Florence: Accademia Gallery & Statue of David with Uffizi Options

Meet your expert guide 15 minutes early at the designated meeting point just outside the Accademia Gallery. The exact meeting point is listed on your booking voucher.

With timed-entry tickets in hand, head through security and into the Accademia. Tune in as your guide shares fascinating stories about Michelangelo's David and the unfinished Prisoners. You'll get the full story behind David's symbolism, scale, and place in Florentine identity.

Back outside, stroll over to Florence's most recognizable landmark for an exterior look at the Duomo, Brunelleschi's dome, the bell tower, and the Baptistery. Your guide explains how this complex powered the Renaissance and shaped the city skyline. (Florence Duomo exterior viewing is not included with the Group Express option.)

Continue along Via Calzaiuoli and into Piazza della Signoria, Florence's open-air sculpture gallery and political heart. Your guide points out the Palazzo Vecchio, the Loggia dei Lanzi, and the replica David standing where the original once did. (Piazza della Signoria and the historic center walking tour are not included with the Group Express option.)

Once again, enjoy quick entry with your pre-reserved tickets and step into one of the world's greatest collections of Renaissance art. Your guide walks you through Botticelli's Birth of Venus and Primavera, Raphael's Madonna with the Goldfinch, and Michelangelo's Tondo Doni. Your tour ends inside the gallery, so you can stay and explore at your own pace. (Uffizi Gallery is not included with the Group Express option.)
