This is not standard experience above David , this is the MarioGesu's tour with priority entrance , Mariogesu is a native guide and an actor that bring you inside Michelangelo's code , the creation process, a wonderful life message. His tour is high profile, aimed at couples, families with children and friends, for those who want to know the secret of Michelangelo. If the David is the fulcrum, the surprise will be to discover how the artist "surpasses" the David with his "Prisoners", just a few meters away, created through the "unfinished" style. By choosing this experience, easily understandable to everyone because it is expressed with images and metaphors (therefore easy to understand even for the little ones), you will participate in a unique perspective: the red thread that binds Michelangelo's entire work, the artistic and spiritual reason of the greatest artist of all time. ## Key facts - Price: from €25 per person - Duration: 1h 20m - Rating: 4.91/5 from 1290 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: mariogesu ## What's included - Museum reservation service for skip the line ticket (MUSEUM TICKET COST ARE NOT INCLUDED -24€ EACH) - radios if the group is more than 7 people - under 18 years old the ticket museum cost is 4€ - -So I will provide the museum ticket but to the experience price must be add the ticket cost-24€- ## Not included - MUSEUM TICKET COST: I BUY RESERVED TICKET FOR YOU (24€ PER ADULT, 4€ PER UNDER18, 6€ PER UNDER25 FROM EU) AND YOU REFUND ME AT OUR MEETING ## Itinerary 1. **Galleria dell'Accademia** (1h) - 6 masterpieces by michelangelo, David included ## Schedule - Runs: Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun - Departures: 09:30, 11:30, 16:30 - Schedule last checked: 2026-09-18 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point In front of the the door museum entrance, at the ATM of "libreria evangelica", Via ricasoli 47 ## Good to know - Wheelchair accessible - Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller - Public transportation options are available nearby - Transportation options are wheelchair accessible - All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible - Suitable for all physical fitness levels - We remind you to be available by telephone and email for any last minute communications - Punctuality is recommended with respect for all tour participants - The time scheduled could be modify previous comunication - Beware of booking experiences that are too close: Consider at least 2 hours between One experience and the other One (It s a good way to be not so stressed.
