Way to see David if you are short on time

Laura_K, Oct 2025

Very efficient was to see David if you only have limited time. Very informative and easy access. Time to walk around on your own after as well

David is the bomb!

Patty_G, May 2024

I did not catch the name of our guide, but she was very very good and informative. We learned so much about the history of all of the artwork which made us appreciate it so much more.

David and Accademia tour

RITA_A, May 2024

Excellent tour. Guide was very knowledgeable and I had a private tour since it was later in the day. Fast tracked to see David but also learned about other artwork. Highly recommend!

Good guide. Good experience.

Craig_C, Apr 2024

Our guide was excellent. She was very very good and knowledgeable. We enjoyed it very much. We enjoyed our time here.

Is it possible to make seeing "David" any better? YES!

KIMBERLY_M, Apr 2024

Seeing "David" was amazing, but the addition of contextual information provided by our guide made the experience much more memorable.

Incredible Museum - It's Not Just David

Mark_N, Jan 2024

I didn't know what to make of this trip to see a marble carving - a famous one - but we see marble carvings everywhere. Yet this turned out to be a real highlight. It is unimaginable - the perfection in the carving, the scale and the importance. This is another stop where we would say that a guide is essential - there is too much story here about everything to try to appreciate on your own. Amazing experience - and it gets very busy, so the tour lets you skip that insane line. Highly recommended.

Fantastic!

Gina_P, May 2023

Camilla was our guide, she was amazing! She was very knowledgeable about the artifacts. We loved how she explained the process of making a marble carving. She gave us much more information than what we read prior to our arrival at the museum.we highly recommend this tour!
