Unfortunately, I had a text the night before telling me we would have to pay for the entry tickets as we had only paid for the tour. This was very perplexing but when we went to the meeting place, we were not asked for more money and were in time to join the group 15 mins before our booked time. Our guide led us straight in past the queue. He spent the whole hour talking about 'David' and the other sculptures nearby with incredible details about Michelangelo and what you can see from each side of David. We were all mesmerised by his calm delivery and even though it was crowded inside, he led us around to little areas where we could see perfectly. It was well worth having the talk as I believe I gained so much than just information.

A lovely and intimate venue compared to the size of the Uffizi gallery, whichvwe also enjoyed. Very high ceilings and beautiful lighting. We prepurchased our tickets to avoid lineups at the Accademie. It was going to be 28 Euros for a self-guided tour and we took advantage of a time-of-day discount (32.50 euros total) for a fully guided tour for a dozen of us. I cannot express clearly enough how valuable our guide was to our experience. Rafael, associated with one of the many on-line groups, was easy to find and we entered right on time. We walked past 100 to 200 people in line waiting for tickets. His coverage of what we were seeing was invaluable and ended the DAVID walk around with a surprising revelation.

Stepping into the Accademia Gallery felt like walking into a hushed cathedral of art. And then, at the far end of the hall, he appeared — Michelangelo’s David. Nothing prepared me for it. The sheer scale, the veins under the marble skin, the coiled tension in his stance — it was so lifelike it felt as though he might step down from his pedestal at any moment. Photographs don’t even scratch the surface; in person, it’s breathtaking, humbling and almost surreal. Seeing David up close wasn’t just a museum visit — it was an encounter with genius that left me completely awestruck.

We had booked a 9am entry and were informed the day prior that they were changing it to 9:15. Not a big deal as we had given ourselves a buffer before our next tour. We arrived at the meeting point that was provided on the tickets (there was a visual picture of the street post and a google map on where to meet with instructions that a rep in an orange shirt would meet us there). We waited with another couple that had booked as well until 9:15 and when no one showed we called and were told the meeting point was down the street instead at their store. There was no mention of this on the tickets. Our tour then didn't start until 9:30 and we waited in line for another 10 minutes. We kept losing our tour guide as she was very short and didn't have a flag or any distinctive clothes on (all in black) so she blending in with the other guest. This is the 2nd time Ive booked a tour with Headout and the 2nd fail with unorganized chaos. Needless to say I won't be using them again for any of our travels bookings.

Isabella the guide was wonderful. Attentive to keeping the group together. Very knowledgeable about the collection in the museum. She was also Enthusiastic & kind. I learned many new things from her about the artwork that in two previous trips to that museum that I had never knew. The guys outside managing your company's customers also do a great job among all that chaos created by the museum's poorly managed queues.

The museum was great, except we paid for skip the line guided tour and when we arrived we were told that our tour was they over booked and had technical issues. They also said they sent us an email which was untrue. Never received anything. They were going to reschedule us later but were unable to do so because we had other commitments. They finally got us in and refunded us like $28. The refund should of been more.
