Includes skip-the-line access tickets to the Accademia Gallery. 

Upon receiving your order, our team will secure a guide. Once the venue tickets are released, we will purchase them. Our team will be in touch with alternative options if we cannot secure tickets for the date and time you requested. 
For some months of the year, we're pleased to offer late tour times on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This allows you to enjoy smaller crowds in the Accademia and a more serene experience. 

We are required by the venue to order headsets; you will see a “Headset Fee” added to your order.

Summer Crowds:

During the summer travel period, the Accademia Gallery can see very big crowds, and there is very little air conditioning in the buildings. It’s important to anticipate slower movement, limited visibility, and potential restrictions on accessing certain areas due to the density of crowds. Our experienced guides are adept at navigating through these challenging conditions and will strive to optimize your tour's route, but patience is helpful.

A few things that pair well with this tour: 

We understand that some of our valued guests may have mobility concerns, and we want to ensure you have a comfortable and enjoyable experience throughout your tour. If there are any accessibility concerns that your tour guide will need to be aware of, please let our team know at the time of booking.

Accademia Gallery is wheelchair accessible, has lifts and is equipped with handicap fitted bathrooms. All tour stops are within 6 minutes walking from each other. 

Service dogs are allowed if you have a medical certificate proving the need.  

Yes, you will see the Duomo on this tour and discuss its magnificent exterior and significance. It doesn’t however include a visit inside the cathedral. If you wish to visit inside and learn more about the Duomo, book our Florence with Kate, Cultural Historian or Florence Duomo Tour with Private Terrace Access.

Is the Uffizi Gallery included on this tour?  

It’s not. If you’re interested in the Uffizi Gallery, we highly recommend you book our Uffizi Gallery Tour: A Guided Crash Course with Skip-the-Line Tickets.

What is the difference between Introduction to Florence Tour and Florence Night Tour? 

The tours overlap quite a bit! The main difference is that this tour is led during the day and includes the Accademia Gallery, whereas the Florence Night Tour is exclusively outside.

What are skip-the-line tickets?
For this tour, your tickets are pre-purchased which allows you to skip the ticket office line upon arrival at the museum. Please note that our reservation allows us to avoid the long line for the non-reserved public entrance to the museum. Although we're skipping that line, please keep in mind that there is also a line for the reserved entrance, which can be long but usually moves quickly. Your expert will do their best to navigate the larger summer crowds.

Why do I need to purchase a ticket to Galleria dell’Accademia for my child?  

Although admission is free for those under 18, you would have to wait in a separate line upon arrival to prove your child’s age. We typically purchase tickets for everyone on the tour, so that we may bypass this line, which can be quite long, and have more time in the museum.
