Galleria Accademia - We visited the Accademia Gallery today, and it was an unforgettable experience. Our guide, Anna, an art historian, brought the museum to life with her passion and insight. Seeing Michelangelo’s iconic David was a privilege, but seeing it through Anna’s eyes made it truly special. She encouraged us to view art as an artist would—tracing the veins on the sculpture, noticing subtle details like tension or relaxation in the body, and interpreting clues that reveal whether the moment captured was before or after battle. The entire museum visit was deeply enriching. If you have the chance, go. Let the art speak to you—even if you’re a complete novice. You’ll walk away more aware, more curious, and moved by the power of creativity.

Great guide, great big David - Great guide and great tour. Informative and engaging. Also loved the skip-the-line access as it was a hot day to stand outside with the crowds. Our guide gave us helpful information, and helped clear a great photo op for our family next to David. Would recommend.

Only book this private tour if you want to know all about David and the genius Michelangelo! - This private tour with Stephano was chalked full of information. For one hour, Stephano was able to give us information about several statues in the Accademia before leading us to the David statue. To see David in person was mesmerizing, but I never would have appreciated the craftsmanship without all of the information Stephano shared with us. I can honestly say I appreciate Michelangelo and his artistic ability so much more after learning about David and some of his other work.

Fantastic tour and guide! - GREAT tour! This tour was just the right length and focused on Michelangelo and the statue of David. Our guide was very personable and incredibly knowledgeable, and shared his knowledge with wit and enthusiasm. It was so fascinating - we learned so much about the artist and the sculpture itself. We also got to explore the rest of the museum at our own pace. Highly recommend this tour and this guide!

Scam - It’s a total scam, they took our money and never showed up at the location and now won’t issue a refund. We provided photo evidence we were there and waiting and called, texted and messaged the guide on Viator without response. Do not use this service.

Shame on you - A real and absolute disappointment and sorrow but also an incomprehensible dullness of the escort for what should have been a private visit of my daughter and inna her American acquaintance to the Academy
