Private Tour: Skip-the-Line Accademia Gallery and Michelangelo's David Tour

After pickup from your central Florence hotel, depart with your dedicated guide for the Accademia Gallery.

On arrival, bypass the main entrance lines and use your skip-the-line ticket to enjoy fast-track access. Work your way around the highlights of the world-famous collection, whose main drawcard is 'David' by Michelangelo, but which houses many other art treasures.

Admire Michelangelo’s unfinished sculptures, 'Prigioni' and 'San Matteo,' and see art by greats like Botticelli, Uccello, and Andrea del Sarto. Gain insight from your guide, learning about the subjects portrayed and artistry behind each piece.

Take time to view 'David' in the central gallery, admiring its beauty from every perspective. Michelangelo was only in his early 20s when he carved the 17-foot (5.17-meter) statue from a single block of Carrara marble, and it represents the biblical hero, David, who slayed Goliath.

As you admire the sculpture, learn how it was unveiled in 1504 and became a symbol of the civil liberties embodied in the Florentine Republic of the time.

Your tour concludes when you part from your guide and take your leave of the gallery.
