Florenz Accademia Gallery Eintrittskarte

We were able to see the David with minimal people around! We recommend taking the earliest timeslot with this experience, the price is a little more than a regular ticket but we skipped the line of people that were waiting all around the side of the Accademia (already at 8:25AM)!

Tickets for the Florence Academia Gallery were sold out online for the next morning, and we were due to leave Florence mid-morning, so we checked Viator and this reseller had tickets available (at a markup, obviously, but it wasn’t unreasonable) so we bought two, collected them the next morning from the agent immediately outside the museum entrance, joined the 8:15am queue, passed thru security, and got to see Michelangelo’s statue of David, plus many other statues, paintings, and other exhibits that we would otherwise have missed. Well worth paying the premium to the ticket face value.

Bought these tickets 10 minutes before arriving and it was as promised. Tickets to enter, our guide walked us to the front of the line - once in, we had full access to the museum.

Go early, crowds are insane and book online. I'm amazed Michaelangelo was able to turn a huge lump of stone ( Marble) into such a smooth wonder.

My experience with Viator was poor. Accademia Gallery itself was great and is the reason for any stars. Booking on Viator was fine. We had 3 tickets for 10.30am. But when we went to the meeting spot to collect the paper ticket from the Viator agent (we got there 1 min early and most definitely not late), was told “oh you’ll want to go at 11.15pm, it’s much better, I’ll give you a 11.15pm ticket”. Ah no thanks , we have plans and booked for 10.30am so can we please keep our original booking. “Don’t worry don’t worry. 11.15pm is better”. I got the definite impression that they’d run out of 10.30am tickers are we were “so lucky” to be offered a later slot and what, hang around the streets in the heat for 45 mins for the pleasure? We put our foot down and ended up being given physical tickets - two for 10.30am (original slot) and one for 11.15pm ( not what we’d booked) , then told to wait in the 10.30am queue , all of us (they didn’t have enough 10.30am tickets for us all??). Then the AG staff said , if you’re a group with different entry times, you’ll enter at the latest time - so we’d all 3 still be let in at only 11.15pm. Sigh - call over the Viator agent, lots of passive aggressive “look lady, I told you to wait in the queue, don’t worry, it’ll be fine”. In my mind, once I get to the front of the 10.30am queue, if the AG person has their policy on group entry, that’ll trump what Viator agent floating around the streets has told me. Lots of stress but we got it sorted in the end. Also “skip the line” doesn’t mean “skip the line”. It means you’ll join a queue of 50-100 people who have the same ticket and have to wait. It took us about 30 mins to get to the front of the line , maybe faster than general unticketed entry, but still a wait, FYI. Next time - I wouldn’t book with Viator, I’d be better planned and book direct with AG before their tickets sell out

Not really a skip the line ticket. Met the agent who did not have tickets for our book time slot, but did have tickets for 15 minutes later. The tickets only gave you access to the queue for that time slot, so still had to queue for over 20 minutes.

This is a good way to get tickets for an excursion you missed buying direct. Our guide was right where he was supposed to be and there were no issues. He was pleasant. We paid about 3x the price of the ticket.

This experience was amazing, seeing the art pieces was a great activity to schedule in my visit to Florence, I would recommend it 100%

Was so easy and we got right in.. person met us right at meeting point on time and we went right in. Thank you!

Our tour guide was wonderful Very helpful and kind, we had an issue with our booking and he fixed it for us
