Easy to get the tickets. Great communication with the guides, we found them easily. Fast entrance, organized, not extremely long but the explanation of David and the history around the sculptures was very useful. Gabriella is a great guide!

The tour is not very economical, but it was very good. Silvia introduced us to the life of MA in a very pleasant way, starting with her childhood, adolescence with the Medici until she became the great genius of the 3 arts (A, E and P). Very complete visit to the Academy
Amazing tour with Michele!

He brought the city’s art and culture to life with fascinating details and stories, helping us appreciate Florence on a whole new level. Highly recommend Michele if you want a tour that’s both educational and inspiring.

It's a big deal, better to see him in person and have the company explain things to you and see the exhibitions live. It is the best company that explains things in detail. 100% recommended. And then he asks you questions about Michelangelo and David.
Must book tour!!
