About This Experience

Embark on a captivating journey through Michelangelo's timeless masterpiece, David, and the Accademia Gallery with a top-rated guide. Your intimate group, limited to just six individuals, will have the privilege of being among the first to marvel at this breathtaking collection, away from the bustling crowds of daytime visitors.

Marvel at the awe-inspiring David, sculpted over 500 years ago from a single block of Carrara marble by the young Michelangelo. Hear the fascinating stories behind the statue, its political significance, and insights into Michelangelo's life and artistic process, including his use of handmade tools and the original gold leaf decorations on the base, eroded over centuries of outdoor exposure.

Explore the Accademia's other masterpieces

This enlightening one-hour tour concludes in time for a delightful breakfast and a taste of Florentine cappuccino, allowing you to bid farewell to the awaiting crowds with cheerful waves as you depart the Accademia Gallery.
