Great experience
The meeting places for ticket and ticket pick up are close. The crowd is seemingly unorganized at first, but it’s actually organized.

Description
People from all over the world come to Florence to see him — David. This iconic statue, sculpted by Michelangelo, is widely regarded as one of the most celebrated works of art in history. Towering at over five meters tall, David represents the pinnacle of Renaissance sculpture, capturing both the idealized beauty of the human form and the intense psychological tension of the biblical hero before battle. More than just a statue, David has become a universal symbol of strength, youthful courage, and the enduring power of human creativity. As you walk through the halls of the museum, you’ll also discover the history behind Michelangelo’s Slaves — unfinished sculptures originally intended to adorn the tomb of Pope Julius II. In addition, take time to admire masterpieces by Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, Giambologna, and explore the fascinating Museum of Musical Instruments!

Very informative and interesting. Great explanation by Alex.
Q
Great tour
Alex was awesome! We had her for two tours and it was extremely informative and she answered all of our questions and it was great

Fleeced
Complete waste of time and I should have burned the $$ instead. Horrible instructions with zero assistance. We finally found the first location to get our ‘sticker’. Second location got our tickets (why two locations other than to screw people?). Assistance from that location was simply pointing towards the museum. Absolute MOB SCENE in front of the museum. Zero guidance or signage to direct people. We would have been forced to cut the line that was stretching for two blocks. We never even got into the museum. Our other tours we purchased in Florence were great, but this one felt like a complete rip off. Stay way from this one. You will be glad you did
Operator response

Please reach out to our customer support team directly so we can address this properly.

skip the line worked just as advertised. They were able to accommodate for a same-day travel emergency with my original booking which I was extremely appreciative of.
B
Chaotic ticketing and entry process
The museum was fine. Chaotic ticketing and entry process Though. But it’s better than waiting in the regular line for entry.
Operator response

Great if you are short on...
Great if you are short on time and the weather is not cooperating. Efficient staff. Everyone was nice. Only negative was fnding the voucher office because it ate up some of our time.
S
Disorganized
Waited in hot sun, in a doorway. The folks representing you were rude., only one gentleman appeared to know what they were doing.. When we got to the skip the line place, we were put in a line 15 minutes later than our scheduled time. Tour groups went before us. Never again through your company. We also booked through another and it was so much more organized.
Operator response
