Uffizi & Accademia Highlights: Skip The Line Combo Guided Tour
Overview
Available languages
3 hours
Mobile ticket
Capture the essence of Florence's artistic heritage and explore the collections of two of the world's most famous galleries.
Elena, one of the expert local guides, says, ‘Taking in so much art in a single day can be draining. With a guide to provide insight and context you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the collections and their place in Renaissance Italy and the wider world.’
At the Uffizi Gallery, your guide will lead you to discover the unmissable masterpieces, including works by Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, Botticelli, Caravaggio, and Titian.
You’ll also enjoy a short break at the rooftop café.
Next, you'll head to the Accademia Gallery. There you'll explore the gallery's seven halls, marvel at paintings, frescoes, and altarpieces in the Hall of the Colossus. The highlight of the tour is the Tribune, where you'll find the Accademia's star statue, Michelangelo's David, created by the artist when he was just 26 years old from a solid piece of marble.

5.00Our tour guide, Camilla, was wonderful! Her knowledge and presentation of the art was superb. Being able to skip the massive lines and see the major works of art was worth the price. The only regret is more time at Academia would have been good and there was still some wait time. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to not spend all day at the museums or waiting in line all day. And if you can, ask for Camilla!

5.00We had to take a cab to get to Florence and there was an accident on the highway so we were scheduled to arrive after the tour started. I contacted Vidor. They reached out to the Tour Guide and they helped us finding the directions and waited for us. we got there at 9:15 and they were very supportive and helpful and they made the whole trip very agreeable in addition Our Tour Guide was very knowledgeable in the history of the art which made the tour fascinating.
Florence Fun!

5.00My partner and I joined Helena and about 16 other people on the Highlights Tour of Accademia and the Uffizi Gallery. She was an incredibly informative and knowledgeable guide who helped us digest some of the art found at in Florence. She gave us context and was quite funny. We had a blast. 10/10!
“Stand in line” is all we did. WAY too crowded!
