Yes. Since February 2026, the Galleria dell’Accademia requires under 25 years old visitors to present a valid photo ID or passport at entry that matches the name provided at the time of booking. Please ensure you bring identification with you on the day of the tour. This is a museum policy that applies to all visitors regardless of how the ticket was purchased.
During peak season (April–October), queues at the Accademia without a timed-entry ticket can reach 1–3 hours, particularly on mornings and weekends.

The sommelier selects three Tuscan wines representing different appellations and styles — typically including a Chianti Classico or a Vernaccia di San Gimignano alongside a more structured red such as a Morellino di Scansano or a Rosso di Montalcino. The exact selection varies seasonally to reflect the best available producers. All wines are from small, quality-focused estates rather than large commercial labels.

Booked the Uffizi tour for our anniversary. We went in knowing nothing and came out understanding everything. Worth every euro and then some.

The Val d’Orcia full-day tour felt like a dream. Eight hours of pure Tuscany. Marco’s team is exceptional. This is how travel should feel slow, beautiful, meaningful.
David K.
The Artisans tour was the highlight of our entire trip. Seeing real craftsmen at work in those Oltrarno workshops nothing compares. Highly recommend.

An absolutely extraordinary evening. Our guide knew stories about Florence I’ve never read in any book. The wine tasting at the end was perfect. We’ll be back.
