3.Florence Accademia Gallery Tour with Entrance Ticket Included

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 6,148 reviews · 1 hour 15 minutes (approx.) · from $45

Meet your English-speaking guide near Florence’s Accademia Gallery, use reserved entry to bypass the ticket line, then spend about an hour with the museum’s highlights, including Michelangelo’s David, paintings, and musical instruments. Groups are capped at 19. After the guided portion, you can stay inside and explore at your own pace.

“The cost of the tour was almost three times the price of a regular ticket purchased at the box office. It seems there are many third-party tour operators outside the museum, distributing participants among themselves and exchanging entrance tickets. It's unclear whether the guides are officially affiliated with the museum. The guide demonstrated both knowledge and empathy towards the participants.”

“We booked our tour last minute once we decided we wanted to book a tour independently instead of by cruise ship. The tour got us easy access to La Accademia and the value for the ticket plus the guide was incredible (the cut-the-line feature is worth it, alone). The meeting location was super easy to find, and we didn't have to wait long to get inside. Our 90-minute tour was the perfect amount of time to extract what knowledge we could from our tour guide, and then we spent another 30 minutes exploring the rest of the museum independently.”
