David is truly amazing!

We did the skip-the-line tickets and got right in. David is truly amazing. There was part of the museum that I think everyone missed as there was literally no one in that entire section.

Operator response

Good Morning from Caf Tour & Travel, Dear Kymm, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us.

Discovering hidden corners of such an iconic museum often makes the experience even more special, and we are happy this became a memorable part of your time in Italy. We hope to welcome you again soon for more unforgettable cultural experiences in beautiful Florence. Kind regards from Firenze, The Caf Tour & Travel Team

Skip this ticket

Absolutely do not get this ticket. It serves no value at all. Book the ticket thru the museum directly. We essentially picked up our ticket and stood in the same line as all the others. The David is the only well known art, most is religious icons-beautiful but seen everywhere in Florence.

Operator response

Dear Laura, Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that, as indicated in the description, highlights, and inclusions, this ticket provides timed entry with priority access, meaning you can skip the general admission ticket purchase lines. Upon arrival, a host is available near the entrance to assist with ticket collection and ensure a smooth start to your visit. However, please note that all visitors are required to pass through security checks, which can result in some waiting time regardless of the type of ticket. Regarding the museum itself, while Michelangelo’s David is certainly the most iconic masterpiece, the Accademia Gallery also houses an important collection of Renaissance works that many visitors find highly valuable and enriching. We truly appreciate your comments, as they help us improve communication and set clearer expectations, and we hope you were still able to enjoy part of your visit. Warm regards

Would not choose this tour

Booking wasn’t confirmed but we got charged anyway. Then the tour guide didn’t show with no communication whatsoever. Poor communication and I had to request a refund

Operator response

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to read about the inconvenience you describe. Unfortunately, without any booking reference or specific details, we’re not able to verify or investigate what may have occurred in your case. We would also like to gently clarify that the experience you booked does not include a guided tour. It provides assistance at the meeting point, where our staff delivers your pre-booked timed-entry tickets. On the day in question, our assistant was regularly present at the agreed meeting point. For this reason, we believe there may have been some confusion and that your review could refer to a different provider. If you’d like to share more details with us, we would be more than happy to look into this further and assist you. Warm regards

Late Start

Our start time was delayed because the staff did not have the information for ticketing organized in a way that met the needs of all the customers.

Operator response

Dear Jessica, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the delay at the start of your visit. As indicated, during high season some delays may occur due to the large number of visitors. On that particular morning, there was a slight delay from the museum in releasing the tickets, which resulted in entry approximately 10 minutes after the reserved time. We understand this may have been inconvenient and sincerely apologize. Unfortunately, this is something that can occasionally happen during peak periods due to the high demand at the Accademia Gallery. We appreciate your understanding and hope you still enjoyed your visit. Warm regards from Florence

Accademia Gallery

A must see nothing more impressive than the David. The Rape of the Sabine will bring tears to your eyes. You must educate yourself about Michelangelo’s prisoners then visit each one of them.

Our visit to the...

Our visit to the Accademia Gallery to see Michelangelo’s David was smooth and well-organized. It was easy to meet up with our guide and get our tickets, and she was friendly and even gave us a great local coffee recommendation while we waited. Overall, the process was simple, and the experience of seeing David in person was absolutely worth it!

Received tickets

Received tickets at meeting point. The only strange thing is when we met to pick up our tickets they were for a later entry time than I actually purchased. Like 2 hours later. It ended up being ok because I gave us enough time between tours to get to our second one, but it still was not exactly what I agreed to purchasing.

Operator response

Good Morning from Caf Tour & Travel, Dear Cortni, Thank you truly for sharing your feedback and for joining us to discover the Accademia Gallery: a place where Florence’s artistic soul shines at its brightest. We are happy you received your tickets smoothly, although we sincerely regret the unexpected change in entry time; your time is precious, and we appreciate your patience. Your note helps us refine our logistics so each guest receives exactly what they booked. We are delighted everything worked out in your schedule and hope the encounter with Michelangelo’s David left a lasting memory. We would love to welcome you back to explore more treasures of Tuscany with us perhaps a countryside wine experience next time? Warm wishes from Florence, Caf Tour & Travel Team
