Try for an early morning ticket to beat the large crowds! - We were to meet at 8:00 to pick up our tickets for 8:15 entry. Plenty of other groups were nearby getting their tickets and lots of people were getting in the growing line to purchase tickets. We had arrived about 15 minutes early to be sure we found the right spot. Finally at 8:00 on the dot the guy shows up. We did get in at 8:15 and were able to be one of the first in for the day! It’s definitely worth getting up a little early and getting an early ticket to avoid the crowds. We were almost by ourselves for the first 1/2 hour. It was getting pretty crowded by the time we left and lines outside were quite long.

Buy online and get the numbered audio guide. - Directions to meet for tickets wasn’t very clear. We did happen to find the Viator contact person. It didn’t feel like a skip the line experience but I guess we did get in sooner than without it. Seemed over priced comparing the cost of the ticket either way what we paid. A QR code audio guide didn’t line u very well with the rooms like a numbered audio guide would have. The David is an awesome sculpture everyone should see but with how crowded it was the experience left much to be desired. There didn’t seem to be any real limitations on numbers of people let in.

Unprofessional, punctual - Personally we had problems, in advertiser did not show up at the time or communicate before. I do not consider it advisable if you go in low season, because the ticket office are 16€ general and there are no lines to advance
