Traveler Tips

Small museum 1-2 hrs to visit, but definitely worth going to.
Yes, there is still a 5 to 15 minute line to get through the metal detector, but it is much shorter than the normal line.
We learned a lot and felt the additional cost was worth it to avoid sitting in line for a few hours and allowed us to do more things in Florence!

Great experience to see Michaelangelo David
Stephanie_F, Sep 2023
This was a great experience. Purchasing these tickets in advance is super helpful and necessary to avoid the long lines especially in the heat. Once you get inside magnifico!

Tim_S, Sep 2023
It was self guided which was our choice, but it so nice not to have to stand in a long line. Had a great time.

It’s an expensive Resale of entry tickets
Astrid_T, Sep 2023
You’re paying overprice for an entry that should be half the price. This is resale of an entry that is 17 euros. The galleria is impressive. It’s a must. You’re just paying more than should.

Thank you for your review.
Absolutely Stunning
Lera_O, Sep 2023
It was easy - though a little alarming - to pick up these tickets from the tour operator. I went to the address that was provided and sure enough, there was a man with a little flag who had my tickets ready. I was kind of taken aback by how informal the exchange seemed, but the tickets were valid, he walked us to the correct line, and we went in. The Accademia is well worth a visit. We enjoyed the icons and the other sculptures, but of course, the David is the highlight by some way. I could have stared at that statue for hours. It really is incredibly impressive and captivating. The museum was absolutely packed but the David is truly a must-see. The experience of seeing it in person will stay with me for a long time.

Disappointed
DannyKenneth_L, Sep 2023
Very disappointed, waited over an hour, no guide showed up at the designated area / which we confirmed multiple time's with other guides & ticket office across from main entry. Had a skip the line, after I was able to get passes, a total of 1/1/2 extra hours were added to my Accademia Gallery viewing time.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Dear Charles, We are really sad to read your review. we are one of the leading reputed companies in Florence, Italy. we serve hundreds of clients every day. 99% of our clients are happy with our service. Our staff waited for you for more than 45 minutes. We clearly mentioned the meeting point in the voucher. all the customers have to collect their entrance ticket at the meeting point 15 minutes before.
Nice guide but waaaaay...
Deborah_A, Sep 2023
Nice guide but waaaaay too much repetitive talking. We covered 3 paintings in 35 minutes and much of the talk was repetitive. She didn’t need to drag out the basic concepts she was covering. Simple messages with too many words. We could see one art work in 5 minutes max then move on. Wouldn’t recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
hank you for letting us know about your experience. your feedback helps us get better. we are looking into this issue and hope to resolve it promptly and accurately.
Saw David!
LINDA_B, Sep 2023
Went to see David. Saw David but couldn’t get close - so many people! Seemed unorganized regarding entry and priority tickets etc. Had to stand outside in the blazing hot sun for about 10 minutes after our entry time window of 15 mins had past. No shade, no canopy no protection from weather etc
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Dear Linda, let us thank you for having booked one of our tours and shared your experience with us and our common readers. We are so glad to see that you enjoyed our Walking Tour of Florence. We hope to have the chance to welcome you again in Florence and Tuscany! Our Best Regards
Great art, but third party money makers
Jennifer_H, Sep 2023
The statue of David was amazing, but just wish gallery had availability as absolute no added value buying through third party, so annoying

Brian_W, Sep 2023
Very poor guidance as to where to go for our "priority passes". Found a gentleman on the street who after an hour later helped us

Amazing experience
tom_g, Sep 2023
Seeing David sculpture and the music room were the highlights for me. I was blown away by the incredible talents of the artists that were exhibited in the academia

The way to go
ToniY_G, Sep 2023
Didn’t have a guide or audio guide but skip the line is the way to go. We went straight in despite the fact that the queue was huge. If you’re limited for time, skip the line.
Response from Host, Sep 2023

Isort of nteresting but not amazed
tom_w, Sep 2023
Ticket guy was late, then gave tickets for earlier entry. Added worry to a situation that should not have. Museum was a littke boring. David statue was unbelievable

Accademia Gallery Florence
Sonia_K, Sep 2023
Got in with the tickets which is great. Weird thing happened though. One of the men who lay paintings on the ground in hopes you stand on them found an unused ticket for 10:15 am slot(our reservation was 11) and gave it to the guy handing the tickets out. He then gave it to us to use to get in. Just thought that was a little sketchy. Very busy gallery with many tour groups. Good to go and see the Statue of David though.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Thank you so much for your kind words. we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. we are glad that you enjoyed our service in Florence. We strongly hope to have you again.
Organized - easy to get in, and once inside the museum is incredible. Don't forget to go upstairs!
Margarette_R, Sep 2023
I love to read the stories that accompany the art. who commissioned the piece and why. And the little hints like where to find the signatures. To see the different styles of art that go with different times was interesting as well.

Don’t go
Charles_F, Aug 2023
Couldn’t get my tickets, door locked. No one answered. Spent value time and wasted money. Should have used a different company
