Overview
Get the background to this most famous of sculptures in the company of a knowledgeable and English speaking professional guide.
This 90 minute tour focuses on Michelangelo's David, the sculptural masterpiece depicting the biblical hero who defeated the giant Goliath. You will explore the history of this great statue, from its 370 year residence in Piazza della Signoria and its political and social implications at the time, and discover the unique Gallerie dell'Accademia where your guide will share a deep knowledge of Florentine art and history.
Your tour, which is conducted entirely in English, will lead you through Florence as you will walk through the streets to the Accademia while your guide explains the historical and artistic detail of your surroundings. You will be shown around the museum where along with David there are five other original (and unfinished) Michelangelo statues, the four Prisoners and St Matthew, as well as many other works of Florentine art.
At the end of the guided tour you are welcome to stay and look round the gallery on your own.

14th Mar 2022Our tour guide, Claudio, was superb! We had the most interesting, educational, and enjoyable visit. Highly recommend!5 starsWC, United States
21st Oct 2019The tour was wonderful; enlightening and entertaining. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and one of the very best we have had. He was easy to understand, his English was excellent with a wide vocabulary. He was well versed in history, religion, arts and politics. He also was helpful in suggesting other places to see and practical tips for visiting the city. His pride in the city and its history is contagious. KUDOS for a wonderful experience.
