David at the academia Florence, italy

Mary_T, Apr 2024

The skip the line was so great and the commentary of the David was really helpful in understanding how great Micheal Angelo was!

Highly recommend this tour

Charles_S, Apr 2024

Antonia was a wonderful guide! He is knowledgeable and takes pride in sharing the treasures at Accademia. While crowded it was relatively easy to find the office where we met Antonio.

Thomas at Green Tours

William_R, Apr 2024

Thomas at Green Tours was outstanding. He helped us with a special tour because of some confusion with our driver. Can’t say enough about Thomas!

Small group and guide worth it.

DrBarbara_C, Apr 2024

I think you just have to see the real David if you go to Firenze, and the guide was kn formative and also explained a lot of other sculpture in the gallery. She was a Michelangelo specialist and our group small, so I learned a bit and could navigate the crowd to get the best out of the visit.

Informative express tour

kim8mis, Apr 2024

Francesco was very informative and made the tour interesting. A natural born story teller. We were lucky to end up being just 4 of us on the tour so we used that one hour learning all about David and the other works around it.

Small Group Tour Recommended!

Grace_G, Apr 2024

The only way to visit is with a small group like we did. Antonio was incredibly informative and patient as we moved through the crowds to view David and a few other highlights of Accademia. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a stress-free visit to this Gallery.

So much history

Veronica_T, Apr 2024

Sylvia was a very well educated and informed guide. To truly appreciate the works of this gallery a guided tour is a must. Be prepared for large crouds, skip the line is invaluable, especially if you are time poor.

Short, sweet, small group tour.

Jessica_C, Apr 2024

A nice quick tour of the galleria accademia. We booked online the same day as the tour in order to spend less time in lines and to learn from a guide. We had a small group of 4 of us which was good. Our guide was very knowledgeable and this meant none of us really has many questions. The tour really only concentrates on a handful of the pieces in the museum and mainly Michelangelo's sculptures especially David. But at the end of the tour we could stay and wander around the rest of the art.

Great tour

Sally_C, Mar 2024

We loved our tour. Antonio knew exactly which rooms to visit to get the most out of our tour. David is magnificent!

Rafael was phenomenal

Kapil_S, Mar 2024

Awesome tour and gallery. We really enjoyed our tour and Rafael was awesome with our 7 year old son.

Awesome!

Jenny_L, Mar 2024

Engaging and talented guide. We learned so much and had an entertaining tour which was great for teens. We loved it!

Nice tour!

Noelle_C, Mar 2024

Tour guide was lovely and informative even though it’s only an hour. However, even though we had skip the queue tickets, our tour started an hour later due to the large amount of people. Would still recommend but ensure to leave more time.

So much fun!

Joseph_I, Mar 2024

Very fun tour. The host at check in was very accommodating. Guido our guide was absolutely amazing so energetic and informative was absolutely our favorite tour in Florence!

Wonderful guide tour

Zhao_Z, Jan 2024

Our guide is Rossella Caggese, she is very knowledgeable and patient, gave us a detailed introduction and answered our questions, wonderful trip.

Great tour, but we started late

CHRISTOPHER_C, Dec 2023

Very good tour. The tour started late so we didn't get the full experience. We got to the meeting point and nobody from the operator was there. It took 10 minutes for them to get to us (10 minutes after our 10am tour. Tour guide, who was greatxwas also late. We then waited to get in and the 10 am tour dud not start until around 10:15 / 10:20. Thectour guide also had an 11:00 tour. Would have been 5 stars but operator and guide were both late

An Incredible Tour of Great Works

Beverly_L, Dec 2023

The guide was excellent. The works of art were incredible!!! I did not realize just how many great sculptures, paintings, and precious instruments we were going to get to gaze upon.

Fabulous to us.

Cheryl_P, Nov 2023

Our guide was very knowledgeable and really brought to life the Renaissance times. We had a small group which is definitely the way to go. More than 10 people is too much. Having a guide is really the way to appreciate a museum.

We spent a wonderful hour and a half with our terrific guide

Jerry_N, Nov 2023

While we had signed up for a small group tour, we ended up being the only couple there so we had a private tour with Lossanna. Other tour operators might have canceled on us. But they did not! And Lossanna was wonderful... Quite knowledgeable and engaging. We highly recommend her!
