Description
Accademia is a very small museum and does not allow more than 600 people inside, for this reason the queue can vary from 3 to 5 hours in high season and it is not easy to find tickets .. !! Don’t waste your time in line!!! Michelangelo's David as you've never seen it before. We will go through the life of the great genius of all times. I will have the pleasure of telling you all the secrets that hide behind the genius of Michelangelo and the giant David. Please remember tickets are not included in the price i will buy the tickets in advance for you and you pay me when you get to Florence before we start the tour. One ticket cost 24 euro, i can take only cash. Grazie mille

A good skip the line tour
Claudio was very informative. We learned quite a bit from him! The meeting point is not clear. Maybe some definitive landmarks would help. Also, we had to pay in cash, 48E which seemed a little sus
