Accademia Gallery of Florence was once part of the academy of the fine arts. It was founded in 1784 by the grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo whom collected a great amount original and replicated art works.
Accademia gallery was chosen to be the new home of Michelangelo’s David due to the fact that the Accademia happen to be located in the same square where the young Michelangelo studied sculpting as a child. In 1873 the town of Florence relocated David which was no longer safe in its original location of Signoria Square.
Our expert guide will bring each master piece come back to life with inside stories of one of the world’s greatest artist.

The statue of David has no words. Our guide described the history of the statue which we would have never known on our own.

The day before we left for Italy they canceled our tour saying they were unable to secure tickets. When we booked, they confirmed and sent us tickets which I added to my Apple wallet. Not sure how they sent tickets they didn’t have. They did not respond to any communications I sent to them. It was too late to secure another tour. I would not recommend them as their confirmation is unreliable.

Had a skip the line guided tour for Academia. Tour started in time and we did in fact skip all the lines. Our tour guide Vera was so personable and in depth. She really knew the history of a lot of pieces in the museum. She provided very detailed explanation of the statue of David and pointed out many significant parts of the statue. We were impressed with her knowledge and she kept a nice pace. She was easy to understand. Recommend this tour!!!

Very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. Answered questions, very polite. Highly recommend! The only hiccup was we booked a private tour (7 adults) and it ended up being around 14-15 people. But it was still great!
