Florence Accademia Gallery Tour with Entrance Ticket Included

5.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.”

“The guide was top! We expected an hour tour however the lines were long and this time was not calculated into the overall length of the tour. Two people had to leave early. This should be made clear in the description. If the weather had been hot it would have been hard on many. The guide was the best!”
