Wonderful

This is a must-see in Florence. I got 1-2 days in advance, without a guide included, and minimised my waiting time at the queue. There were other people like me who have booked a set time for their visit, so I couldn't go in front of them, but at least I didn't wait as long as those without pre-booked tickets. Michelangelo's David was the main attraction but there were other things to see as well.
Easy alternative

Very good experiance. Our guide was easy to find and our gathering point gave easy access to the museum.
Ripped off and confused

Terrible ! The fact that I need to run around to try to redeem a voucher with people who aren’t there or hidden is ridiculous ! SEND TICKETS INCE THEY ARE PSID FOR ! Not vouchers !
Response from Host , Jul 2022
Dear customer,
we are sorry to read your review. At Destination Europe, we are dedicated to keeping our clients happy. We work in a clear, transparent way. We delivered to you exactly what we promised when you made your booking and what is listed on the website at the time of purchase, that is:
Entrance Ticket and Priority Entrance.
Entry/Admission - Uffizi Gallery
Guaranteed to skip the lines
Exclusions
This is not a Guided Tour and transportation.
We are sure that all this information was listed at the time you made the booking on the website and on the voucher that was emailed to you once the booking was made. If a customer changes his/her mind or realizes that there is a discrepancy after the booking has been and the payment has been processed, our company also provides an easy cancellation policy that allows you to cancel up to 24 hrs prior to the start date of the experience. In this way, customers are in no way "ripped off" since there are no hidden details and there is a possibility to check all the details of the service that is provided ahead of time.
So easy!!!

It was so hot the day we arrived. Getting our tickets was seems less and skipping the line was AWESOME!!! I would not have wanted to stand outside in the sun waiting for entrance!
Picking up the tickets...
Robert_B
, Jun 2022
Picking up the tickets and finding the right line to stand it was very chaotic. Once we were inside it was fine.
Be aware: long wait, only adult tickets
MariadeLurdes_Q
, Jun 2022
There is no office to pick up the tickets from. We waited in line in the hot sun, unsure someone would show up, as there was no answer to the phone number provided. By instructions online, the tickets were to be picked up the latest by 14:15, for a 14:30 visit. The person delivering the tickets showed up at 14:25. He informed us that he only had tickets for adults, even though we bought tickets for the all family online. He also informed us that he would give us our money back, but he would pass out tickets to everyone in the long line and at the end would deal with families with kids. Even though the first 2 families in line had kids, and we were to go buy tickets for the kids, he wanted us to wait to the end? Made no sense. Upon my complaint, he agreed to give us our adult tickets so we could go buy the kids tickets. We started the visit about 20 min late, even though we arrived to pickup our tickets over 1 h before the visit.
Total rip off

, Jun 2022
I paid 120euro for a man to walk me to the ticket booth and buy me tickets that cost 40euro. Then went to stand in line like everyone else. So 80euro extra for a man to stand in line while I waited for him to purchase my tickets for me.

The cost of the tickets you purchased through this website includes not only the cost of the actual tickets but also additional reservation fees, the service, and the guarantee to deliver tickets to you so you could avoid any long waits at the ticket counter at the museum. In fact, one of our representatives was waiting for you outside the museum. This is what our customers value from our ticket service that allows them to save precious vacation time, spending more time sightseeing and less time waiting in long lines. If on a specific day you visited the museum at that specific time, there was no wait or long line at the museum, this is something no one can predict or foresee (the Accademia is the fourth most visited museum of all of Italy, there were 1.6 million last year and numbers continue to grow), this is why so many of our customers prefer to purchase this service to get advance tickets and avoid taking any risk of finding a long line outside the museum. We can not predict the waiting time to enter the museum, this is something out of our control. Our duty was to provide you with the service that you paid for, line or no line. Since we are a reputable company, the cost of our services includes taxes and commission that we must pay. This commission includes a fee that is taken by the Viator website that actually handles the booking and processes your credit card payment. The payment that we received in the end through Viator from your booking was the amount just to cover the cost of the tickets, the reservation fee, taxes, and our expenses for the service. This is how all legitimate tour operators work.
Kind regards,
Justin

