Florence: Guided Accademia with Art Expert & Combo Options

Discover Florence's artistic soul on a guided tour of the Accademia Gallery — home to Michelangelo's David and masterpieces by Botticelli, Giambologna, and more. Led by an expert art historian, this experience brings the Renaissance to life with fascinating insights and stories behind each work.

Meet your guide at the Accademia Ticket Office, Via Ricasoli 58/60, skip the lines, and step directly into one of the world's most celebrated museums. Your small group ensures a personal experience while your guide leads you through the Hall of the Colossus, the Musical Instruments Museum, and the Hall of the Prisoners, culminating in the breathtaking sight of Michelangelo's David.

Carved from a single block of Carrara marble when Michelangelo was just in his twenties, David has become the ultimate symbol of Renaissance beauty, strength, and Florentine pride.

After your guided visit, you can enhance your experience by choosing one of our COMBO TOURS, each adding a second guided activity in another iconic location in Florence. All options share the same first meeting point at the Accademia Gallery Ticket Office (Via Ricasoli 58/60), followed by a second independent meeting point, depending on your chosen tour.
