The tour was great, and Lori, our guide was extremely knowledgeable and had a wonderful presentation style. Such an interesting history and Akademia Gallery was superb. The David statue is magnificent and Lori made Michelangelo's story come to life. I was dissapointed that the walking part of the tour was canceled by email a few days before arrival, cutting the tour short by 3/4 hour. The tour gave context to the great work of art.

Skip the lines to see Michelangelo’s David up close at the Accademia Gallery.
