The Florence with Locals Semi-Private Accademia and Uffizi Tour is a unique opportunity to explore two of the most renowned museums in the world, the Accademia Gallery and the Uffizi Gallery, with an expert private guide.

The tour starts near the Accademia Gallery, home to Michelangelo’s famous statue of David. This building was once a convent but was converted by Pietro Leopoldo into a studio and museum space for the Accademia delle Belle Arti (Academy of Fine Arts) students, providing a place to study but also a place to admire the most outstanding artworks of the past. Nowadays, the Accademia is one of the most visited museums in Tuscany and houses the sculpture of Michelangelo’s David at the center of its crown of jewels.

On this tour, you will have the opportunity to see Michelangelo’s David and explore other impressive sites like the Cathedral, its Dome, and Piazza della Signoria. You will walk through beautiful squares in the city’s heart, and your expert private guide will share their knowledge and insights into Florence’s history, art, and culture.

After visiting the Accademia Gallery, you will proceed to the Uffizi Gallery. With exclusive Florence with Locals access, you will bypass the long lines and enter directly into the museum. Your guide will show you masterpieces such as The Birth of Venus, Michelangelo’s Doni Tondo, and many other iconic Renaissance artworks. You will also enjoy magnificent views over the Arno River and the Ponte Vecchio from the Uffizi.

This semi-private tour allows you to immerse yourself in the art and culture of the Renaissance and get the most out of your stay in Florence hassle-free.
