amazing experience unclear pricing

very good and engaging guide who made the experience informative and moving. poorly advertised pricing. If you book on trip advisor you are only paying for the guide and you still have to purchase the tickets for the galleria, doubling the price.

10/10 the best

It was fantastic. Our tour guide was really clear and knowledgeable. He showed us the art and the process behind the art and the story around the art. He was very clear. He had digital images to supplement his explanations where he could zoom in. You could stay in the gallery after for as long as you wanted.

Our guide was very nice...

Our guide was very nice and knowledgeable- and getting the timed ticket (which you still have to pay for on top of the tour) was great because we walked right in past the cue of people waiting. If you’ve never been here, it’s an extremely small museum and one you can definitely do on your own (though learning more about the pieces WAS interesting). Also, the museum is air conditioned, and you CAN bring a regular sized bag/ backpack in (which I read you couldn’t).

I purchased tickets for 235 to take my family to see David. When I arrived 10 minutes late I had to pay an additional 120 euros to get in. I should have purchased tickets directly from the museum.

Can’t be missed

Great experience with our tour guide Eliza. Very happy to choose this tour, probably would miss a lot of details and history if I did the tour myself. Hard to hold my tears when I first saw the incredible arts of Michalengelo. Can’t recommend enough..

Guide was excellent. Just make sure you know tickets are not included in viator pricing. Not cheap, but you do avoid longer lineups if you try doing it solo.

Worth it!

Very convenient to have skip the line access. You will receive instructions regarding where to meet the guide the day before. They have your tickets and you pay the museum fee in euros. The guided tour is well worth the money as we would never have learned much of what we did without it. Very organized and efficient.
