Definitely worth it to skip the line. But it was basically just getting us inside, we didn't do a guided tour.

Really very good, we appreciated the audio descriptions throughout the tour. Magnificent David
Merci pour votre avis. Nous sommes ravis de savoir que vous avez apprécié les descriptions audio tout au long de la visite et la découverte du magnifique David. Nous espérons vous accueillir à nouveau très bientôt. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
Great experience. I am so glad we booked the skip the line tickets! We walked past a long line of people waiting in the normal queue. Saved quite a bit of time waiting in the sun.
Thank you for your wonderful review, Regina. We are so happy to hear that you had a great experience and that the fast-track tickets helped you save time. It is lovely to know you could avoid the long queue and enjoy your visit more comfortably. We hope to welcome you again soon. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
I scheduled our group of three through Viator. We were to meet our guide for skip the line tickets through Crowntours 15 minutes before our timed entry at 9:15 am. A few days before I received a message stating our updated time was 8:15 am. We showed up at the ticket redemption address at 7:30 am and waited with others who were confused as well. Two very nice young women showed up and gave everyone colored stickers depending on our tour guide. One tour guide showed up but a group of about 10 of us waited as the crowd grew. Our host did not arrive so the ladies that did show up purchased our tickets and got us in. All ended well but it was frustrating and confusing.
We are very sorry to hear about the confusion and frustration you experienced before your visit to see Michelangelo’s David. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the updated timing and the delay with the host arrival. While we are glad the team was ultimately able to assist you and ensure your entry, we completely understand how stressful and disorganized the experience must have felt. Could you kindly send your booking reference number to feedback@crowntours.com so we can review the situation further with the relevant team? Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
My schedule time was changed an hour later. Once we got someone to connect with they forgot to tell us of the audio connection which took to long due to poor connection inside. We just winged it and enjoyed it.
Dear Yolanda, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that the experience did not feel as organized as expected. We understand the frustration caused by the schedule change and the difficulties with the audio guide connection inside the museum. Your comments are very valuable and will be shared with the team to help improve communication and the check-in process for future guests. At the same time, we are glad to hear that you were still able to enjoy the museum experience overall. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
This tour was informative and also helped us get into the exhibit quickly. Great tour guide - answered all our questions
Dear Jean, Thank you for your wonderful review. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the fast-track access and found the tour informative, with a guide who answered all your questions. We hope to welcome you again soon. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
