I visit the Palazzo Ducale in Venice. I found that the price is a bit excessive (65eur, witj 1 hour guided tour ), but I went alone, and wanted to have a guide through the museum, so I gave it a try, and I was surprised. The whole experience with the ticket was straight forward. The staff was very nice and efficient, and the process was very easy. The group waited in a nice office and then we were guided directly to the Palazzo without waiting in any line. Our guide was awesome and transmitted energy and a lot of interesting facts. She was answering to all my questions with enthusiasm. Honestly, I enjoyed it a lot and the Palazzo is absolutely stunning. Thank you!

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.

I was a little nervous about this process initially but read the reviews and trusted their system works. Happy to share, It does, beautifully. Hardest but not 'hard' challenge was locating the ticket office but when we did a very nice woman (whose name I cannot recall - blonde formerly from Russia) was lovely and assisted us with a guided entry to the museum. David was great and worth a visit. Note: Avoid the bathroom facilities , they smelled horrible and I mean the worst I've ever experienced in my life bad.

Skip the lines with timed entry to the Accademia Gallery and enjoy a hassle-free visit.

The visit to Academia Gallery was very interesting. Our guide, Ana, explained, with a lot of passion, the history of David statue and the art of Michelangelo. I reccomand to plan a guided tour. You will feel better the energy of the place, throuth the storey told by the guide.

Headout was so easy to use! I was worried that because I didn't have a QR code before entering that the ticket wouldn't be accepted but don't worry! The staff at Accademia knew exactly what they were looking that, getting in was a breeze. BEAUTIFUL gallery too. I have a newfound appreciation for sculpture. Was definitely worth the money and the wait; even though the line might look long when trying to enter the gallery, it moves VERY quickly. Definitely using Headout again!

Everything went very smoothly and we didn't have to wait in line. The entrance was very well organized. We hadn't taken a guided tour or an audio guide, but the visit went very smoothly. It's crowded for sure, but you can still wander around easily, and access all the works without difficulty.
