Florence: Accademia Gallery and Michelangelo's David Small-Group Guided Tour

Small-Group Tour of the Accademia Gallery

Every year, the Uffizi Gallery sees over 2 million people walk through its doors, with more than 2200 pieces of artwork on display.

That's a lot of people and a lot of art! We want to make your visit as easy as possible by providing you with tickets, small group size flexibility and the services of a local expert! Francesca, one of many local experts available for your visit, said "My job is to help you understand the history behind what you are looking at in the gallery so that you can better appreciate it and spot the connection to the Medici Family, who collected all these pieces of art, to Renaissance Italy and to the rest of the world." Typically, it takes a couple of days to completely explore the Uffizi.

If you are short on time, this tour is a great alternative! The guide will show you the very important masterpieces in the Uffizi including works by famous artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Giotto, Raphael, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Botticelli and Titian.

Francesca says, 'A number of art historians have suggested that The Birth of Venus by Botticelli may have been inspired by the myth of Aphrodite, who is the Greek equivalent of the Roman goddess of love, rather than Venus, who is the Roman goddess of love.' With the expertise of your guide, you will experience Uffizi's artistic essence as they shine a light on the stunning art.
