Enjoy a private tour to visit the most important and famous museum in Venice, the Accademia Galleries. Inside, you'll see the extraordinary collection of Venetian paintings created between the 14th and 18th centuries by great masters who made the history of European painting. You can admire works belonging to the Byzantine art, to the Gothic period, until you meet the Renaissance artists such as Bellini, Giorgione, Tintoretto and Carpaccio and the 1600 "landscape artists" such as Longhi, Canaletto, Guardi.

The Galleries of the Accademia also host the "Vitruvian Man", the famous pencil drawing made by Leonardo da Vinci at the end of the 15th century. Because of its inestimable value, the work is exhibited only on rare occasions.

At the end of the tour, you'll have the chance to walk, with your guide, around the "artistic" Dorsoduro district "Sestiere Dorsoduro". There, you'll see the most representative spots such as Campo Santa Margherita, Fondamenta Zattere and Campo San Barnaba.

    If you ever have the opportunity, doing a museum tour with a knowledgable docent is the way to go. They bring the art to life. Beatrice gave us an unforgettable tour of the Academia. THANK YOU, Beatrice!

    Gauda was excellent in introducing us to a significant portion of the collection. Would highly recommend. Was greeted at designated time and did cover historical development of the collection.

  • Great overview!

    Our guide was lovely and gave a great overview of the city and Venetian art. She was early, stayed a bit late to finish, and was great with our young daughter. Our only small complaint is we sometimes exhausted her knowledge of certain technical points, but I imagine this wound not be an issue for most - she was quite knowledgeable.

    It was very rewarding to have a private guide to the Accademia in Venice! Our guide put everything in context for us so it was not so overwhelming. She also took us on a wonderful walking tour of the area and pointed out interesting sites such as the Dario Palace "the house that kills". Google it for info. Quite spooky!
