Uffizi and Accademia with a guide

About three hours with an authorised guide: first the Uffizi with Botticelli and Leonardo, then the Accademia Gallery with Michelangelo's David. This is the formula for those who want both galleries in the same visit, with tickets already included in the price and a small group.

Uffizi and Accademia with a Guide

The experience

The meeting point is at Via dei Castellani 14. It starts at the Uffizi, with a timed entry and an authorised guide who recounts the Renaissance among Botticelli, Leonardo, Caravaggio, Giotto and Michelangelo. Then you walk to the Accademia Gallery: Michelangelo's David, the Hall of the Prisoners with the unfinished sculptures intended for Pope Julius II, the gold-ground paintings and the museum of musical instruments. Throughout the visit you have a radio with headsets.

The duration is about 3 hours for two galleries: the pace is tight and the guide cannot show you everything. The official ticket allows only one entry, so anyone who wants to return to the rooms after the tour cannot re-enter. Groups are up to 15 people. Before paying, you need the first name, last name and date of birth of each participant, and on arrival everyone shows a valid ID; the listing also accepts a copy.

The price starts from $162 per person (GetYourGuide, October 2026). It includes the guide, Accademia tickets, the timed Uffizi ticket (the listing indicates €29), radios and booking fees. The official Uffizi ticket costs €25 on the day and €29 in advance on tickets.uffizi.it: details are in the guide to Uffizi and Accademia on the same day. Hotel pickup, transfers, food and tips are not included.

What travellers say

★★★★★

We did the Uffizi and Accademia tour and both our guides were very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. Both places were incredible, especially seeing the David statue in person was exciting.

Francesca was fantastic! The galleries were splendid and we really enjoyed listening to the history and many small curiosities that we would never have known otherwise.

Cassandra · Sep 2026 · originally in English
★★★★★

Anna was very knowledgeable and engaging. There was a lot of ground to cover and a lot of history to tell between the two galleries, but Anna kept a relaxed pace and provided targeted and concise information.

Sarah · Sep 2026 · originally in English
★★★★★

The tour was very interesting and the guide was exceptional. One tip: wear comfortable sneakers, because the tour is long and a bit tiring.

Tips before booking

  • Have the first name, last name and date of birth of everyone to hand: the listing asks for them before payment.
  • Bring a valid ID for each participant, including children; the listing also accepts a copy.
  • Comfortable shoes: you walk quite a bit between the two galleries, as one review also says.
  • Leave the large backpack at home: at the Uffizi, bulky bags and backpacks must go to the cloakroom, which is free, and you cannot eat or drink in the rooms.
  • If you want to see more works at the Uffizi, note that the ticket allows only one entry: no re-entry after the tour.
