Wonderful
Petronela_R
, Jul 2022
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.

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
Anthony_S

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.

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 and are in no way trying to "rip off" clients as you write. 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 - Galleria dell'Accademia 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. 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 Show less

Late tickets caused me to wait for a long time
Chad_P
, Jun 2022
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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
