Guidekin's take

An Accademia visit with an art historian and timed tickets that you can extend into a combo: add the Uffizi, a walk to Palazzo Vecchio, or the Duomo terraces and dome climb, or take it private.

The base option is €53 per person for David and the Prigioni only; nothing runs on the first Sunday of the month. Rated 4.51 by 402 travellers.

In our comparison: #14 of 15 in Accademia Gallery & David Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
