About this tour
A guided hour-long tour through Florence's Accademia Gallery, focused on Michelangelo's sculptural and painted work. Your guide walks you through the gallery's highlights, including the David and the Prisoner series, then leaves you free to wander the remaining galleries at your own pace. Radio systems keep larger groups connected. The tour itself gets you straight in; priority-access tickets are arranged separately.

What to expect
Your guide meets you and takes the group through the gallery's key works, focusing on Michelangelo's approach to the human form and his unfinished pieces. Expect 45–50 minutes of close-looking and explanation, then roughly 10–15 minutes of questions before you're released to explore independently. The gallery is compact but can feel crowded; your guide will position the group strategically to see detail. Afterwards, you have access to all public rooms—paintings, drawings, and sculptures beyond the headline works.
