Very good visit in every aspect: The exhibition was like no other I have seen, sublime.... The organization to buy and receive the tickets was perfect. Some more precise indications were missing (place to pick up the tickets, meeting points with more precise directions, etc), but in general it was good. I recommend it with eyes closed.

The host was very kind. The line was fast and the visit was what we expected. This is a very reliable service and I recommend it.

Nice to do at our own pace but not have to queue for that experience! Enjoyed the museum although it took a while to work out the audio guide referred to a sample of exhibits only 😆. Would recommend the museum.

Once I was in the Academia it was lovely. The skip the line tickets at the Uffizi were past the time - ie, seemingly left over from a previous tour. The tour guides appeared a bit disorganized compared with my other tours from other companies on this trip.

Easy to spot the Headout representative outside the Carrefour Express. They gave us a sticker and a barcode to scan, in order to download the app for the audio guide. I thought we were getting a physical guide to take us around the museum but in the end we quite enjoyed listening to the audio on our phones.

World-famous masterpieces

Start your journey into the high art world alongside a host with a convenient skip-the-line hosted ticket to Accademia Gallery. Get an exclusive look at Michelangelo's David and other unfinished sculptures by the paragon artist. Roam the halls of the museum and spot sculptures by Lorenzo Bartolini, Giambologna, and other artists as well. You'll find rare artworks sculpted centuries ago with marble, clay, and plaster.

Travel to the Renaissance past

Dive into the golden age of paintings, and notice brush stories from up close as you admire paintings made from the 13th century to the 19th century by several Old Masters.

  • 13th - early 15th century: Walk into a space sparkling gold from the gold ground paintings - artworks with all or most of the background painted in solid gold.

  • 15th century: Ever wondered what late-gothic paintings look like? Take a look at Lorenzo Monaco's art as you stroll the paintings section at the museum.

  • 16th - 17th century: You'll get a glimpse of this time from the artworks by Andrea del Sarto and Pontormo. Also, take in the beauty of the intricate altarpieces from this era.

  • 19th century: The Gipsoteca houses a collection of paintings created by artists affiliated with the Accademia di Belle Arti.

Dive into the history of music

Collected from dukes and aristocrats from Tuscany, Medici, and Lorraine over the 17th to 19th century, you'll find over 50 rare and antique musical instruments in this section. You'll see the Psaltery - an ancient instrument made entirely of different types of marble. Head to the multimedia stations to feed your curiosity. Listen to the different sounds of these instruments, some of which were popular during the Florentine grand duchy.
