Seeing David was amazing. I’m thankful Marco met us at museum since it was a madhouse. Wouldn’t had known where to go. Museum was behind in letting groups in so had to wait.

To get in we had to pick up the tickets 15 minutes away from the entrance to the David at the tour office. They were pleasant but made us wait for the tickets for a half hour. Also we arrived early and they could not issue tickets u til 1/2 hour before tour. Then to get into the Academia we had to walk 15 min. Across Florence and stand in line for 1/2 hour or more to get in. Wasted our time with this running around. Was not pleasant. But we got in and they allowed us to stay for over 2 hours. They should have the tour company meet us with our tickets at the Academia!
No other tour made us run around like this. Not ok.

The gallery is wonderful; art work does not disappoint and crowds are manageable. BUT: walking to one end of the city to exchange a voucher, then an extended walk through crowds to pick up a ticket is crazy and annoying waste of time and effort. Please issue a voucher and time at one place near the gallery. The extended walking and searching for an address through building works was unacceptable at best, and bloody annoying. Please FIX this system!

Good instructions on how to get the tickets after the booking. The ticket was timely as expected. Heads-up that the museum entry time seems runs late as the day goes by. For example, our ticket was for 10:30, we were invited to enter around 11. It is a worthwhile wait to see such a masterpiece in my opinion.

Note the meeting place for the tour. It is 15-20 min away from the museum. Very inconvenient and unnecessary to get there tickets. They charged 10x cost of tickets.

we loved seeing The David up close. The problem was the communication from the tour operator. We were already halfway to the Academia when they texted to come pick up tickets back by the Uffiz (10 minute walk in the other direction from where we were)i. It would have been helpful to get that info the day before so we would have planned better.

Skipping the line is a must for this experience if you like saving time. We enjoyed getting in easily and doing a quick self-guided tour. You can definitely spend a lot of time here if art is what you came for. Getting the tickets from the office was very simple too.

This group had the only available tickets - likely because the logistics are a bit challenging - but if you plan accordingly, it's definitely worth it. Staff was very helpful and provided great information. They even helped us secure a taxi as we had a group member with an injury that made walking difficult. I highly recommend this group, but be sure you build in time before entry to accommodate their ticket pickup process.