Late tickets caused me to wait for a long time
Chad_P

The person who was suppose to meet us at 9:45 to get us the skip the line tickets for 10:00, as stated on our paperwork, he didnt arrive until 10:00 and gave us 10:15 tickets. Which resulted in many people getting in before us and the museum being packed. I was there in time, he was not which resulted in us having to wait a lot longer than needed. I could have just waited in the normal line and saved the money.
Ticket pickup was a dumpster fire
Sara_V
, Jun 2022
We arrived at the meeting point to discover that they were not able to obtain our scheduled timed tickets for 10:00 and were told to come back at 10:20 to pick up tickets for an 11:00 entry. When they gave us our tickets, they were for 2 different entry times. My kids had tickets to enter at 10:30 and the adults had tickets to enter at 11:15. My children are young and obviously could not enter the museum by themselves. The staff of the museum thankfully worked with us and let my children enter at 11:15 instead of 10:30, but it was a huge headache and for a while we thought we might not be able to enter at all. The only reason I’m giving 2 stars instead of 1 is because we did make it into the museum. But between meeting at our original meeting time, waiting for our new meeting time, and sorting out the problems with the tickets, we ended up waiting 1 hour 45 minutes to get in.
Avoid this !

We got ripped off!!
The address to collect tickets is just a street address and no one showed up. We had to repurchase priority tickets again!
Extremely disappointed and will not be recommending this to anyone.
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Dear Vinney,
Sorry for what happened to you. Yes, our meeting point is a street address, and it is the easiest meeting point. because it's just in front of the Accademia Gallery. once our customer collects the tickets straight away they enter the museum. We waited for about 30 minutes but you didn't show up. we always try to serve better.
Thank you.
Walked Right In
Joel_W

It was fairly easy to find the guide because the meeting point was right outside the gallery. Our guide didn’t take long to get the tickets and we definitely skipped a big line of people waiting. Overall a great way to get guaranteed entrance into the gallery.
Never received my tickets.
Jezabel_M
, May 2022
The fact that my guy for one of the events didn’t show up and I didn’t receive my tickets and haven’t gotten my refund yet. I won’t be paying for tickets I didn’t receive. Also tickets were over twice as expensive as the actual museum price. It’s a rip off.
Use a different company
Kamil_W
, May 2022
I am not one to write bad reviews, however I am writing this one to warn future tourists. Do not book with this company, the museum itself is beautiful. However, initially our appointment was at 1000 and the day before we were emailed we had to switch to 1100. We show up at 1030 and several other companies helped us because no one showed up until 1120. There was no contact from the company itself and my emails were not responded to. Again, museum is beautiful, use a different agency.
Nightmare
Josephine_F
, May 2022
If I book a certain time you would think that would be the time I get. I booked 2:30 and when I arrived 15 minutes early what a nightmare. My ticket was for 3:45. I had a reservation for the Medici Chapel at 4 so that was not acceptable. The gentleman worked hard to trade my ticket with another operator and was successful. But that is no way to sell tickets. Wasn't even a priority entrance. Was a ticket holder entrance that I could have purchased online.
Not worth it. Buy direct from the museum. You don't actually skip any lines.
Craig_S
, Apr 2022
This is not what I thought it would be. Basically, there is a person standing in front of the museum with a sign for the company I bought these tickets from. That person then takes you to get in line to get the tickets that you already bought. Also, you better make sure you have your whole group with you if you have kids because they want to confirm they are actually children.
Weird Voucher Redemption
Loretta_M
, Apr 2022
Strangest redemption point of our entire trip. We were told to bring the vouchers to a specific address and there was not a store front, sign or anything. Found another tour operator who directed us to "a guy with a clipboard" standing in the street.
Skipping the line is great anytime.
Easy Peasy
Kelley_M
, Apr 2022
Loved this Museum. Staffers helpful in finding my ticket vendor who waits for you near the entrance to see your voucher and provide your tickets.
Couldn’t get a refund
Genevieve_H
, Apr 2022
My uncle got sick at the last moment and we couldn’t get our money back. I could see if it was an actual tour, but it was just tickets they could sell in real time.
Response from Host , Apr 2022
Dear Genevi,
We are really sorry. we would like to explain to you why we can't make a refund.
As one of the leading tour operators in Florence, we keep our cancellation policy 24 hours before. we make all the arrangements(priority entrance, tickets & other services) for our clients 24 hours before to provide extraordinary service to our clients. we mention everything in the description.
Thank you
David no wait

Look for the signs to pick up your tickets! David is excellent to visit. A must see for everyone at least once
Fun to see the David!
Matthew_W
, Feb 2022
Fun to see the David in real life. Not busy at the time we went. Not a very big museum either.
The only thing was it was somewhat confusing to find the tour operator. But not a huge deal
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
