Medici Museum
I thought I was well educated about the Medici family, however, I was completely lost. Not a lot of information provided
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the Medici history was difficult to follow and that you felt more information was needed. We appreciate your comments and will use them to improve the clarity and depth of the tour.
P
Not Worth It, avoid
Cost $61 but i could have done the same or better for $36. Guide never showed but did send email saying so, but I didn't see it. They said I could download an audio app. The tour operator provided nothing that I could not do on my own. They didn't save me any time, effort or money.
Operator response
Unfortunately, you did not show up at the designated meeting point, and our guide was therefore unable to meet you in person. We also sent you an email with the relevant information and provided access to the audio guide as an alternative. We understand that you did not see the message in time, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience. We appreciate your feedback and will continue working to improve our communication and service.

A cool experience
Medici history is fascinating and the architecture is breathtaking. The reserved entry worked perfectly,no lines, no stress. If you're visiting Florence, definitely add this to your list.
E
Amazing place, skip the line is a must
We had such a great time here. The chapels are beautiful and packed with history, but not as crowded or overwhelming as other spots in Florence. Getting the ticket in advance saved us so much time. Walked right in. Highly recommend checking it out!
E
Invalid ticket at the ticket office
Ticket not recognized (our names are not on the list). After much discussion, we were allowed to enter but without audio guides!
Operator response
Dear Customer, thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced. After verification, our team coordinated with the museum staff, and your entry was successfully granted. Regarding the audio guides, we regret that they were not provided as expected. We take your comments seriously and are reviewing this incident with our local team to prevent similar situations in the future. We appreciate your patience and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience next time.

Highly educational and stunning
Highly educational and stunning! The audio guide was very informative and helped us understand the massive impact of the Medici family on Florence. The tickets were delivered straight to my WhatsApp, and we walked right in.
E
An amazing self-guided experience.
Well worth the money. It was an amazing self-guided experience. The architecture and inlaid marble work are beautifully preserved. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the Medici history at our own pace.
S
A different kind of Florence
Once inside, I realized this place is more about atmosphere than size. It’s not huge, but every room feels important. The combination of art, history, and silence creates something special. I’d recommend going early if you can—it makes the experience even better.
E
A peaceful escape
There’s a deep silence that makes you slow down and really observe. I found myself standing longer than usual, just taking in the art and the space. It’s not overwhelming, but it leaves a strong impression. Definitely one of those places that feels more meaningful the longer you stay
