Overview

    Visit Accademia Gallery, world-renowned for housing the authentic Michelangelo's David statue, probably the most famous statue in the world. Take advantage of the intimacy of a small group tour with a licensed English-speaking guide.

    Your art expert will reveal all the secrets about David, as well as other masterpieces hosted in this museum. Whilst in the gallery, you will also be able to admire Michelangelo's famously unfinished sculptures, Prigioni and San Matteo. The Accademia Gallery also houses many other masterpieces, both paintings, and sculptures, ranging from the Middle Ages through to the Renaissance. You will encounter works by great artists such as Botticelli, Paolo Uccello, Andrea del Sarto, and many more. After your tour, you can choose to either exit the museum or remain inside to continue visiting on your own for as long as you desire.

    Travelers commented that the tour was worthwhile as a method to avoid the longer public queue. The guide was very informative and knowledgable, which added to the whole experience. If you want to see David when it is quieter, look for one of the early entrance options.
