Great tour! - The Accademia is a very different type of museum so it was nice to go with a guide who could explain things to us. We enjoyed Vanessa and her stories and of course, the David. Grazie mille!

This was a nice tour. It... - This was a nice tour. It lasted right at an hour and was very informative. The group was much smaller than other groups we saw making it easier to stay together and to ask questions if needed.

Learning was fun at the Uffizi and Accademia! - We had a private tour of Uffizi and Accademia. Greta was wonderful…very knowledgeable with art works and very accommodating with our young kids who were 12, 10, 7 year olds. She gave us tidbits about each artist that you wouldn’t get from just touring by yourself. Highly recommend her for the tour!

Great Last-Minute Tour with Insightful Guide - I’m not an artsy person, but the English tour with Lorenzo was absolutely amazing! He gave such insightful explanations of the artworks, helping me appreciate them so much more. I came away with a better understanding of the artists’ minds and even learned more about the city itself. Do expect a bit of unavoidable waiting at the start due to the large crowds, but it’s totally worth it. I also booked this less than 12 hours before the tour—perfect for last-minute plans. Highly, highly recommend!

Great tour but wish it was a bit longer - We really joined this informative tour with our guide. The guide provided a nice mix of stories that put the museum and art in context of the time and also pointed out interesting aspects of the art. I wish it was a bit longer since it was very interesting.

Great tour. - We did have a short wait because of a medical situation, but nothing like those people who had to wait in the real line. A once in a lifetime experience.

The David is Awesome - Perfect length of time to see the main attraction without walking all over town. We only had a short window and I’m so glad we decided to book this at the last minute!

Awful and dreadful - Buyer beware: it is EXTREMELY unclear where to check in for this tour. We arrived 20 minutes early for check in. We asked several tour guides where to go, and they herded us onto a line, despite paying for a “skip the line” tour. Then, once we got the front of the line, we were told we never should have been in that line. At that point, we were 6 minutes late for our tour. When we were finally shown where to go (after going to about 6 different storefronts), we were told our tour guide left and we were considered “no shows”. When we called Viator, we were simply told there was nothing they could do for us. And, tickets were sold out for the day and we were leaving Florence. We were devastated. The Viator agent on the phone was completely unhelpful, as was the third party tour company Viator contracts with. You book with Viator, but you get some other outfit running the tour. To say we were disappointed and frustrated is an understatement. The building where they want you to check in is a small minimart. There is absolutely no signage notating that it is affiliated with a tour company. And, no where in my documents or tickets was the name of the minimart listed. If I could give this a zero, I would. I am supposedly getting a refund from Viator. I’ll believe it when I see it…unlike the David, which I missed seeing.
