Guidekin's take

Three ways to see David: an express guided hour at the Accademia with admission included, or tiers that add a walk past Piazza della Signoria and Ponte Vecchio or a guided Uffizi visit, from €37 per person.

Full names must match your ID or entry is refused, and the meeting point changes with the tier. Rated 4.54 by 1,781 travellers.

In our comparison: #15 of 15 in Accademia Gallery & David Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
