Horrible to deal with
I booked this 2 months in advance to get an early morning time slot. Four days before the tour, they sent me a note saying they couldn’t honor that time and offered me a time that conflicted with my uffizi tickets.
Operator response
We’re sorry this schedule change disrupted your plans, especially after you had booked well in advance to secure a specific time. This is not the level of service we aim to provide.
Could you please send your booking reference number, along with a short note about the alternative time you were offered, to feedback@crowntours.com? We’d like to review exactly what happened with your reservation and understand the situation properly.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Best regards,

I scheduled our group of...
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.
Operator response
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?

Not organized
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.
Operator response
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,
