Florence Accademia, David & Duomo Terraces Semi-Private Tour

Experience an exclusive VIP Combo Tour of two of Florence’s most iconic landmarks—without the crowds. Start your day with a semi-private tour of Michelangelo’s David at the Accademia Gallery, followed by a unique visit to the Duomo’s rooftop terraces, where your group will have the entire space to yourselves.

Your expert guide will meet you outside the Accademia at 8 a.m. for an early, crowd-free viewing of David. You will be among the first visitors of the day to enter the gallery and marvel at Michelangelo’s masterpiece in nearly empty halls. Enjoy an intimate, 360-degree view of this towering figure as your guide shares the fascinating story of Michelangelo’s dedication, crafting David from a single block of marble when he was just 26, working tirelessly day and night.

Alongside the majestic figure of David, you’ll see other masterpieces, including Michelangelo’s unfinished marble torsos, Giambologna’s The Abduction of a Sabine Woman, and the golden altarpiece Coronation of the Virgin by Jacopo. After your time in the gallery, it’s just a short 10-minute stroll to the nearby Duomo, the cathedral at the architectural and spiritual heart of Florence.

With priority access, you’ll head straight up to the Duomo’s rooftop terraces. Thanks to our exclusive partnership with the Duomo, your small group will be the only visitors allowed in this space for the whole visit. From the two expansive terraces—each 100 feet high and 230 feet long—you’ll enjoy stunning views over Florence’s famous red-tiled rooftops, Giotto’s Bell Tower, the Baptistry, and Brunelleschi’s remarkable dome, all while admiring the cathedral's intricate and vibrant marble cladding.

The tour concludes with a visit to the Duomo’s gothic interior. Here you can admire Vasari's epic frescoes of the dome and you'll learn all about the history of the city, the people that made and ruled Florence, and the Renaissance way of life.
