The private tour and our guide was excellent and we saw much more than just Michelangelo's David in the Accademia Gallery. However, to make the best of a private tour then it should be combined with the Uffizi Gallery tour in order to make a private tour good value for money. We thought combining both would be daunting but this is the best option in our view.

Your private tour puts you alongside a dedicated guide as you explore the Accademia Gallery, walk through Florence’s historic center, and spend time with Michelangelo’s most famous works.

Getting started

Your tour begins with your private guide, who will accompany you through the experience and shape the visit around your interests. You’ll explore the Accademia Gallery together before continuing with a walk through Florence’s historic center. Your guide will provide context along the way, helping you focus on the works, artists, and stories that interest you most.

What to expect

Accademia Gallery

Your guide will lead you through the museum’s collection, starting with its most famous work, Michelangelo’s David. You’ll also explore other sections of the museum, with your guide adding context to the sculptures, paintings, and objects on display.

Visit the Sala dei Prigioni, home to Michelangelo’s unfinished sculptures of the Prisoners.
