This church was amazing! Definitely worth seeing. I would get the audio guide however to learn more about the details if you do not have a guided tour. Overall it was magnificent!
Dear Jennifer M, Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are delighted to hear that you found the church amazing and that you enjoyed your visit. We appreciate your recommendation regarding the audio guide, which is indeed a great way for visitors to learn more about the history, architecture, and fascinating details of this magnificent landmark when not joining a guided tour. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you again on another memorable experience in the future.
I received the entry tickets as pdf format with some instructions how to download audio and maybe a map? The audio portion required registration and download their app ? not sure because I didn’t receive the authentication email text from them. A few different attempts to contact them via the Viator app and it sent me the same pdf file that I received previously. So at the end, we walked through the basilica without any direction or narration If possible I would like to get part of fees refunded. The ticket at the door was much cheaper.

We can confirm that the entry tickets and audio guide instructions were shared prior to your visit, and We would also like to note that our support team responded to your messages and made every effort to assist you with the information available at the time, we are pleased that you were still able to visit the Basilica. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve the experience for future guests.
The self guided tour was very informative. I think next time we go it would be even better with a guided tour.The place is beautiful with many important people buried there. Unfortunately if you don’t speak dying, and it’s hard to realize who some of the people are in the tombs on the floor.
Dear Angela B, Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you found the self-guided tour informative and enjoyed your visit. We hope to welcome you again for an even more enriching experience in the future!

It’s great to know that all your questions were answered and that you had an amazing experience. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again in the future.
I never received our actual tickets and no one was there on site. DO NOT BOOK THIS EXPERIENCE! I WAS SCAMMED OUT OF MY MONEY !
Dear ELEANOR S, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about the confusion and inconvenience you experienced. Upon reviewing your booking, we identified that the tickets were duly shared via the Viator app and email 3 days prior to your visit. Our support team is always available and would have gladly assisted you with the tickets again if had we been contacted during your visit.
We booked a 10:30 time slot for the next day but later received communication that there was no availability and the ticket was moved to 2.30. If I recall, you did not have the option to cancel. The revised ticket was later sent by email and WhatsApp. The audio tour was ok but I’m assuming the official audio tour would have been a better choice. It’s interesting to see the tombs of some famous people. I would likely book through the official site in future.
Dear canmom, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you still enjoyed your visit and found the experience interesting. We sincerely apologize for the change in your timeslot. Due to availability constraints and occasional technical issues, the originally selected time may not always be confirmed. In such cases, our team offers the next best available option to ensure that you do not miss the experience, and we proceed only after receiving confirmation. We understand that this may have caused inconvenience, and we appreciate your understanding. As you mentioned, the basilica is a very popular site and tends to sell out well in advance, which is why early booking is strongly recommended. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the audio guide and will take it into consideration as we continue to improve our services. Thank you again for sharing your experience.
Must have experience the underrated basilica of Florence.. It was quite, clam and soothing... In the heart of the city, with mesmerizing architecture... Recommended morning times for best experience
Dear Tyson U, Thanks for your feedback, we are glad you had a nice time and enjoyed your visit.
Do not book this tour! You will not get a guide of the interior of the church! And the company will not issue a refund when you point the error out to them AND the tour company will also not reply once you reach out.
