Fabulous private tour of Accademia! - I booked a private tour with Viator to see the Accademia Gallery. I am an artist and arts educator and have visited the Gallery before but wanted to skip the line and see it again. I was running on 3 hours of sleep having just arrived in Florence but my guide Alex was excellent! She not only found me outside (when i did not meet in correct place) but toured me through the museum with excitement, knowledge, enthusiasm and expertise! I have been to many art lectures, so my bar is high in terms of evaluating docents but I was thoroughly captivated (on little sleep to boot!) Highly recommend Alex and Viator tours!!

Perfect to skip the line and head straight to the point. - Great tour made short, straight to the point but also very informative! A little complicated to meet with the guide but once that was fixed, everything ran smooth.

Excellent guide Francesca Ciappi - We entered without queuing with Francesca Ciappi, a lovely and entertaining guide. Seeing the David is impressive in itself, but it was used much more with the explanations of the guide.
