Fabulous private tour of Accademia!

Marguerite_G, Sep 2025

I booked a private tour with Viator to see the Accademia Gallery. I am an artist and arts educator and have visited the Gallery before but wanted to skip the line and see it again. I was running on 3 hours of sleep having just arrived in Florence but my guide Alex was excellent! She not only found me outside (when i did not meet in correct place) but toured me through the museum with excitement, knowledge, enthusiasm and expertise! I have been to many art lectures, so my bar is high in terms of evaluating docents but I was thoroughly captivated (on little sleep to boot!) Highly recommend Alex and Viator tours!!

Alex was excellent. She was very thorough and gave details about history of Florence as it relates to the sculptures in the Accademia Gallery. The David statue was absolutely beautiful.

Michaelangelo's David - A Magnificent Experience

Gabrielle_D, Jul 2024

Francesca was wonderful and so knowledgeable - seeing Michaelangelo's David is a truly awe-inspiring experience.

Perfect to skip the line and head straight to the point.

Maria_Q, Jul 2024

Great tour made short, straight to the point but also very informative! A little complicated to meet with the guide but once that was fixed, everything ran smooth.

Brilliant collection. The David is a must-see. Our guide was a wonderful storyteller, really pointed out some interesting details we wouldn't have otherwise noticed.
