Pick up point 39 is near the entrance not further back which also says 39 on the wall. Missed our slot. Not our fault no Internet so did not receive call.
Tour was a good length. Guide did well with keeping us out of the way when we stopped but her microphone cut out several times. Overall, a great museum and tour.
Julia was a very good guide, interesting and engaging. The intercom system was the best we’ve experienced as well. I didn’t expect to be so impressed by Michelangelo’s David, but it is definitely worth seeing!
Our guide was wonderful. The staff was very helpful as my mom was in a wheelchair. Highly recommend.
The guide was very friendly and although it was a small group he made sure that we all felt included and not left behind. A great way to see and learn a lot within the short timeframe.
Great tour, it was a bit crowded but the tour guide couldn't help that but it was very hard to hear what she was saying. Overall, would do it again for sure
We appreciated a quick entry and visit, we didn’t want a long tour. The guide provided just enough history to understand the importance of the Medici and the David.
I had a wonderful guided tour with Giacomo visiting Uffizi work my friend Simone. It was my best tour in the city!!
Great Skip the line tour of Galleria dell’Accademia di Firenze. Very informative and covered all the highlights of the gallery and details on the Statue of David and Michaelangelo. Skipping the line is a must given the long queues otherwise.
Pictures don’t do it justice, you have to go see for yourself! We had a great tour guide who answered all questions!
