exhibits the largest number of sculptures by Michelangelo including David. There is also the Museum of Musical Instruments, where some historical instruments are exhibited.
Small museum which houses the David. Marta was excellent. There were long lines to get in and while this was not skip the line, we entered very quickly at our scheduled time. She took time to take us through the smaller rooms and explained so much about the various exhibitions and paintings. She had a wealth of information about the David. Great tour and guide.
Best "1-hour museum tour" we've ever had. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about one of the great masters, Michelangelo. The tour focused on the masterpiece 'David' and we learned a lot! But we were given much more during the tour. Our guide showed us other pieces, including a brief tour of the instrument room. To see multiple instruments by Stradivarius, and then Michelangelo, is difficult to exress in words. Bottom line, thisbtour was very much worth it!
Was able to skip the line and the guide was very knowledgeable about the Accademia. We were able to see all the museum and enjoyed the tour.
Our guide, Rossana provided an excellent balance of history, context and heart. Her passion for art and history shone through in such a way that I learned as much as I enjoyed.
Our guide was amazing! She was funny, knowledgeable and passionate - we could not have had a better guide.
Rossana was an amazing guide, she was super knowledgeable, personable, and made the museum visit even more special. It’s a beautiful exhibit!
Veronica was an excellent guide. So enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the historical and anecdotal information she shared.
Our tour ended up being private which was amazing. Our guide was very informative and answered all questions we had and then some. I would completely recommend the tour
Stephania was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. Loved her. She took her time and gave us a great tour.
We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide Ivan. He was incredibly knowledgeable about all of the art at the Accademia and of course had lots to share about Michelangelo and the David statue. He had a great sense of humor and we enjoyed every minute. Being able to skip the line was fantastic too. Thank you Ivan!
We had a very enjoyable and enlightening visit to the Accademia because of our wonderful guide Ivan! Ivan was charming and his knowledge of the artwork and the David was insightful and helped to bring the pieces to life. Mahalo Nui Loa Ivan for hosting us during our visit and providing 5-star service!!
Once again skip the line is a must. Felt bad for the people waiting in line in the hot hot sun. I had anticipated head sets but our guide said that since there were only four in our group they weren’t necessary. I think they would have helped because she kept lowering her voice so she wouldn’t disturb others.
Ivan was a great tour guide who knew everything about the artwork, statues and historical items on display. A personal guide through the Accademia Gallery was exactly what we were looking for. Ivan knew how to get the most out of the skip the line entrance which made the best use of our time. His detailed knowledge made the tour interesting as we could see the stories the artists were telling. A highly recommended tour.
Fiola was awesome! She made the museum fun and took us to sections we would not have seen on our own. She also recommended other places to visit in Florence that are not as well known. Great tour guide!
Francesca was fantastic and the tour was great. We had a nice time and learned a lot about the history of Florence. Totally worth the cost to experience this grand site in such a manor. Bravo.
We first couldn’t find where we should be but we were messaged and found our guide, Ivan. He got us in with no waiting (aside from the metal detector which was <5 min) and then showed us various parts of the museum including the David. Ivan was funny, knowledgable, and it was a great experience.
Our tour guide Viola was THE BEST!!! Total pro. So knowledgeable and fun! Great museum. Saved time. Great guide. V
Giacomo was an excellent guide. He gave us the historical context. The David is incredible but to have the historical and cultural background presented so intelligently, was illuminating. Would highly recommend!
It was great having our own private tour guide. It was very informative and saw amazing artwork and statues including the most famous statue “David”.
Leonardo was knowledgeable, engaging and made the experience very enjoyable! His knowledge of Florence and its history made this a first class tour
Ottima esperienza, la nostra guida Ivano molto competente e simpatica, oltre a descriverci le opere più importanti presenti al piano terra, tra cui ovviamente il David di Michelangelo, ci ha fornito molti annedotti e anche gli elementi per poter visitare a fine tour, a nostro piacimento, il primo piano della Galleria. Esperienza super consigliata, soprattutto se si ha poco tempo a disposizione, ci ha permesso di saltare code lunghissime, di essere accompagnati da una guida ufficiale e di apprezzare appieno le bellissime opere presenti (tra cui anche una imperdibile collezione di strumenti musicali).
