This is a 75-minute guided tour of the Accademia Gallery in Florence with an official guide, exploring Michelangelo's David and other masterpieces with a reserved entry ticket. Bypass the general admission lines, which can take 2 to 3 hours during peak season. Radios and headsets are provided to all participants, ensuring you can hear the guide's commentary clearly even in crowded exhibition rooms.

Meet the "THINGS TO DO IN" staff in front of Via Ricasoli 41, then walk to the Accademia Gallery with your licensed guide. A reserved entry ticket is included, so you enter directly without joining the regular ticket line. Receive a radio and headset and visit for about 70 minutes while listening to the guide's commentary.

The centerpiece of the tour is David, which Michelangelo carved from a single block of marble between 1501 and 1504. The statue, more than 5 m tall, originally stood in Piazza della Signoria and was moved to this museum in 1873 for preservation. Your guide shares the stories behind the work and the historical background of Renaissance Florence.

In the corridor leading to David stand Michelangelo's unfinished "Prisoners" (Slaves) series, made for the tomb of Pope Julius II, where the figures seem to emerge from the stone. Together with your guide, you also see other important works in the museum and hear interesting facts about them.

The tour ends inside the Accademia Gallery. The museum exit is at Via Ricasoli 58/60.
