The museum was very busy and disorganized. Glad I scheduled a tour and she took me straight inside, no waiting in the heat.

We are a family of 4, including twin 10 year old girls, from Houston, TX USA. We had a fantastic tour with Saif, who was waiting for us in the square when we arrived. We were visiting Florence during a heatwave, so it was great to get to skip the very long line and walk into the air conditioned museum right away.
This is a small museum, most famous for the David, and we thought that a one hour tour was just right, especially with kids. Saif did a great job of explaining the background, history, and thought process of Michelangelo, and we learned so much more from him than we ever would have on our own. We highly recommend this tour if you want to see and learn about the David. It really is something you should see in person once in your life. Grazie!

We hope to welcome your family back to Florence for another unforgettable experience in the future!

Our guide’s name was “Safe”. He was excellent! Highly recommend this tour!
Knowledgeable about not only David and the Accademie, but helpful with suggestions about Florence.

His passion for Florence, deep knowledge of Michelangelo’s David, and helpful local recommendations are exactly what we strive to provide. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Florence again soon!
Rosa was an incredible guide. Although the Academia Galleria was free the day of our tour, the cost of the tour was well worth it. She is very professional and her knowledge of renaissance art & history is excellent. We learned many “secrets “ about the statue of David. Rosa was punctual and kept in touch with us as we searched for our meeting point.
Highly recommend her!
