Guidekin's take

A small group capped at nine that pairs David with the Accademia's musical instrument rooms, a Stradivarius among them, led by a certified guide in 1h.

The €59 per person is for the guiding only: museum ticket and reservation fee are paid separately, and every traveller needs ID matching the booking name. Rated 4.73 by 371 travellers.

In our comparison: #6 of 15 in Accademia Gallery & David Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
