Private tour of the Galleria dell'Accademia and the Galleria degli Uffizi with timed entry, Michelangelo's David, The Birth of Venus and a walk through the historic center
This private tour combines two of Florence's most important museums in a single experience: the Galleria dell'Accademia and the Galleria degli Uffizi. The meeting point is Piazza della Santissima Annunziata, the square of the Spedale degli Innocenti, where the guide introduces the route before heading to the Accademia.
Entry to the Galleria dell'Accademia is with a timed ticket. Inside, the guide explains the history of the gallery and its role in preserving Florence's heritage, and stops in front of Michelangelo's David to tell how it was carved from a single block of marble and what it symbolized for the city.
The route then continues on foot through the historic center, passing the Chiesa di Dante, the Duomo and Palazzo Vecchio, while the guide shares stories about the Medici family and the artistic rivalries of the time.
The visit ends at the Galleria degli Uffizi, where the guide explains the transition from Gothic to Renaissance art and presents works such as Botticelli's The Birth of Venus and Primavera, as well as pieces by Raffaello and Leonardo da Vinci. The guided tour finishes inside the museum, and you can stay to explore on your own. As this is a private tour, the itinerary is adapted to your group's interests.
