One of the must-sees in Florence is the Accademia Gallery! Here you will admire Michelangelo's original David, one of the most famous art works in the world. This is only one of his masterpieces on display, others including the Palestrina Pietà, Saint Matthew and the four unfinished Prisoners. During this guided tour we will pay attention to other fine items at the Accademia Gallery as well. There are old musical instruments, and among them is part of a set of bowed string instruments by Stradivarius. There are fine gesso model collection, with works by Lorenzo Bartolini and Luigi Pampaloni, both XIX century sculptors. Here you can find one of the finest collection of painting in Florence: medieval altarpieces with gold backgrounds and fine works of the Renaissance and Mannerist periods.

        Irina's experience and knowledge made for a wonderful experience
        My wife and I recently went to Florence for the first time to visit our daughter during her semester abroad. We spent a day and half with Irina visiting Accademia, Ufizzi, the Duomo, Central Market and local patisseries. Irina was a phenomenal guide. She was very patient and helpful while we planned our itinerary before leaving for the trip. Once there, she met us punctually each morning and was a wealth of knowledge. We especially appreciated the "little things" she would point out that we otherwise would have missed. She was clearly passionate about all the treasures in this beautiful city. There's just so much to see in Florence - having an experienced guide like Irina helped us make the most of our short time there.

        Rope drop this place
        This place is, unsurprisingly, most famous for David. It's worth getting there early because you can see David when he's not surrounded by hundreds of people. We went at 8:30 and by 10 the museum was crowded. Besides David, the museum has amazing pieces of art by Lippi , Bartolini, and Michelangelo, among others.

        An excellent place to visit
        To see the real David was the obvious highlight of this visit, but the whole experience was worth the wait in line - a definite must see, when in Florence

        TERRIFIC TOUR!
        Irina was a terrific guide and really conveyed her passion and interest in the fabulous images she showed us but also had an extensive knowledge of the history and culture and the stories around the masterpieces that helped make them more accessible. She was hugely energetic.; our tour lasted 3 hours but never felt too long. There was as much energy and interest in the final room infant of the moving Rembrandt as when we first approached the gallery - itself the resplendent Vasari masterpiece. Irina managed the different interests and focus for each of us, Irina made connections between the artists and their patrons, the gallery and its place in Florentine history. It was as any visit to this wonderful gallery should be a highlight of our tour and we will treasure the memory. Thank you.

        We had a great tour
        We had a great private walking tour with Irina - she picked us up at our hotel and we saw everything we wanted. It is clear she is passionate and knowledgeable and wanted us to have best experience possible. We loved it 😀
