Michelangelo’s David, Accademia & Uffizi Small Group Tour

Amazing. Beautiful things to look at and our guide was fantastic. She know so much and helped us pick up up things we would not have noticed if we did not take the tour.

It always worth it visiting the Museo de Accademia. Marcello was amazing in explaining the little details and curiosities.

I loved getting to see the David and our guide was excellent. The guide was knowledgeable and entertaining.

The art was amazing to see but this tour did not allow enough time. We had a 10:45 entrance but did not get in until 11:30 at Michelangelo’s David then we had to leave at 12:15 to be able to walk the distance to get to the Uffizi Gallery in time for the 12:30 tour. I don’t understand why they gave us such a close tour time.

We booked with The Tour Guy and our guide was the extremely knowledgeable Marco. We got nearly 4 hours of info about the David in the Accademia and paintings in the Uffizi. The tour was packed full of great info and we enjoyed the tour very much. Highly recommended and we thought it was quite reasonable for the amount of time and information we were given. The Accademia and the Uffizi were packed with hundreds of tourists! Thanks for the great tour!!!

Claudia was excellent. So friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone.

First off this is an express tour of both the museums so if you are looking for a longer tour I would not do both in one day. However we had limited time and wanted to visit both so we picked this. Stefano took us to the Accademia wr didn’t wait in line and we got to the most important things. He was knowledgeable and made sure to answer all questions. Annetta took us through the Uffizi and showed us all of the most important paintings in it. She was great and made sure to get us as close as we could without a bunch of crowding. She explained a lot about the paintings from how they created their paints and what to look for in the paintings to show you what time period they were from.

This is a fantastic choice if you don’t want to spend all day in line. Antonella was fantastic, incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating. The Accademia and Uffizi galleries can be overwhelming but this tour gets you to the highlights and the must-see exhibits. Skipping the line is worth every penny, and if you choose, you can remain in the galleries after the tours conclude. Of note, don’t expect the tour to be one continuous operation. You’ll finish the Accademia and be given a meeting time for the Uffizi gallery. Plan to use that time to use the restroom, as there aren’t any available until the END of the Uffizi tour, which will be the second part.

Brilliant tour and Valentina was a wonderful guide with a great knowledge of the subject. I would definitelyrecommend a tour with Valentina again.

Professional and informative presentation and the guides assistance in navigating the logistics of the museum were well worth the price.

You need a very good and knowledgable guide to fully experince the tour and Giovanna did not fail us. She was absolutely great and we learned a lot in that short tour!

Antonella, was an excellent guide and this was the perfect introductory tour to the area, many thanks.

Anto was a wonderful guide! She is so personable and very knowledgable. She gave us a very well rounded experience with factual information and many extra details that are so fascinating!! Highly recommend, I am so glad we got her as a guide! Her pace was excellent too, not too fast not too slow!

Marcello was a great guide - very organized, friendly and knowledgeable. Our only issue was beyond his control; the museum was running behind on their admittance times. We were scheduled to enter at 11a but had to wait until 11:30. Not a huge delay, but we had already booked a tour immediately following at the Uffizi Gallery. Marcello made sure that we all visited the David gallery for 30 min and then recommended we leave at 12:00 in order to make our second tour. It would've been nice to see more of the Accademia, but it just didn't work out. Another reason to return to Florence in the future, I guess!

Big thank you to Marcello who went the extra mile after our delayed entrance to the Acadamia

You want to take this Skip-the line tour as the regular lines were very long. Our timed ticket and guide got us in at the scheduled time. Our guide Angelo was outstanding. He was very informative and extremely entertaining. All in all, a great tour!!

It was easy a great and worthwhile experience. Guides very knowledgeable, easy to find group - made the trip very approachable.

Absolutely brilliant tour of The Accedemia Gallery, Florence, with Marilena as our guide. Would 100% recommend this experience. 🙂

Stefano shed brilliant light on some of the greatest art of the renaissance. His explanation of Michelangelo’s David in particular helped me reach a new and profound understanding of this incomparable work.

Wonderful tour of both the Accademia and Uffizi museums. Both tour guides were passionate and engaging as they provided the history of the art. I would highly recommend. However, it should be known that you will meet the first tour guide at the Accademia. After that tour ends (about 1 hour) you have to make your way to the Uffizi to meet your second tour guide for the Uffizi. It is doable as it is about a 15 minute walk. But it prevents you from spending more time in the Accademia after your guided tour is complete. If you prefer extra time I wouldn’t book the 2 museums under the same tour.

We lived this tour! Our guide Stefano was good. He kept the group interestird and engaged. We learned a lot and enjoyed the experience. Would highly recommend.

Amazing tour! Our guide Angelo was extremely informative - warm and friendly with a great sense of humour! He had just the right mix of factual information blended with insightful and amusing historical events. Highly recommended!! Thank you!

Our guide Stephanie was very knowledgeable. We learned so much about the museum and statue.

