David Academia Tour

It was a very pleasant tour. Once we found our guide, it was quite enjoyable. We breezed through security and then our guide showed us all the paintings and told interesting facts. Finally, we made it to David. We walked around it, taking pictures while our guide told us facts about David. Our tour guide was very passionate, and knew a lot about David and History. It’s a great tour, if you want something interesting and short.

Highly recommend, especially for those who need last minute tickets or shorter wait to get in

The experience was as advertised. Everything went very smoothly. Met at the advertised place at the scheduled time, got the tickets and were in the museum in less than 10 minutes (hundreds of people were waiting in long lines).

Great experience

Great tour, our guide Anna was friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. Headsets had good reception (doesn't always happen) and the tour was informative and interesting.

We saved some time and did not have to queue too long.

The queues were long outside but even for our 'skip-the-line' there was a queue. So, although we skipped a line we did not skip all lines.

Operator response

Thank you for your honest feedback! You're absolutely right—during very busy times, even the 'skip-the-line' entrance can have a short wait due to security checks and timed entry controls. We always do our best to minimize the wait, and we appreciate your understanding. We hope you still enjoyed your visit and had a great time exploring the gallery!

Gorgeous tour and amazing lunch experience. Felt like a VIP!

Amazing tour! Giancarlo was so genuine and had vast knowledge that he shared with us. Our bus was first class and we felt very well taken care of. I would highly recommend this tour. I hope you get our guide.

Awesome experience

Our guide was awesome. Learned a lot of information that we would have not learned going by ourselves. Easy to find our tour operator and was on time and friendly.

We had just our 6 people group. It was small enough to move around the museum and listen to our guide. She was funny and told us some interesting facts.
