Seeing the statue of David in person was amazing. We really loved seeing Michelangelo's unfinished statues as it helped us gain an understanding of his process. A video on gilded wooden panels was really interesting too. A stunningly finely embroidered tapestry was another favourite too. Had issues with both the Headout app & email on the day. I was able to access the app and tickets the night before but at the meeting pint neither the app or 'show tickets' tab in the email would open. Very weird. I had no trouble with any other travel apps on my phone so it wasn't an Internet access issue. Also, I had booked for 9:30am session but the 2 tickets the host gave us were forv8:55-9am & 9-9:15am. Fortunately we stayed as long as we like in the gallery so all ended well.

The guided tour itself was great and enjoyable, although it was packed in the gallery. The lead up was very confusing though as there were lots of tour guides and people at the meeting point and no one was holding signs saying who they were or which tour was which. We had to approach several people to work out where we were meant to be,then there was a really long wait in the heat for a load more people to turn up, so we were not quite the small group I had hoped for. Then there was another long wait in the so called skip the queue line. However the gallery experience was good despite the crowds and David is an absolutely amazing spectacle and it was great to have the guide explain everything in more detail than we would have learned on our own.

You cannot go to Florence and not see David! The tour guide arranged our entry quickly, bringing us from the meeting point, a short walk from the Accademia, straight into the entrance. The quick entry was worth the price, this visit isn't cheap though!! There are some wonderful pieces here, so take your time to explore, rather than head straight for David. And when you turn into the gallery to see him, perfectly positioned in great natural light, it does take your breath away. Also, walking all around him to get the full effect, you will admire Michelangelo's attention to detail, something I never fully appreciated from photos previously. Thus can be a short visit, but definitely worth it!!

Skip the lines with timed entry to the Accademia Gallery and enjoy a hassle-free visit.

See Michelangelo’s iconic David up close, and explore the Hall of the Colossus and Hall of Models. Wander through galleries filled with Renaissance masterpieces.

Opt for hosted entry for a smooth escort to the entrance, an audio guide for deeper context, or a guided tour to explore gallery’s Renaissance gems with an expert.

Great experience all around with Head out. Once we booked the tickets, we were sent very simple instructions of where to go on the day. We met at the meeting point and we were able to skip the crazy long line for people without tickets. We waited about 10 mins for the security check and then we were in! Thanks so much !

Waiting time at the reception is comfortable and air-conditioned. The local guide explains very well (Renata) and solves any doubts.

Our tour of the Accademia museum with Sarah was amazing. Sarah was very knowledgeable & made the experience of seeing the statue of David even more spectacular.

This is truly the best way to experience the Statue of David and the other historical masterpieces of the gallery without the crowds. We arrived 15 minutes early to our meetup spot, quickly received directions from surrounding employees, and got in with little to no wait. Our group of 5 was able to get through security and begin viewing art within 10 minutes of arrival with no hassle whatsoever. Once in the gallery, it was busy but still very easy to get around and view each art piece in detail due to the smaller crowds. I would recommend this experience for large travel groups or anyone with concerns about timing or crowds!

This was an excellent experience to book. The added info and knowledge I gained from having Marie as our guide was above and beyond. I highly recommend this tour.
