very knowledgeable and amazing tour
Alicia was an incredible guide. Her knowledge was extensive and her passion for the art was evident. Our check in was seamless and the headsets they used were very high quality with very clear audio to hear the guide.
Excellent tour. Norma knew was so knowledgeable. The tour moved at an excellent pace and left my family admiring the cities rich history.
Our guide Alecia was wonderfully knowledgeable and kind. We loved the tour, the information she shared, and the passion she clearly has for history!
Fantastic guided tour with Alicia who was so knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
Marta was AMAZING! What a wealth of art history and passion for teaching! I can’t say enough about our wonderful experience! From the beginning to the end of our tour, Marta was so engaged and shared fascinating information with us!
Alicia was incredibly helpful, informative, and entertaining throughout our tour of the Accademia Gallery. Beyond the convenience of the skip-the-line admission, the guided tour itself was incredibly helpful in helping us to catch details we may have otherwise missed. I appreciated the attention to background information that Alicia made sure we had on key pieces in the museum. We also especially appreciated her ability to tie in elements from the museum to our later walking tour with her. Overall wonderful experience that would not have been the same without a guided tour. We never felt rushed and got to see everything we were interested in. Thank you again!
Wonderful gallery. Very informative tour.
Highly recommend tour with Chiara. She spoke very clearly and at a god pace. Stay after to look around museum and take it all in. You can look at the statue of David for longer after the tour and enjoy the other works of art.
Great tour with well told stories about amazing art
Greta our guide was just phenomenal. Very knowledgeable and shows how much she loves it.
