Ticket or guide

A timed ticket or a guide: what changes

The two tickets give you the gallery with a phone in your hand. The $32 listing names a reserved entrance ticket to the Accademia Gallery plus an audio app. The $6 listing centres on a multilingual Audio App created by art historians, with admission in some of its options; its duration shows as 1 day.

The three guided tours put a person beside you. $49 buys one hour in the Accademia with a pre-reserved ticket. $99 adds the Duomo complex, and $147 adds the Uffizi with an art historian. The guided Uffizi options on their own are on the Uffizi Gallery page.

Worth it?

Is a guide worth it for the David?

The guided hour costs $49, $17 more than the $32 timed entry. For that you get a person and a pre-reserved ticket instead of an app. Its rating is 4.7 on 4,737 reviews against 4.5 on 21,697 for the ticket.

The $99 tour costs $50 more than the guided hour and adds the Duomo complex in 2 to 2.5 hours. The $147 walk is a Florence walking tour with David and the Uffizi both, and its 4.8 rating sits on 247 reviews.

If the statue is all you came for, the numbers favour a ticket: the timed entry has the most reviews on this site. To see every price band, all 75 tours are on the main page.

Want the cathedral after the David? The guided Duomo tour with the 463-step Dome climb is $111.
