1
Your tour begins near the Accademia Gallery
Meet your host a short stroll from the museum in Florence’s compact historic center. Check in, confirm your timed entry, and get a quick briefing on how entry works. -

Walk to the Accademia Gallery entrance
It is only a couple of minutes on foot, and along the way, your host will share helpful tips to ensure you’re ready to explore independently inside. Arrive ready to enter at your allocated ticket time. -
3
Enter the Accademia at your timed slot
Go through the required security screening, then enter at your reserved time with your group. Your host brings everyone in together so there are no mishaps at the door. Once inside, the visit is fully self-guided. -

Explore independently with the audio guide app
Having already installed the audio guide app on your phone, you’re all set to explore at your own pace. Pause when a room pulls you in, and tune into your audio guide for fascinating stories and details about the artwork. It is structured, but never rushed. -

See Michelangelo’s David up close
Head to the Tribune and let the space slow you down the way it was designed to. The audio guide helps you spot details people miss, from the tension in the pose to the light on the marble. Linger here, then drift back through the galleries as you please. -
