DAVID Skip the queue on GetYourGuide code NEFEAST5
Great experience! We booked skip the queue access via GetYourGuide and it was the best decision. We were in within 5 minutes, while the queue went all the way around the corner and would have been around a 1.5-hour wait.
The Galleria dell'Accademia isn’t very big, but it holds so much inside the amazing David statue, plus other beautiful sculptures and stunning paintings.
Use NEFEAST5 for 5% off your GetYourGuide booking! Works for any number of people and any other bookings on the platform note: the code works once per email address, so use a different email for separate bookings.

Totally worth it
Our tour guide was super knowledgeable and she made the tour concise. We didn’t feel like she skipped anything though. Perfect if you want to skip the line to see the David and the Duomo when it is nearly empty. We skipped the bell tower because we were so tired, but we did use our ticket to go into the baptistery and museum. Loved our tour guide!
