Skip the line, but don’t skip David! - Our guide was wonderful (I don’t recall her name, but she was a graduate of the Accademia). She was knowledgeable, thorough and open to questions. She made the experience sing! Thank you, Ciao Florence!

Galleria dell’Accademia di Firenze - The tour guide was so knowledgeable, you can tell she really enjoyed explaining the history of all the great works of art there. David is a must see if you’re in Florence!

Worthwhile tour - This was an excellent tour! We got to experience the whole museum, which I appreciated, but of course the David was the focus. Mary was an informative and engaging tour guide. Would highly recommend.

Passionate Guide - Vincenzo was passionate about Florence, its history, and its artists (musicians, painters and sculptors). He was engaging and asked a lot of questions hoping for knowledgeable answers and wanting to be asked good questions in return. We somewhat met his expectations.

Amena and didactic although expensive. - It is difficult to locate the office because it does not correspond to the indicated numbering. The guided tour we liked, was enjoyable and didactic. They give you free time at the end to explore the Academy in detail. If you go outside of high season, prior reservations without a queue are not necessary.
