Tickets to Michelangelo's David are the most sought-after in Florence. Even rarer are evening Accademia tickets that take you inside the museum at night so you can avoid the lines and crowds that mob the building during the day*. This tour combines evening tickets with a local expert guide and small group of only 15 people or fewer to give you an incomparable encounter with one of the most famous works of art in the world.

As the sun starts to set over Florence, you'll meet your expert local guide and small group in front of the Accademia. Skipping any lines with your after-hours Florence Accademia tickets, you'll stroll inside and go straight to the most treasured statue in the city (if not the world).

Standing at the foot of Michelangelo's David, you'll learn the artist's dramatic life story and the improbable history of his most famous statue. With the help of your guide, you won't just see this jaw-dropping work of art, you'll immerse yourself in it and learn why it's one of the most celebrated marbles in history.

You'll also take a look at Michelangelo's unfinished Slaves to learn even more about his life, then explore the other galleries in the museum to see some of the hidden gems in the collection.

Finally, finish your elegant evening with a stroll to the Piazza del Duomo, passing the glorious Florence Duomo and Baptistery on the way.

If you love art and culture but don't love crowds and long lines, this is the perfect VIP experience for you.

*Please note that after-hours access applies to tours taking place on Tuesday and Thursday at 7.30pm local time only. Other tour times will enjoy last entry to the Accademia at a reduced price.
