★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 19,496 reviews · 1 day · from $33Our pick

Priority timed entry to the Accademia Gallery in Florence to see Michelangelo’s David plus an included digital audio app.

“We really bought this for the timed entry. I hate having to worry about the crowds, how long I’ll have to wait in line, etc and these tickets take care of all that. The last time I was in Florence it was in April so it was a mob scene trying to see the David. We visited in January this year and there were NO lines, no crowds, no rush-it was FABULOUS!!! The audio app worked perfectly and had some interesting and informative info. All in all, the whole day was an unforgettable experience and I would definitely recommend it to anyone!”

“David and academia tour was boring. The guide spit out facts but was very monotone and not entertaining at all. He was quite knowledgeable but not the best at making history fun. On the other hand our tour guide for uffizi made a museum tour holding thousands of paintings one of the funniest and most Interesting museum tours. His storytelling was just so entertsining, and throught provoking. He brought you back to the 1500s and you cam tell he is passionate about what he does. He was simply amazing!”

We could have looked around more but it was so croweded. We got what we paid for, saw David and that was fine.”

“The David is incredible and our guide was so knowledgeable! Unfortunately we didn’t book this tour in time to get to climb the dome of the Duomo, but as a consolation, we were able to climb the bell tower. This is a steep climb that is worth every step. You get to see all of Florence from an amazing vantage point and you get to see the dome from an incredible vantage point, especially if it is a clear day. I highly recommend this tour. It definitely helps to have the Vox system so that you can hear the guide very clearly in your ear, even if you’re not standing…”
