-
The Galleria dell'Accademia di Firenze, or "Gallery of the Academy of Florence", is an art museum in Florence, Italy and is best known as the home of Michelangelo's sculpture David. It also has other sculptures by Michelangelo and a large collection of paintings by Florentine artists, mostly from the period 1300-1600, the Trecento to the Late Renaissance.
It is smaller and more specialized than the Uffizi, the main art museum in Florence. It adjoins the Accademia di Belle Arti or academy of fine arts of Florence, but despite the name has no other connection with it.

We ended up with a private tour. Our guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the David and all the other pieces in the museum. She answered all of our questions.

Pamela is an excellent tour guide and whisked us around the Accademia. She is so knowledgeable. We could have used a reminder with exact meeting instructions as that was a bit unclear and caused a scramble.

My grandparents and I enjoyed this guided tour which hit the Michelangelo highlights (including, of course, David!) It was informative and interesting. Our guide, Francesco, was engaging and so kind. The guided tour definitely helped us appreciate the highlights, then we went on to explore the rest of the museum on our own after. It was the perfect balance, and the skip the line entry was nice as well.

Pam was an amazing guide. We appreciated that she made the tour efficient and interesting. We all felt like we left having learned new things that we would actually remember - versus absorbing so much information that it would be hard to fully appreciate it, as is easy to do inside a museum with such a profound body of work! We also liked that it was a set time with the guide and we could explore on our own afterward. Thank you!

The artwork and history is fantastic. Even without a guide, there are English descriptions on most of the placards.
Our guide did well, but admittedly hadn’t been in the gallery for many years. It seemed a little haphazard. We helped another couple link up with the guide, as the meeting location was very specific but random. An address was given, but was just a doorway without a sign or business to reference. We had to ask a few strangers if they were our guide, before ours actually appeared.

Fantastic. Our guide Pam was so knowledgeable. We were booked for a 1 hour tour but she spent more time with us than that. We didn’t use the ear phones so there were time where I had to lean in to hear her but that was ok. Highly recommend this tour.
