Accademia Gallery Tour
Description
Admire the outstanding Accademia Gallery and walk along its rooms, with a passionate certificated local guide. The gallery’s fame sweeps through the world also because of MICHELANGELO and the museum its-self is a sort of mausoleum dedicated to the painter, sculptor and architect consecrated by generations of art historians and writers. Walking through this old friary hospital of San Matthew, discover the genius and his creations: from the PRIGIONI or SLAVES (Incomplete) sculptures of the difficulty of the artist in carving out the figure and emblematic masterpiece of the struggle of man to free the spirit from matter to the his iconic masterpiece, the gigantic biblical hero, DAVID. Complete your tour with the wonderful RATTO DELLE SABINE by Giambologna and your guide talking about paintings and sculptures in the Gipsoteca (the hall of models)

Your guide was very informative, thorough and just right. It was great not to have stand in long line
If all you want to do is see David, try to buy tickets to the museum and skip the tour. If you want an art history lesson, then enjoy the museum with a guide. It all depends on how much time you have in Florence. Meeting our guide was easy and we skipped the long lines. Our guide was knowledgeable and helpful.