I booked the Michelangelo’s David, Accademia & Uffizi Small Group Tour specifically because I wanted to avoid rushing between locations and expected the experience to be a properly coordinated tour covering both attractions. Based on the way the tour was presented, I also understood that it would be a single tour with one guide accompanying us between the two locations. Unfortunately, this was not what was provided. I was shocked to learn at the Accademia check-in that the Uffizi portion had a completely separate guide and that I would be expected to make my own way to the Uffizi. Nowhere in the tour overview or itinerary was it clearly disclosed that these were effectively two separate tours with different guides, nor was it made clear that transportation/walking between the locations was entirely our responsibility. This is a significant omission because it fundamentally changes the nature of what a customer is purchasing. Had this been clearly stated in the listing, I would not have booked this tour. The entire reason I chose a combined small-group tour was to have a coordinated experience without having to rush from one attraction to another or worry about whether I could physically get to the second location in time. The timing was another major issue. Our Accademia tour was scheduled for 1:00 p.m., but we did not actually enter the museum until after 1:20 p.m. The advertised tour was supposed to last one hour. However, we were expected to leave by approximately 2:00 p.m. in order to make the second part of the tour. This meant that, in practice, we could not receive the full one-hour Accademia tour that we had paid for without missing the Uffizi portion. In other words, because of the way the tour was scheduled, we were faced with an impossible choice: either leave the Accademia before receiving the full advertised tour in order to attempt to make the Uffizi tour, or stay for the tour we had paid for and inevitably miss the second portion. This was not something we were made aware of when booking, or even before arriving at the meeting point. The “What’s Included” section also states: “Free time between the two tours (if your tour includes the ‘Accademia & Uffizi Galleries’).” However, what we experienced did not correspond to this description. There was not meaningful free time between two independently scheduled tours because the timing did not allow sufficient time to complete the first tour and physically make our way to the second location. I contacted Viator at approximately 2:00 p.m., while we were only about 20 minutes into the Accademia tour, to explain that the tour was already running beyond the time we were supposed to leave and that, having only entered the museum after 1:20 p.m., it was physically impossible to complete the full one-hour tour and then make it to the Uffizi in time. I requested a partial refund for the Uffizi portion because, at that point, it was clear that we could not realistically attend it. (They said no, since it was my fault i did not leave on time for the second part of the tour). What is particularly concerning is that even our Accademia guide appeared surprised by the scheduling and acknowledged that having the second portion of the tour scheduled so close to the first did not allow enough time to physically get between the two locations. To make matters even clearer, no one else in our group had booked the combined multi-location tour. We therefore had no indication from the group itself that the Uffizi portion involved a different guide or that we would be required to leave the Accademia and make our own way to another location on such a tight schedule. Ultimately, I feel that I was misled about what I was purchasing. The issue is not simply that the tour ran late or that there was an inconvenience. The fundamental problem is that the tour was presented in a way that led me to believe I was booking a coordinated combined tour, when in reality it consisted of separate tours with different guides and a schedule that did not provide enough practical time to complete both as advertised. I booked this particular tour precisely to avoid the stress and rushing involved in coordinating two attractions myself. Instead, I ended up in exactly that situation — and only discovered the limitations and logistical problems after the tour had already begun. Customers should be given clear and accurate information before booking, particularly when the distinction between a single coordinated tour and two separate tours has a direct impact on whether the itinerary is physically achievable. If the listing had clearly stated that there would be two different guides, that we would have to make our own way between locations, and that there was insufficient time to comfortably complete the first tour before the second began, I would not have booked this experience.

Angela was a fantastic guide. She provided insights we never could have had on our own and helped us navigate the very busy museum! Highly recommend the tour with both the guide and skipping the long lines for entry!!

My wife and I had great experience. Both of our guides were very knowledgeable. Our guide for the Ufizzi Galleries, Antonella, was an absolute delight!

Amazing knowledge of the art was shared in a story telling style. So interesting to have specific parts of the paintings explained as well as the history of the artist.

Chiara was an excellent tour guide. She was clear, knowledgeable and interesting. The David was spectacular.

Annetta was great! So easy to understand - her english is better than mine. She was informative about the City sharing a wealth of information the little insights added to our Florence visit

Read description carefully. I thought this included the Uffizi Galleries. It did not. That said, it was a very informative tour of the City's sculptures including the David.

Fun time. Loved the time we spent on the plaza overlooking the city. Our guide was great-he took lots of pictures for us. Price was a little high for what the activity included.

Our guide 'Angelo' was amazing, very knowledgeable and interesting. He brought the whole experience to life. A fantastic visit.

An absolute must. Marilena's passion is second to none and her breakdown of the statues, there meaning and insight was wonderful and actually quite emotional. An absolute must visit.

Valentina was a wonderful guide to the Accademia and Michelangelo’s David - so knowledgeable and entertaining. A great way to see the museum.

You really don't need a tour guide!! The quality of guides ok, but not clear enough...it's just a viator scam to tourists

Valentina gave an excellent tour. Very informative. I would highly recommend booking with her.

We had a wonderful time at the Accademia in Florence. Our guide, Steffi, was knowledgeable and so helpful. We could not have asked for a better guide! We did not want to miss seeing the David!

Giovanna was awesome. She made the Uffizi tour really enjoyable. She took the time to explain the most important works of art, so the time we spent felt well managed.

Wonderful experience and guide. Well worth exploring with an experienced guide

Our guide was knowledgeable and her English was very good. She shared very interesting facts to keep our attention and then we had some time on our own after the tour.

Our guide Angelo is the best ！Very knowledgeable, professional and funny. We enjoyed every minute of the tour. Highly recommend ！

Wonderful tour. Our guide, Oxana, was friendly and deeply knowledgeable about everything we saw. She possesses an innate talent for storytelling. She really made the tour incredibly special and memorable. Cannot recommend this tour highly enough, especially with Oxana as the guide.

The statue was breath taking. so glad I got to see it in person. bucket list item marked off the list! ago to see everything it was perfect!!

Great guides - very knowledgeable and personable.

Annette was so kind, knowledgeable, patient, and informative. I would recommend her tour, very highly, to anyone. Wonderful museum.

Very informative and easy. No lines.

Giovanna was a terrific guide! We enjoyed her stories and her humor. She kept our attention the whole time.

Very nice trip. knowledgable tour guide. Excellent experience.

Stefano was an excellent guide who was very knowledgeable and made our tour a great experience. Our family enjoyed the tour and learned a great deal about Michelangelo, the Medici family and other important people in the history of Florence.
