    Eduardo was a great guide and I learnt new things concerning art history. The tour was quite effective even though the gallery was crowded.
    Not a very enjoyable experience
    Anisleydi_C, Nov 2023
    Our tour guide was Vera. She didn’t do a sound check to make sure all the radios were working and due to the lack of preparation one of the people in our group couldn’t hear because their radio was not working. She has to interrupt the tour and wait for someone to bring another radio. The tour guide was very monotonous. This experience could have definitely been better.
    Great Tour of the Galleria dell’Accademia and the David
    Eliezer_G, Nov 2023
    Very informative tour, not just of the David, but other important works in the Galleria dell’Accademia as well. Elia (I hope I’ve gotten the spelling right) is a knowledgeable, affable guide. Highly recommend.
    Th experience of a lifetime at the Academia.

    Extremely helpful,pleasant and generous lady at the meeting place. Rosa, our guide made our visit a very special experience. She has a comprehensive and extensive knowledge and understanding of Michelangelo. Her wonderful commentaries were illustrated by lively anecdotes and explanations. She communicated her own enthusiasm and profound understanding. I cannot commend Rosa enough.
    The magnificent David
    David_G, Oct 2023
    The David. Magnificent. The anatomical precision and detail is mind boggling. I was shocked by the size of the statue.
    Highly impressed!
    Ana_P, Oct 2023
    Excellent guide!! He was so knowledgeable and friendly, it made the tour super special. This is a must see because The David is without a doubt the most impressive work of art!
    We will be back!
    Dorothy_S, Oct 2023
    Our tour guide was fantastic. She has an incredible amount of knowledge about Florence, the area around the Accadamia Gallery, as well as the other exhibits in the Gallery besides the David. And her understanding of the history of the David and Michelangelo was superb!
    Great tour of Michelangelo's David

    faenza, Oct 2023
    We were short on time but didn’t want to miss the David piece. This was a great option as it gave us a time that fit our schedule and allowed us to skip the long line. The guide was very informative and took everyone’s picture. Pleased with our tour.
    Excellent tour of David

    Our guide was responsive to our request. We had a great experience. She was knowledgeable and kind. It was nice to go right in the museum.
    Awesome tour
    Jessica_G, Aug 2023
    Great tour. We went straight to the front of the line. Super worth it. The company was very responsive.
    Worth the ticket price
    Elizabeth_H, Aug 2023
    Nice way to beat the very long line at the last minute. We still had to wait in a line for about 20 minutes, but I’m sure people without these passes waited for hours. The guide was good: enthusiastic and well educated.
    Great tour and a beautiful statue
    Larry_J, Aug 2023
    Excellent guide. He knew about the other paintings at the Academia and gave a first rate narration about the David statue.
    Great little quick and Informative tour!

    This was a very...
    Jennifer_T, Jul 2023
    This was a very informative tour. My only regret was not paying attention to the closing time. Unfortunately, we did not get to spend much time in the museum once the tour was finished. (not the fault of the tour or tour guide, though)!
