Accademia Gallery Skip-the-Line with Florence Walking Tour

We had an amazing experience with City Wonders and our English speaking tour guide, Annette. She was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, sharing fascinating details about the history, art, and culture of the city. Her passion for the subject was evident, and she made the entire experience both educational and enjoyable. The highlight was, of course, seeing Michelangelo’s David. Annette brought the statue to life by explaining its artistic significance, the story behind its creation, and even pointing out details we would have missed on our own. Her expertise truly added depth to the experience. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city—it’s a must-do for art and history lovers! Thank you for making our visit unforgettable!

Be careful Headout double billed me for the tour and refused to refund the second billing, better to wait to come to Italy and just book the tour directly

Knowledgeable guide. However it was not clear that we would only spend 30 mins at Academia. Balance 1 HR was walking city tour. Would help if title of tour and itinerary clearly mention this.

We waited in the rain in a HUGE line for an hour to enter the venue. Absolutely NOT what we paid for as Skip the Line tickets.

We liked the story telling of the tour guide. Lots of interesting things about the city and its wonders that we otherwise wouldn't have realized.

The art displayed at the museum was Amazing. The sculptures and statue collection was spectacular. Everything was beautiful in this museum including "David" My favorite.

The guide was awesome! Very funny, very clear and good with faces. The tour was fun and the ending at the statue of David was a very good decision! Thanks :)

She was a nice person and tried her best to guide us... But her Spanish makes you loose interest because many times she doesn't find the correct words and uses lots of "muletillas" or words that are not in spanish.

Even though the guide was knowledgeable, it was hard understanding him because of his accent. Also, it would be easier to understand the guide if you gave us DUAL headphones. Single headphones don't work.

Stephano was an excellent guide who was clearly passionate about the city of Florence and its fascinating history. We learnt so much about both the city, but also about the history of Michaelangelo's David. Highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in art history, architecture or the history of one of Italy's most beautiful cities!

We love our guide Ciara, she is very informative and provided all the history behind Florence and the areas we were visiting. However there was a lady in glasses who was very rude to this man and his little son who's booking didn't come through to your firm. Instead of being apologetic and helping them, she was rude and aggressive to them. She kept raising her voice to them. I pitied the little boy

Definitely the accademy museum is the best of this tour also the guide guy, he made a big effort to explain a lot about the history of Florence

Francesca is a very friendly guide with a lot of knowledge of the city, the buildings and their history. The city was to crowdy to enjoy it fully. But Francesca showed us the best highlights in a 3 hour tour.

I have been on many guided tours around multiple cities but my guide was amazing this time. He was so knowledgeable, nice and genuinely excited to showcase the city and it's amazing art. I learnt so much from him. These things can be borning sometimes even if you love history but my guide made it enjoyable and shared information in such a relatable way that I could not help but be engaged for the full tour. I got to hear the history behind what seemed to be just a normal sign and had I done a walling tour alone I surely would have missed out on its beauty and understanding. Would highly recommend 👌

The Academia and the David never fails to impress The issues was that the City Centre tour was very slow with a lot of time standing around listening to the guides personal views. There is so much to see in Florence so we left the tour at the Duomo.

The tour was excellent. Great guide! He shared a wide range of information and was very pleasant with the group.

Barbera was a darling! So much useful information, very patient and kind. Gave everyone the opportunity to ask questions if they wanted. Super Galleria tour, fabulous City Walking tour, not too long! We learned so much! Thank you, Firenze!

A good sample of the exhibits, at the Accademia tour were explained, without being overwhelming in content or boring. The guide was friendly, enthusiastic and spoke well in English.

Meri is an exceptional guide, she dedicated the necessary time and explained everything in a pleasant and interesting way. Bravo for Meri!

Guide was excellent and knowledgeable, great to skip the queue at Academia
